Because it is nutrient dense, it is reserved by the bees only for their queens. The entire hive is dependent upon the queen; she lays up to 2,000 eggs daily, a monumental task for such a tiny creature. Thus, she must receive intensive nutritional support: amino acids, fatty acids, steroids, hormones, vitamins, and minerals, all of which are provided by royal jelly. This means the queen lives over
35 times longer than her workers. Both the queen and the workers, which are also females, begin as identical bee eggs. It is royal jelly alone which makes the difference. It induces a metamorphosis. What’s more, it is exclusively royal jelly that is responsible for the queen’s unique physiology, long life, physical power, and immense fertility.
“It seems incredible that this nutritionally rich substance can actually convert a simple worker bee into a queen. Obviously, it is a magic elixir. No other substance is capable of such a phenomenal biological transformation.
“For humans, taking royal jelly is a positive experience. If you take it regularly, expect to be transformed.”
“The apparently mysterious actions of royal jelly are readily explained by its ingredients. For instance, it is one of the few hormone-rich foods. The hormones it contains are completely safe to ingest. Hormones are known to exert profound actions on human cells. It is listed as the richest source of certain vitamins, notably pantothenic acid, riboflavin, and biotin. It is an excellent source of amino acids, far superior to milk or eggs. Royal jelly is the only significant source of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter. Acetylcholine is needed for the transmission of nerve impulses through-out the brain and spinal cord. It contains other rare substances, like immunoglobulins, which are found in no other foods. A rare type of structural protein, a collagen-like substance, is also found in it. The latter is thought to account for its beautifying powers. The fact is no other substances matches its density of cellular and body-building components. This is why it can prove valuable for virtually everyone, because there is no such thing as perfect health. A universal tonic, like royal jelly, is likely to produce universal results, that is – health improvement in virtually everyone who tries it.
“Royal jelly is the broad-spectrum tonic that everyone desires. It is the only tonic proven by scientific studies to rejuvenate the body naturally and safely: hormones, neurotransmitters, enzymes, amino acids, immunoglobulins, hydroxy acids, collagen precursors, B vitamins, fat soluble vitamins, and minerals.
“Recently, growth hormone has been touted as a longevity tonic, but it has never been proven safe. Royal jelly is the 100% safe source of natural, rejuvenating hormones. It contains all of the components the human body needs to rebuild, regenerate, and survive. That is why it is perhaps the most vital and valuable substance known.”
“… DNA and RNA are required for cellular repair and may largely account for royal jelly’s anti-aging action. Yet, royal jelly does more: it stimulates the body to produce its own genetic material. French researchers have proven that royal jelly induces the intracellular synthesis of DNA. This compound in the very basis of life. This explains why researchers worldwide claim that when all other therapies fail, royal jelly revives the body.”
“The fact that royal jelly is predigested explains why it is such a rich source of enzymes. The enzymes are secreted into the royal jelly by the bees. This is also why sublingual [under the tongue] dosing is so therapeutic, because royal jelly may be immediately utilized by the body, and sublingual dosing gets this medicine right where it is needed: into the blood.”
“Royal jelly is the most nutrient dense of all foods. It contains all the known B vitamins. Pantothenic acid, the anti-stress vitamin, is found in an ultra dense supply. By weight, royal jelly is approximately 13% protein, which makes it richer in this critical nutrient than virtually any known substance. It contains a large percentage of essential fatty acids, as much as 7%. Much of this fat content is in the form of lipids, including phospholipids and steroids. The phospholipids are essential for nerve cell regeneration. They are also used for brain cell formation. Steroids are cholesterol-like compounds with significant hormonal actions. The steroid hormones exert potent control over cellular activities. They help initiate important biological reactions. In addition, royal jelly is particularly rich in its own unique fatty acid, that is the hydroxy acid known as 10-hydroxy decanoic acid (10-HDA). This is a monounsaturated fat similar to the type found in extra virgin olive oil. However, 10-HDA is a potent substance. It exerts a dramatic effect upon cell function. This fatty acid acts as a pre-hormone, feeding the glands so that they can make hormones on demand. 10-HDA also provides nourishment for the skin. In fact, this is a hydroxy acid which improves the texture of the skin. Hydroxy acids help certain skin cells retain moisture. They also act as natural antiseptics, protecting the skin from germ attack. Plus, they aid in healing infected skin. Thus, royal jelly, with its high content of hydroxy acids, has been reported to aid in the healing of eczema, psoriasis, chronic dermatitis, and other skin disorders.”
“ … royal jelly is exceptionally rich in a group of fats called phospholipids, the most well known
of which is lecithin. Royal jelly is richer in lecithin than any other food. Inositol and choline, two components of lecithin which have B vitamin actions, are found in royal jelly in large amounts.”
“Perhaps most impressive is the fact that royal jelly is a rich source of naturally-occurring
steroids. This is what largely accounts for its creamy texture. It contains over 50 of them, including testosterone and estrogen. Estradiol is the specific type of estrogen found in royal jelly, a highly bioavailable, that is usable, form. The types of estrogen and testosterone in royal jelly are non-toxic. In fact, these natural steroids enhance male or female organ functions. The steroids in royal jelly are safe for any ailment. Thus, royal jelly is the ideal tonic for reversing hormonal disorders. A variety of conditions related to the hormone system, such as ovarian cysts, uterine spasms, fibroid tumors, PMS, menopausal syndrome, infertility, endometriosis, recurrent miscarriages, preeclampsia, impotence, adrenal insufficiency, and low libido, respond to royal jelly administration.”
“A partial list of some of the key substances found in royal jelly includes:
amino acids (some 20 total)
vitamins (A, B-complex, C, D and E)
minerals (including zinc)
hydroxy acids
phospholipids (lecithin, etc.) neurotransmitters (acetylcholine)
collagen precursors
genetic material (DNA/RNA)
immune globulins (gamma globulin)
albumin
enzymes
s*x hormones
adrenal steroids
celluar catalysts
“This is the most impressive array of biological chemicals in a single food known. These are the very substances from which cells are made and with which life proceeds.”
“Royal jelly is a food, and it has a safety profile similar to other natural foods. It is completely edible and is safe for all ages, including babies.”
