Health Benefits of Royal Jelly

A royal greeting to you on such a majestic day. Indeed! Pour yourself a mugful of royally delicious coffee and glance magnanimously over the myriad of virtual treats splendidly displayed for your choosing. Say... have you ever tried 'royal jelly'? I've always liked honey (as in peanut butter and honey sandwich, eh!) but never RJ. Apparently it is really good for you.

Royal jelly is a secretion from honey bees that is used to deliver nutrition to larvae and adult queen bees. Research has found that royal jelly carries quite a few health benefits for humans.

Graves Disease
Royal jelly is believed to be potentially beneficial to patients with Graves' disease.

Brain Health
One study found that royal jelly has the ability to stimulate the growth of neural stem cells and glial cells in the brain, which may mean that it can help prevent diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Cholesterol
Studies have found that royal jelly has the ability to lower total serum cholesterol levels in people with moderately elevated cholesterol levels.

Anti-Aging
It is believed to have anti-aging properties, improving collagen production in skin and overall youthfulness.

Anti-Inflammatory
It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties when ingested and when applied topically.

Wound Healing
Research has found that royal jelly has wound healing properties when applied topically to the skin.

Antibiotic
Royal jelly contains an antibiotic called 10-Hydroxy-Dgr2-decenoic acid that is effective against many bacteria.


Cancer Research in Japan suggests that royal jelly has strong anti-cancer properties. Croatian researchers found that royal jelly injected into mice at the same time that they were injected with cancer cells significantly reduced the spread of cancer.

Fertility
Royal jelly is believed to aid in fertility by improving the quality of a woman's eggs and promoting overall youthfulness of her reproductive organs and body.

PMS
Many women find that royal jelly relieves many of the symptoms of PMS.

If you happen to be allergic to bees or honey, avoid royal jelly. Otherwise, get yourself some. I look forward to seeing a healthier and younger you tomorrow!

See ya, eh!
