Royal Jelly Benefits: Nature's Ultimate Superfood
Royal jelly has been prized for centuries as the queen bee’s superfood. Learn its benefits for energy, fertility, skin health, and overall wellness.
Royal jelly is the nutrient-rich substance worker bees feed to developing queen bees. Packed with proteins, vitamins, and unique fatty acids, it has captured attention as a potent wellness supplement. Here is what it is, why it is special, and how to add it to your routine.
What Is Royal Jelly?
Royal jelly is a milky secretion produced by worker bees. While all larvae receive royal jelly for the first few days, future queens are fed royal jelly exclusively, enabling them to grow larger and live longer than worker bees. Fresh royal jelly must be kept cold to preserve its nutrients, which is why sourcing from a beekeeper who handles it carefully is essential.
Nutritional Profile of Royal Jelly
Royal jelly contains complete proteins, B vitamins (including B5 and B6), trace minerals like calcium and zinc, and fatty acids such as 10-HDA (10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid). Researchers study 10-HDA for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. The jelly also includes acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that supports brain function.
