Introducing Royal Jelly

Busy persons can be referred to as busy bees because bees are very busy insects which gather pollens enable to produce royal jelly. This royal jelly came from the secretion of honey bees that feeds the entire bee colony, especially the queen bees. The produce came from worker bees’ glands called hypopharynx. The royal jelly is a white substance on bees head. It is composed of 67% water, 12% carbohydrates, 4% lipids and 13% protein and other nutritional components like b-complex, vitamin B5, B6 and C, fatty acids, mineral and enzymes which are all good for the body. These substances can be found in beauty products and food supplements.

Royal jelly’s components diverts when climate changes: carbohydrate level increase during rainy season while lipid contents diminish during hot season. Nevertheless, changes don’t affect its effectiveness. There are more and more products produced from royal jelly called Apitheraphy. The demand in apitheraphy products lead to emergence of bee farms to cultivate lots of royal jellies. In this bee farms there are artificial bee colony with movable frame hives where royal jelly is gathered from honeycomb or queen cells. Basically, royal jelly is collected from queens since they can store more jelly and repeat this process in 4 to 5 years. Unlike worker bees, they consume royal jelly to live since they’re lifespan is only one season. After 5-6 months, you can collect 500 g of royal jelly.

Royal Jelly

Royal jelly is an incredibly rich, creamy, opalescent, white liquid that is synthesized by the worker bees exclusively for the nourishment and cultivation of the queen bee. It is considered the most precious gift of the hive, as it extends the longevity of a bee's life from six weeks to five years. Royal jelly is incomparable in its ability to enhance both physical and mental performance. Put in a simple manner, royal jelly promotes longevity by helping to maintain health, beauty, and youth.

It is extremely potent, highly nutritional, and very natural. Royal jelly is extremely difficult for scientists to completely breakdown its components or synthesize its compounds. No matter how Royal Jelly is studied, certain components of the substance still seem to mystify even the most brilliant scientists. Because of this, duplicating what is thought to be the exact chemistry of royal jelly does not duplicate its effects in the human body. This means that only honeybees can make royal jelly.

Royal jelly is rich in proteins and B-complex vitamins, especially pantothenic acid, which is often associated with reversing some of the major effects of aging. Although the chemical makeup of royal jelly may vary slightly according to the location it is found in, the United States Department of Agriculture has analyzed one gram of royal jelly and found in to contain vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, inositol, folic acid, and vitamin C. Royal jelly also contains vital fatty acids, sugars, sterols, phosphorus compounds, and acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is responsible for the proper transmission of nerve impulses and the proper functioning of the endocrine system. A lack of acetylcholine in the body can make us susceptible to a number of nerve disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Multiple Sclerosis.

Royal jelly can be purchased in a pure jelly-like material that must be kept frozen or refrigerated. It is also available in capsules, tablets, soft gels, and in honey chewable. Royal jelly is at its ideal best when it is combined with other natural beehive products and complementary botanicals. Because royal jelly spoils very easy, much research has been done on the ability to preserve this key nutrient. One good way to present and preserve royal jelly is within its natural medium of pure honey. By taking freeze-dried varieties of royal jelly, one can also obtain their supplemental dose. A capsulated, freeze-dried variety is an excellent and convenient way to ingest royal jelly.

It is necessary to purchase quality bee products in order to obtain the potent and pure varieties of any type of bee food or by-product. It should be noted that a relatively small percentage of the population can experience a laxative effect from royal jelly or bee pollen. Additionally, allergic reactions can happen. However, they are quite rare. Some of these allergies are due to poor quality pollen, as it has been gathered from commercially sprayed flowers or improperly cleaned, dried, or stored. Anyway taking bee products should begin slowly, in small amounts to be sure that an allergic reaction will not occur. Natural bee pollen and royal jelly can be found at your local or internet health food store. Always purchase name brands to ensure that you receive a high quality and pure product.
