| What is Royal Jelly ?
 Queen
bees are Made , not born, and their feeding with royal jelly is the key to
that process. Without this special food , queen bees would fail to develop
properly . Royal Jelly is a thick, extremely nutritious, milky-white ,
creamy liquid secreted by the hypopharyngeal glands of the nurse bees.
Queen bees live exclusively on royal jelly and it accounts for their
incredible size and longevity .They average 42 percent larger and weigh 60
percent more than the worker bee. Amazingly they live 40 times
longer than worker bees, seven years as compared to seven weeks. In the
wild , Queen bees will produce 2,000 eggs per day with each days brood
equal to 200 times her own body weight.
An Excellent Source of Nutrients
Biochemically speaking royal jelly is very
complex . It is a very rich source of proteins and contains eight
essential amino acids , important fatty acid , sugars , sterols and
phosphorous compounds as well as acetylcholine . Acetylcholine is needed
to transmit nerve messages from cell to cell. Too little of this compound
makes individuals prone to Alzheimer's disease. It contains gamma
globulin, known to stimulate the immune system and fight off infections.
Royal Jelly is an excellent source of nutrients and is gentle to the
systems. Says Steve Schechter, M.D. Royal Jelly contains Vitamin A,
B complex and E. It is particularly useful for its B-complex contents,
including B1,B2,B6,B12, biotin , folic acid , and inositol. Royal Jelly is
high in the B vitamin pantothenic acid , recognized for its ability to
reduce stress levels. It also supplies the minerals, calcium, copper,
iron, phosphorous, potassium, silicon and sulfur.
Promotes Youthfulness, Skin
Beauty and more
Although royal jelly has been traditionally
known to prolong youthfulness and improve the skin beauty, evidence
indicates that this substance increases energy , alleviates anxiety,
sleeplessness, moodiness, memory loss, and bolsters the immune system.
Research at Valhalla, New York, have found
that royal jelly contains a complex compound that stimulates glands and
normalizes the reproductive systems of both men and women and acts as a
natural hormone. Other studies have shown that chickens , pigs , roosters
grew larger, lived longer, and showed greater fertility and became more
Sexually active after being fed royal jelly.
Royal Jelly is also rich in nucleic acids ,
RNA and DNA. Gelatin , another significant component, is one of the
precursors of collagen, which is one of the precursors of collagen, which
is another component of royal jelly. Collagen is an anti-aging
element that keeps the skin looking smooth and youthful. |
