ROYAL JELLY

Royal Jelly is a milky-white substance secreted from glands located in the heads of young adult female nurse bees.

Just as milk fed to a human baby is a glandular secretion, so is Royal Jelly, and by analogy may be considered the milk colostrum of honey bees.

Royal Jelly is fed exclusively to developing bees for the first three days of their lives.  Thereafter it is fed only to the queen bee.

Queen bees are usually 2 - 3 times larger than other bees, live up to five years (the worker live for only 40 - 60 days in summer) and are capable of laying twice her body-weight in eggs every day.  The only difference between a worker and a queen bee is their nutrition.

Historically the Chinese have used Royal Jelly to help retard the ageing process as well as many problems associated with old age.

Ingredients for our Royal Jelly Capsules:

Royal Jelly (as extra equiv. to) 1,000 mg

Vegetable oil, Lecithin, Beeswax

The main component of Royal Jelly is protein, accounting for 40% of it’s bulk, with the ratio of albumin and globulin at 2 - 1, similar to that of the human body.

Amino acids found in Royal Jelly and utilised by the honeybee are also necessary in humans.  Glutamic acid regulates brain function and lysine promotes growth.

Royal Jelly is a rich source of the B vitamins. 


 

q       Pantothenic acid plays an important role in delaying senility and keeping fit. 

q       Vitamin B1 eases physical fatigue and frayed nerves

q       Vitamin B2 promotes the growth of healthy tissue

q       Vitamin B6 is needed for the proper activity of the nervous system Vitamin B12 and folic acid are required for the manufacture of healthy blood cells, nicotinic acid maintains skin normality, and inositol promotes the metabolism of fat.

Scientific studies show that Royal Jelly can aid healing in:

·         Anorexia:  by increasing the appetite of chronic and transitory anorexics

·         Dystrophy in infants:  improves appetite, skin appearance and activity.  Promotes growth of premature babies.

·         Gastrointestinal ulcers:  complements usual therapies.

·         Regulates arterial tension to alleviate high and low blood pressure and arteriosclerosis.

·         Appears to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

·         Blood sugar levels in diabetics reduced.

·         Alleviates neurotic fatigue, minor nervous breakdowns, states of anxiety and phobias.

·         Improves mental development, with a decrease in muscular excitement in children suffering Down’s Syndrome.

·         Benefits skin illnesses such as dermatitis and xeroderma (excessive dryness of skin with fine scaling).

·         Stimulates growth of skin in burn blisters.

·         Take 1-3 1000MG capsules daily depending on requirements.

IN SUMMARY…

 

·         Royal Jelly is the richest form of pantothenic acid yet discovered (an aid to sleep and stress resistance).

·         Stimulates the appetite and growth patterns with leucinine and lysine helping those with poor appetites (there are no reported weight gains through supplementing with Royal Jelly).

·         The potency of Royal Jelly is determined by its freshness.  A special fatty acid that occurs naturally in Royal Jelly is 10-HDA and this is used as a measure of the freshness and therefore potency.  Where freshly harvested, the finest quality Royal Jelly has a 10-HDA level of 2%.

·         Royal Jelly is rich in nutrients that delay senility, regulate the function of immunity and boosts the output of lymphatic and adrenal glands.  It can be used as an auxiliary treatment for malnutrition, chronic hepatitis, arthritis, hypertension and diabetes.

Other Facts about Royal Jelly

Convenience and processed foods, lack of wholesome raw materials, excessive dependence on stimulants, sedatives and tranquillisers, too little exercise and joy all contribute to early degeneration of our bodies.  Royal Jelly is natural, non-toxic, compatible with other therapies and has NO KNOWN SIDE EFFECTS or contraindications.

Royal Jelly has the effect of a tonic, normalising imbalances in the body and helping the body to restore equilibrium and health.  Experiments show that the valuable properties of Pollen and Ginseng are enhanced when combined with Royal Jelly. 

Royal Jelly contains a complex variety of ingredients, only 96% of which have been identified so far.  However it is clear that it is not any one ingredient in isolation but rather the combined effect of many of these ingredients harmoniously balanced in this natural substance that gives Royal Jelly its potency.

Royal Jelly contains:

 

            Proteins and carbohydrates

Minerals:  copper, calcium, iron, silica, manganese, sodium, chromium, nickel, potassium, phosphorus, aluminium, magnesium, sulphur, gold, bismuth, zinc

All 30 naturally existing amino acids including the eight “essential” amino acids

Vitamins, including the B group, A, C, D, E, H, K & M

Peptides, esters and hormones

Royal Jelly is a particularly concentrated source of most of the B vitamins, especially vitamin B₅.

In addition, Royal Jelly contains many lipids, including 10-hydroxy deconoic acid, a substance not found anywhere else in nature that inhibits bacterial and yeast growth and strengthens both red and white blood cells.  Royal Jelly also contains large quantities of acetylcholine which stimulates the adrenal function and rejuvenates the nervous system.

Bees produce Royal Jelly to feed their young larvae for the first three days of their lives, however only the Queen Bee receives a diet of pure Royal Jelly for her entire life.  Royal Jelly is mainly produced by adding frames of specially designed plastic cups containing larvae to the beehive and harvesting the Royal Jelly fed to these cells after three days.  The process is not harmful to the larvae or the bee colony as a whole.  A single beehive can produce up two kilograms of Royal Jelly per year, enough to supply a 500mg daily dose to 33 people for three months each.

Why take Royal Jelly?

Users of Royal Jelly have reported that it rejuvenates and regenerates human cells, especially as we get older, partly by increasing the oxygen availability and use in the cells.  It improves the condition of skin, hair and nails.  It strengthens the body’s defence mechanisms and promotes metabolism, improving immunity and aiding recuperation after illness or surgery.  It is a natural antibiotic, it normalises blood pressure, reduces blood sugar in diabetics, counters malnutrition in infants, improves digestion, improves stress tolerance, normalises and restores sexual function and relieves menstrual discomfort.  Royal Jelly alleviates nausea, cramps, tiredness and depression during and after pregnancy.  It helps to balance and strengthen all intellectual, emotional, mental and physical functions and is used successfully in preventative and corrective therapy.  Royal Jelly has been shown to lower cholesterol levels in the body and reduce pain, including common back pains, sciatica and lumbago.
