Royal Jelly The Full Secret

Royal Jelly or dairy queen is a special food for the queen bee. Unlike the three other bee products ie honey, propolis and pollen, Royal Jelly is not a product of plants collected and modified by the bees. Royal Jelly is produced exclusively by nurse worker bees from the pollen and nectar that is inhaled, and then secreted from special gandula bee head.

Inside the hive Royal Jelly is used to provide food to all the larvae that exist in the bee for three days only, then only the larvae that will be a queen who continues to be fed Royal Jelly all her life. Because of these different foods (queen bees eat Royal Jelly, while others eat honey and pollen), the old queen bee is very long compared to the bees in general. If the more usual age range is only 7 to 8 weeks, the queen bee age ranged from 5 to 7 years (35-50 times longer than the age of ordinary bees.)

With different consumption queen bee has a size much larger than ordinary bees (40% larger) and more severe (60% heavier). Another Greatness of God's creation in the form of the queen bee is in terms of reproduction, although queens mate only once in his life - queen bee can lay eggs in excess of body weight every day - Subhannallah.

In all such greatness, science has not fully reveal what really is contained in Royal Jelly this. What is revealed is the general content such as water content around 60% -70%, protein 13%, carbohydrate 15%, 5% fat and other organic substances is about 1%. What also is known is Royal Jelly contains all the essential amino acids and non essential, carbohydrates in the form of fructose and glucose, fat is composed of fatty acids and saturated and unsaturated phospholipids. Vitamins are contained in it are all kinds of vitamin B, vitamin A, C, D, E and K.

Other components that have been detected include collagen is a protein that is essential for the health and growth of tissue, skin, hair, nails, bones, muscles and reinforcing walls and channels in our body. Enzymes contained therein include the enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase. Existing nucleid acid includes DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).

In addition to these substances were also detected in the presence of gamma globulins Royal Jelly is very important for immunization, and methyl p-hydroxybenzoat (methyl paraben) for anti-oxidant.

As the old queen food very, very long compared with ordinary bee, then, of course, Royal Jelly has various benefits of treatment include:

• Treating the infection in the stomach, varicose, dyspepsia, impotence, fatigue, anorexia, impotence, infertility, viral and bacterial infections. Scientific research on this subject have been conducted in China, Russia and the countries of the former eastern bloc.
• Increase the body's immunity as evidenced from studies in Sarajevo when the epidemic. Patients who were given royal jelly only 9% who contract the disease while the patient is not given its Royal Jelly 40% infected.
• Research in Japan in 2001 proves that the Royal Jelly effective to treat fatique and stress.
• Royal Jelly lower cholesterol and triglyceride as shown in the results of research in China in 1995. The research proved to Royal Jelly lowering LDL is the bad cholesterol and raise HDL is good cholesterol.
• Royal Jelly ability to lower blood pressure also proven through research in Japan in 2004.
• Vitamin A, C and E that is in the Royal Jelly work synergistically with carotenoids prevent skin damage due to chemicals or the sun and also further reduce the risk of skin cancer.
• Many existing nutrients in Royal Jelly, antimicrobial proteins, various enzymes and gamma globulin to work together to prevent infection and stimulate the body's immunity.
• HDA and short chain saturated fatty acids contained in Royal Jelly function similar to detergents which destroy the cell membranes of bacteria, fungi and viruses. HDA also serves to prevent atheroclerosis.
• Several B vitamins are contained in Royal Jelly is rich in hormones, phytosterols and phospholipids lowered cholesterol and this makes people 'ageless'.

Royal Jelly is very easily damaged, and therefore should always be stored in a frozen state. Another way to preserve Royal Jelly is to mix it into honey.

The Benefits of Royal Jelly

Royal Jelly is high in essential nutrients and is taken widely to promote energy and boost the immune system.

The medical community man has shown much interest in this royal jelly, regarding it as the ‘elixir’ or ‘crown jewel’ of the beehive. Various studies have been performed to try to establish its nutritional content and the effect of its nutrients on man.

Despite these extensive studies, certain aspects of the actual chemical make-up of royal jelly remain something of a mystery. It is associated with benefits to bronchial asthma, insomnia, and many skin problems. It is known to support the immune system and may be of benefit in liver, kidney, and pancreatic diseases as well as stomach ulcers and bone fractures. But it doesn't end there. With it's high amino acid content, it may have benefit to a very wide range of health conditions as an amino acid supplement.

The amino acids in royal jelly are of significant interest to nutritionists. Long associated with the ability to fight ‘free-radicals’ in the body, amino acids form the basis of our chemical make-up, and are essential to growth and the ability to fight infection and disease. In most cases we cannot create our own amino acid, so we must ingest them through the foods that we eat. Royal Jelly also contains the amino and gamma globulin, which helps your immune system fight off viral infections. It also contains sterols, phosphorous compounds and acetylcholine, which is needed to transmit nerve messages from cell to cell.

Chemical composition of Royal Jelly - contains approximately 12% protein, 5-6% lipids and 12-15% carbohydrates. It’s B Vitamin content is high, and with 17 amino acids, including all 8 essential amino acids, it is a nutritious hormone-rich substance with a wide spectrum of potential benefits. Royal Jelly also contains around 15% aspartic acid, which is important for tissue growth, muscle and cell regeneration.


Vitamin Content

Vitamin B I (Thiamine) .................... 1.5 to 7.4 mcg.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) .................... 5.3 to 10.0 mcg.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) .................. 2.2 to 10.2 mcg.
Niacin (nicotinic acid) .......................91.0 to 149.0 mcg.
Pantothenic Acid ..............................65.0 to 200.0 mcg.
Biotin .............................................. 0.9 to 3.7 mcg.
Inositol .............................................78.0 to 150.0 mcg.
Folic Acid ........................................ 0.16 to 0.50mcg.
Vitamin C .......Trace


Also of significance, Royal Jelly has been found to be of great help in boosting the body’s resistance to the harmful side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. These treatments attack the immune system at its very core, and in many cases the actual treatment delivers a debilitating blow and not the illness itself. Royal Jelly with its high amino acid content can help the immune system and provide a basic defense against external elements that ordinarily attack the immune system and reduce our body’s capability for defense. Supplementing our diet with Royal Jelly helps to rebuild the good cells that are destroyed by chemotherapy and helps to strengthen the immune system.

How is Royal Jelly Processed for Human Consumption? – it is a liquid containing approximately 67% water, and as such is prone to contamination once it is removed from the sterile environment of the beehive, so once removed from the hive it must be processed quickly to prevent contamination, ideally within two or three hours. It can generally be processed in one or a combination of the following steps:

* Treating the product with a chemical preservative.
* Lyophilizing the product (removing the water, often termed freeze-drying)
* Adding a natural preservative like honey.
* Freezing the substance or attempting to maintain it in a refrigerated state.

The favored process is lyophilizing or freeze-drying [freeze dried royal jelly - the most common form]. This removes the water without effecting the nutrient quality of the product and creates a white powder which can be capsulated for human consumption. Once it has been capsulated, the product generally has a shelf life of 4 years and does not require refrigeration.

Many questions are raised about the nutritional quality of Royal Jelly, and usually relate to the issue of processing:- "freeze-dried versus non-freeze dried".

Freeze drying ‘locks-in’ the nutritional content of the product and removes any doubts about handling the product down the line. For example, if you choose liquid royal jelly which is sold as ‘requiring refrigeration’, how do you know that the product has been stored and transported in a refrigerated state, and that it isn’t in a partially decomposed state with diminished nutritive properties?(beehivestore.com)
