| Royal jelly, also
known as gelee royale and RJ, is
the milky-white gelatinous substance secreted from the
cephalic glands of nurse worker bees (Apis
mellifera) for apparently the sole purpose of
stimulating the growth and development of the
queen bee. Without royal jelly, the
queen bee would be no different from
the worker bees and would live about
as long (seven to eight weeks).
With royal jelly, the queen bee can
live five to seven years. This
fact explains the popular belief that royal
jelly has rejuvenating qualities. Royal jelly
consists of an emulsion of proteins, sugars,
lipids and some other substances in a
water base. Proteins make up about
13% of royal jelly. Most of
the proteins comprise a family called major
royal jelly proteins. One protein in
royal jelly called royalsin possesses antibiotic properties
against gram-positive, but not gram-negative, bacteria.
About 11% of royal jelly is made
up of sugars, such as fructose and
glucose, similar to those found in honey.
Lipids comprise about 5% of the
substance and consist mainly of medium-chain hydroxy
fatty acids, such as trans-10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid, which
is also thought to possess antimicrobial properties.
Royal jelly also contains vitamins, such as
pantothenic acid, minerals and phytosterols. Neopterin,
or 2-amino-6- (1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl)-4 (3H)-pteridinone, was initially isolated
from royal jelly. Neopterin is also
found in humans, and, although its precise
role is not known, it appears to
play an important role in the human
immune system.
Package Type: 60 Softgels
Warnings: Consult doctor before use if you have or have had allergies or asthma. Discontinue use and consult your doctor if any adverse reaction occur including allergic reaction (including rash or difficulty breathing). Not intended for use by persons under the age of 18. Keep out of children. Store in a cool dry place.
Precautions: For adults, take one (1) softgel one to three times daily, preferably with a meal.
Notes: Royal jelly (bees milk) contains protein, minerals, vitamins, amino acid, and other natural factors, including 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10). It is this extraordinary nutrients rich food, that turns the common worker bee into a dynamic queen bee, making her a giant among her relatives, giving her enormous strength and extending her life many times over. Assayed to contain at least 30-40% protein and 3.5-4.0% 10-HDA. Placed into softgels to further enhance stability.Royal jelly is the light colored, highly nutritious gelatinous sustance that is secreted from the pharyngeal glands of a special group of young nurse bees between their sixth and twelth days of her life. In the hive, royal jelly is used to feed all bee larvae for the first few days of their lives and then to stimulate the growth and developement of the larvae to be queen bee, who feed on royal jelly exclusively. Royal jelly contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, intrinsic antibacterial and components and is the only source of pure acetylcholine.
Ingredients: OTHER INGREDIENTS: Soybean oil, Glycerin, Gelatin, Beeswax/Soybean oil mixture, Lecithin.
