Royal Jelly and our health

Royal Jelly (along with bee pollen, propolis and honey) contains a natural source of essential nutrients which the body needs to maintain good health. Maintaining good health is especially hard in today’s increasingly toxic environment. Both our food supply and our diet is often deficient in important nutrients. Therefore, we need to supplement our diet with products such as royal jelly and the other products of the beehive

Royal jelly also has a yeast inhibiting function which may prevent conditions such as thrush and athlete’s foot. It is also used to treat muscular dystrophy, MS and Parkinson’s disease as well as reduce allergic symptoms and help control cholesterol levels.

Also of significance, it has been found to be of great help in boosting the body’s resistance to the harmful side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. These treatments attack the immune system at its very core, and in many cases the actual treatment delivers a debilitating blow and not the illness itself. Royal Jelly with its high amino acid content can help the immune system and provide a basic defense against external elements that ordinarily attack the immune system and reduce our body’s capability for defense. Supplementing our diet with Royal Jelly helps to rebuild the good cells that are destroyed by chemotherapy and helps to strengthen the immune system.

Royal Jelly also contains the amino and gamma globulin, which helps your immune system fight off viral infections. It also contains sterols, phosphorous compounds and acetylcholine, which is needed to transmit nerve messages from cell to cell.

Like bee propolis, royal jelly also appears to have anti-tumor properties. A team of Japanese researchers gave royal jelly to one of two groups of laboratory mice before transplanting different types of cancer cells in them. The royal jelly had dramatic effects on sarcoma cells. The life-span of the mice was extended by about one-fifth and tumor sizes were about half the size, compared with untreated mice, according to a report in the journal Nippon Yakurigaku Zasshji-Folia Pharmacologica Japonica (Feb. 1987;89:73-80).

Royal jelly is taken more and more widely as a dietary supplement, with various health benefits associated with its nutritional components.

Many people use the substance as a replacement for B-complex vitamins such as pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine).

As covered in other articles on this website, the overall composition of royal jelly is 67% water, 12.5% protein, including many different amino acids, 11% simple sugars, and 5% fatty acids.

Royal jelly in its pure form contains many trace minerals, enzymes, antibacterial and antibiotic components.

Medical research into royal Jelly reports that when ingested, the substance may stimulate the growth of glial cells and neural stem cells in the brain. This activity may account for its reputation as a cognitive enhancer and as a beneficial agent in cases of Parkinson's Disease. As with most natural supplements, you should seek advice from your practitioner before use. In very rare cases royal jelly may cause an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals.

Propolis is also a substance found in the beehive, and it too may have many potential health benefits* People discuss propolis as being a potential natural cancer drug. While preliminary studies in this field are positive, much more research is needed.
A report published in the Cancer Research (Sep 15,93;53 1482-88) stated that propolis, with its concentration of caffeic acids, might help prevent colon cancer. The article described how caffeic acids were able to prevent the formation of pre cancerous tissues in rats when exposed to cancer causing chemicals.

Need help choosing the right product for you? - our website has a great deal of information on the main products from the beehive, royal jelly, bee pollen, propolis and honey. We also carry select herbals, such as ginseng and supplements for bone and joint support.

Once removed from the hive it must be processed quickly to prevent contamination, ideally within two or three hours. Processing generally involves one or a combination of the following steps:

1 - Treating the product with a chemical preservative.

2 - Lyophilizing the product (removing the water, often termed freeze-drying)

3 - Adding a natural preservative like honey.

4 - Freezing the substance or attempting to maintain it in a refrigerated state.

The favored process is lyophilizing or freeze-drying. This removes the water without effecting the nutrient quality of the product and creates a white powder which can be capsulated for human consumption. Once in capsulated form the product generally has a shelf life of 4 years and does not require refrigeration.

Many questions are raised about the nutritional quality of Royal Jelly, and usually relate to the issue of processing:- "freeze-dried versus non-freeze dried".

Freeze drying ‘locks-in’ the nutritional content of the product and removes any doubts about handling the product down the line. For example, if you choose liquid royal jelly which is sold as ‘requiring refrigeration’, how do you know that the product has been stored and transported in a refrigerated state, and that it isn’t in a partially decomposed state with diminished nutritive properties?
