Royal jelly, bee milk, or royal jelly: they're all different names for the same light-colored substance: royal jelly. These products made by bees are known not only for their delicious flavors but also for their health benefits. The effects of royal jelly are therefore a frequently asked question from our customers. In this blog post, you'll learn not only how royal jelly works, but also what effects it has on your body and where you can buy it.
What is royal jelly?
When you first see royal jelly, it might remind you of a kind of cloudy milk. This isn't surprising, considering bees produce it to nourish young bees until they reach adulthood. The only bee that can feed on it for its entire life is the queen bee. Royal jelly promotes growth and development so much that the queen can double its size and live 24 times longer. If it has such a strong effect on a bee, shouldn't it also be extra healthy for humans?
What is in royal jelly?
The queen bee doesn't just grow bigger than other bees for no reason. Royal jelly is packed with nutrients such as:
-
Proteins
-
Vitamins (especially B complex)
-
Glycerides
-
Minerals
-
Hydroxydecanoic acid
What effect does royal jelly have on your body?
Royal jelly hasn't been in the spotlight for very long because it's very scarce and therefore difficult to obtain. Therefore, relatively little scientific research has been conducted on the effects of royal jelly on the body and whether it's healthy. We did find one study, which originated in Japan and was conducted in 2012. (Morita, H, 2012) This study examined the effect of royal jelly on the mental health of healthy subjects. The result was that these subjects' health improved significantly after this period.
