The name royal jelly has to do with the fact that the larvae intended
for queens feed exclusively on this food which contains the
determining factor that transforms the larva from a worker to a
queen. The queen been which feeds on royal jelly for the duration
of her life, lays 2.5 times its weight in eggs at the time of maximum
growth of the swarm. She also lives up to seven years, unlike
workers who live from 28 days to four months.
Anyone who feels down and weak without an age limit needs royal jelly.
Effects On The Human Body
It is a rich source of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It also
contains various fatty acids, such as hydroxy, fatty acids,
dicarboxylic acids, etc., which are responsible for most of the
biological properties of royal jelly, better known as 10-hydroxy-
decenoic acid. However, a 4% of its composition remained
unknown and a three-year research of the Athens School of
Pharmacy identified in the Greek royal jelly substances that are first
discovered in any natural product. It is therefore a biologically active
substance with multiple pharmacological properties, around which,
as expected, several myths have been woven.
Without being a magic elixir, royal jelly is not a simple vitamin
supplement, however. For the modern man who deals with a lot and
is overwhelmed by stress, while at the same time the quality of his
diet and environment are degraded, royal jelly has spectacular
effects on the defense (immune system) of his body, his mental and
physical well-being and in libido. Recent research has shown that it
holds anti-influenza and even anti-cancer properties. It also helps to
increase the physical, sexual and mental condition of man and from
recent research has shown to have anti-influenza to anti-cancer
properties in the vascular, circulatory, genetic-urinary, nervous and
dermatological systems.
