Royal Jelly is a substance of complex chemical structure produced by the young
nurse bees as larva food. Although it is not quite as well known as bee
pollen, royal jelly equals pollen in its salutary effects.
The young nurse bees make royal jelly, it is a secretion from glands on the
tops of their heads. For 2-3 days, royal jelly is the only food given to all
young larvae in their maturation process, while for the queen larvae, it is the
specific food for their whole life period. During the 3 days in which the
worker bee larvae are fed on royal jelly, they reach the maximum development;
their weight multiplies about 250 times. The queen (fed only on royal jelly
for her entire life) reaches maturity 5 days earlier than the worker bees; and,
when she is fully grown, her weight is double that of the working bee. The
span of the worker bee's life is about 35-40 days; while the queen lives 5-6
years and is extremely prolific. She is fertilized once, and from that moment
on can lay as many as three thousand eggs a day during the season. As
incredible as this may seem, she can lay that many eggs for five years. Any
creature that has that amount of energy and
vitality has to be respected!
This rich concentrated food is not just useful for the bees. It contains
remarkable amounts of proteins, lipids, glucides, vitamins, hormones, enzymes,
mineral substances, and specific vital factors that act as biocatalysts in cell
regeneration processes within the human body.
Although some of the elements found in royal jelly are in microgram quantities,
they still can act supremely with co-enzymes as catalysts or can act
synergistically. (That is, the elements' action combined is greater than the
sum of their actions taken separately.) Royal jelly is rich in protein,
vitamins B-1, B-2, B-6, C, E, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, inositol and
folic acid. In fact, it contains seventeen times as much pantothenic acid as
that found in dry pollen.
HEALING AND REJUVENATION
PROPERTIES OF ROYAL JELLY
Apiculture -- the study of bees and their products is no longer relegated to
the status of folk medicine. Since both beekeeping and harvesting of products
are carried out under technically advanced conditions, apitherapy has reached
the stage of scientific medicine. The general interest in bee products for the
treatment and prevention of various ailments on the part of medical
practitioners and laymen alike attests to the validity of bee products as
health aids.
Studies indicate the effectiveness of royal jelly for the following:
for tiredness and overwork, asthenia, anxiety states, insomnia and anorexia
bronchial asthma
liver diseases (hepatitis)
pancreatitis
general exhaustion diseases
arthritis, gout, atherosclerosis
kidney diseases
stomach ulcers
ovarian insufficiency
reversing the aging process
stimulating and regenerating the nervous system
for accelerating the healing and consolidation of fractured bones.
skin disorders
promotes sexual rejuvenation
Since its action seems to be more systemic rather than one which affects a
specific biological function, royal jelly has been highly recommended for a
large variety of purposes.
Nearly all the scientific investigators have agreed upon at least two things:
1. More laboratory and clinical studies are needed and should be made until the
whole story of royal jelly is known; and,
2. Nonetheless, royal jelly is a valuable addition to everyone's diet.
The Banting Institute of Ontario, on analyzing royal jelly found that it is
rich in proteins and vitamins of the B complex and especially in pantothenic
acid, the vitamin B which has been associated with longevity and in restoring
gray hair to its original color. The United States Department of Agriculture
has said that one gram (1/30 oz.) contains the following:
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin )-1.5 to 7.4 micrograms
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)-5.3 to 10.0 micrograms
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)-2.2 to 10.2 micrograms
Niacin (Nicotinic acid)-91.0 to 149.0 micrograms
Pantothenic Acid-65.0 to 200.0 micrograms
Biotin-0.9 to 3.7 micrograms
Inositol-78.0 to 150.0 micrograms
Folic Acid-0.16 to 0.50 micrograms
Vitamin C-a trace
Vitamin E-none
