Bee Pollen Royal Jelly
bee pollen royal jellyBees are best known for their honey, but bee pollen royal jelly is another important product they produce. Bee pollen royal jelly is a secretion that is produced by young nurse bees and fed to both bee larvae and queen bees, the two most integral parts of a bee hive. In fact, a queen bee is created from a regular larva by feeding it excessive amounts of royal jelly, helping the new queen develop properly.
While the worker bees live less than two months, the queen bee can live for over five years. What is the difference between them? They come from the same larvae, and all larvae are fed royal jelly, but when a hive needs a new queen, the chosen larva is fed royal jelly well past maturation. In fact, a queen bee eats nothing but royal jelly for her entire life. The queen bee lives longer and is more fertile and productive because of the powerfully nutritious royal jelly that makes up her diet.
Luckily, royal jelly’s amazing rewards are beneficial to humans, as well. With its high percentage of proteins, minerals, hormones, lipids, vitamins, and enzymes, royal jelly has been found to help humans stay feeling young and energetic by contributing to the regeneration of cells in the human body. Both inside and out, bee pollen royal jelly’s ability to encourage cell regeneration improves the health and vitality of the body. Smoother skin, less wrinkles and a more effectively functioning body are all known effects of using royal jelly.
Bee pollen royal jelly as a medicinal product is growing in popularity. Because of the potent antibacterial protein discovered in bee pollen royal jelly, it is effectively used to treat the bacteria that cause both staph infections and strep throat. It has also been used to treat tumors, with studies on mice showing it can decrease the size of tumors by 50%. Royal jelly also has anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, healing and cholesterol-lowering properties. These results are just the beginning as scientists continue to study the benefits of royal jelly and the positive effects it could have on human health.
Tablets, capsules and chewable forms of bee pollen royal jelly are available for human consumption. It also comes in its natural, milky form and must be frozen or refrigerated. Other ways to use it are to either buy in honey or freeze-dried (both methods of preserving its nutritious properties) or to buy beauty products such as facial and hand creams that use it as an ingredient. Regardless of how it is applied, royal jelly’s anti-aging properties will help any user feel and look younger.
