Royal Jelly, the premier food

Royal Jelly by Ray Sahelian, M.D. Health benefits of Royal Jelly supplements

Royal jelly, which is secreted from the salivary glands of worker bees, serves as food for all young larvae and as the only food for larvae that will develop into queen bees. Royal jelly contains a mix of vitamins, minerals, proteins and fatty acids., along with acid glycosides and sterols, such as stigmasterol. Half of the dry weight of royal jelly is made of protein. Some of the fatty acids in royal jelly include 10-hydroxy-2-decanoic acid (10-HDA) and 3,10-dihydroxy-decanoic acid (3,10-DDA).
Studies in rodents indicate royal jelly has anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties. See also bee pollen and propolis.
Royal Jelly is a milk like secretion made by worker bees in the hive. It is so named because it serves as the sole food for the queen bee. It supplies all the B-vitamins, vitamins A, C, D, E & K, more than a dozen key minerals. 18 amino acids, and other important constituents, including nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Tweet
