Royal Jelly: A Concentrate Of Vitality
Royal jelly, used by bees to feed their brood, is a natural substance rich in nutrients. This concentration of vitamins and minerals is recommended for combating physical and mental fatigue, during periods of overwork or convalescence.
What is royal jelly?
Royal jelly is a substance secreted by worker bees between the fifth and fourteenth day of their existence. In a hive, this gelatinous and pearly substance serves to feed the larvae and the queen of the colony. This precious substance is even the exclusive food of the hive's queen.
This product, with its simultaneously acidic and very sweet flavor, constitutes a sort of nutritional concentrate. That is why it is often recommended to take a course of it to combat fatigue.
What is the composition of royal jelly?
Royal jelly is composed of 66% water. It contains on average 4.5% lipids, 14.5% carbohydrates (glucose and fructose), and 13% proteins.
But above all, this hive product provides a cocktail of vitamins, trace elements, acetylcholine, and antibiotics.
This precious substance is even the most natural product rich in vitamin B5.
How is royal jelly produced?
Royal jelly production in Beekeeping requires the use of special techniques. Indeed, bees produce only the amount necessary for rearing the brood and do not store it.
Thus, jelly production is carried out by specialized beekeepers. This explains why this beehive product is expensive.
Its high price is also justified by its rarity because a hive produces at most 300 grams of jelly per year.
What are the benefits of royal jelly?
Royal jelly is a natural substance with exceptional properties. It has multiple health benefits, particularly in enhancing vitality and resistance to stress, fatigue, cold, and infections.
Scientific studies have confirmed its effectiveness in:
- strengthening the immune system.
- improving stress management and regulating mood and sleep.
- limiting cellular aging due to its richness in flavonoids.
- combating bad LDL cholesterol.
- boosting memory with its content of acetylcholine and essential nutrients.
How to do a royal jelly cure?
