Royal Jelly is a milky white secretion produced by the glands in the pharynx of the worker bee. During the first three days of life, all bee larvae feed on it exclusively and it is somehow responsible for turning some bees into Queen Bees. It contains high concentrations of dietary nutrients - proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, fatty acids and vitamins, notably B Vitamins. The fact that the Queen Bee is fed this substance for far longer than the worker bees has led some to suggest it may be useful as a general tonic or anti-aging supplement.
Recommened for:
- Aging
- Healing of wounds (due to its anti-inflammatory action)
Precautions
As with other bee products, Royal Jelly should be used with caution in cases of known pollen allergies.
