Nutritional Studies
It is not a secret that fresh royal jelly is a rich source of nutrients. It contains 12-13% protein, 12-15% carbohydrates, 5-6% beneficial lipids, including important fatty acids, and contains a full spectrum of vitamins. Royal jelly is high in the B vitamin pantothenic acid, which has been shown to reduce stress levels. It supplies the minerals calcium, copper, iron, phosphorous, potassium, silicon, and sulfur. Royal jelly also contains sterols, phosphorous compounds, acetylcholine, estrogen, testastarone, progesterone, 17 amino acids, including the 8 essential amino acids and is particularly rich in cystine, lysine and arginine.

Therapudic Studies & Claims
James F. Balch, M.D. and Phyllis A. Balch in their book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, write: "Royal jelly is known to aid in liver disease, pancreatitis, insomnia, stomach ulcers, kidney disease, bone fractures, skin disorders, and as a potentiator for the immune system." Royal jelly has been shown to contain antiseptic, antiviral, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Studies report that royal jelly fortifies centers of the hypothalamus and normalizes metabolic process and improves the base metabolism. Many other reports indicate that royal jelly strengthens the immune system, increases resistance to fatigue and cold temperatures, elevates content of hemoglobin in the blood and stimulates blood circulation. "All the water-soluble vitamins of the B group are found together in royal jelly," writes Dr. A. Saenz of the Pasteur Institute in Paris in a report, "Biology, Biochemistry and the Therapeutic Effects of Royal Jelly." The Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fish and Food of Argentina reports that royal jelly aides in the proper transmission of nerve impulses and the proper functioning of the endocrine system. After years of specific research in the field of athletic performance, a team of Italian experts have combined a series of highly invigorating and non-doping natural substances (including royal jelly) to enhance the performance of athletes. "These substances are an authentic ecological "fuel" for athletes, preventing them from suffering from psychological and physical stress or depleting their reserves of energy."

Cancer Studies
Rich in amino acids, royalisin is primarily effective against "Gram-positive" bacteria, which include staph and strep species (Fujiwara S, Journal of Biological Chemistry, July 5,1990;265:11333-7). Like propolis, royal jelly also appears to have anti-tumor properties. Another team of Japanese researchers gave fresh royal jelly to one of two groups of laboratory mice before transplanting different types of cancer cells in them. The royal jelly had no effect on the leukemia cells, but it had dramatic effects on sarcoma cells. The lifespan of the mice was extended by about one-fifth and tumor sizes were about half the size, compared with untreated mice.

Quality Measured
A fatty acid called 10-HDA, has been identified to establish a universal standard for the quality of fresh royal jelly. In nature, this fatty acid occurs at a percentage of between 1.5% and 2.2%. Royal jelly that has a 10-HDA percentage of this range is considered good to excellent quality. Any reputable producer or distributor of royal jelly should be able to provide a Certificate of Analysis from an independent laboratory to verify the content. All of our royal jelly meet this high standard for quality control so you can be assured you are getting the purest royal jelly possible.

Royal Jelly Storing and Care
Pure liquid fresh royal jelly needs to be kept refrigerated or frozen. If it is not to be consumed within 3 months it should be kept frozen. Lyophilized royal jelly (dehydrated by cold process) is not nearly as sensitive to temperatures and can be kept at room temperature for up to 6 months, excluding locations of direct sunlight or high heat. If it is to be kept for more than 6 months it should be kept refrigerated or frozen.
