You’ve probably heard plenty about royal jelly, but what is this gelatinous substance made of, and what does it do?
Royal jelly is a milky secretion produced by worker honey bees. When bees need a new queen, they will feed a large amount of royal jelly to larvae in specially constructed queen cells. This triggers the development and nurturing of a queen bee.
As the larvae would have developed into a normal worker bee without this special nutrient, royal jelly enjoys high prestige as a health food.
Royal jelly is about 60% to 70% water, 12% to 15% proteins, 10% to 16% sugar, 3% to 6% fats, and 2% to 3% vitamins, salts, and amino acids.
Royal jelly is known to have a few health benefits for its users:
Royal jelly has a mix of fatty acids and unique proteins. They include 9 glycoproteins known as major royal jelly proteins (MRJPs), fatty acids, and vitamins like niacin and biotin.
Studies have shown that royal jelly can reduce stress levels and improve the central nervous system, memory, and reduce depression symptoms.
