Royal Jelly 1,000mg | Antioxidant | 120 Softgels | Made in Canada

Royal jelly 1,000 mg per dose (2 softgels) the secretion produced exclusively by worker honeybees (Apis mellifera) and the sole food of the queen bee throughout her life. An antioxidant for the maintenance of good health.

What Is Royal Jelly?

Royal jelly is a creamy white secretion produced by the hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of worker honeybees. It is the exclusive food of the queen bee throughout her life and is fed to all bee larvae for the first three days after hatching. The queen bee is genetically identical to worker bees but develops differently because she is fed royal jelly exclusively a well studied example of nutritional epigenetic programming in insects.

Royal jelly is composed of approximately 60โ€“70% water, 12โ€“15% proteins, 10โ€“16% sugars, 3โ€“6% fats, and trace amounts of vitamins and minerals. Its composition is complex and not fully characterized. The primary quality and authenticity marker is 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) a medium-chain fatty acid found almost exclusively in royal jelly and not present in significant amounts in honey, propolis, or other bee products.

Key Compounds

10-HDA (10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid)
The primary fatty acid unique to royal jelly and the internationally recognized quality and authenticity marker. Higher 10-HDA content indicates higher quality royal jelly. Present as a natural constituent of the 1,000 mg royal jelly dose.

Major Royal Jelly Proteins (MRJPs)
A family of nine proteins (MRJP1โ€“MRJP9) that make up the majority of the protein content of royal jelly. MRJP1 (royalactin/apalbumin 1) is the most abundant and is the protein responsible for triggering queen bee development in bee larvae.

Amino Acids
Royal jelly contains all essential amino acids. The most abundant free amino acid is proline, which makes up a large proportion of the free amino acid content.

Antimicrobial Peptides
Royal jelly contains peptides unique to royal jelly, including jelleines and royalisin (defensin-1) short protein fragments distinct from the full MRJP proteins.

Clinical Research

Antioxidant activity of royal jelly: characterization of 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid and major royal jelly proteins as primary antioxidant constituents

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2009

This study characterized the antioxidant activity of royal jelly (Apis mellifera, Secretion) with particular focus on the primary bioactive constituents responsible for its antioxidant properties. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) the medium chain fatty acid unique to royal jelly and used as its quality and authenticity marker demonstrated potent free radical scavenging activity across multiple validated antioxidant assays. The Major Royal Jelly Proteins (MRJPs), particularly MRJP1 (royalactin/apalbumin 1), were also identified as significant contributors to the total antioxidant capacity of royal jelly. The authors noted that the antioxidant activity of royal jelly is attributable to the combined action of its fatty acid fraction (primarily 10-HDA) and its protein fraction (primarily MRJPs), and that 10-HDA content is a reliable indicator of antioxidant potency across royal jelly preparations. The study concluded that royal jelly is a well characterized natural antioxidant with a complex bioactive profile

Royal jelly supplementation and markers of oxidative stress in healthy adults: a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial

Evidence Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2012

This randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial evaluated the effects of royal jelly supplementation on markers of oxidative stress in healthy adults. Participants receiving royal jelly supplementation demonstrated statistically significant reductions in markers of oxidative stress compared to placebo over the study period, including improvements in superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and reductions in malondialdehyde (MDA) a marker of lipid peroxidation. The authors attributed the observed antioxidant effects to the 10-HDA and MRJP content of the royal jelly preparation, noting that both compound classes have well-characterized free radical scavenging activity in vitro and in vivo. The study concluded that royal jelly supplementation supports antioxidant defences in healthy adults

10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid: the principal fatty acid of royal jelly biological activity, quality marker status, and antioxidant properties

Phytochemistry Reviews, 2015

This review examined the biological activity, quality marker status, and antioxidant properties of 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) the medium chain fatty acid found almost exclusively in royal jelly and not present in significant amounts in honey, propolis, or other bee products. The authors confirmed that 10-HDA is the internationally recognized quality and authenticity marker for royal jelly, with higher 10-HDA content indicating higher quality and greater potency of a royal jelly preparation. 10-HDA was found to demonstrate potent antioxidant activity through multiple mechanisms including direct free radical scavenging and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. The review also documented the antimicrobial and anti inflammatory properties of 10-HDA, noting that its unique chemical structure a medium chain hydroxy fatty acid is responsible for its distinctive biological activity profile. The authors concluded that 10-HDA is the primary bioactive marker of royal jelly quality and a significant contributor to its antioxidant activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is royal jelly and where does it come from?

Royal jelly is a creamy white secretion produced by the hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of worker honeybees (Apis mellifera). It is the exclusive food of the queen bee throughout her life and is fed to all bee larvae for the first three days after hatching. The queen bee is genetically identical to worker bees but develops differently because she is fed royal jelly exclusively a well studied example of nutritional epigenetic programming in insects. Royal jelly is composed of approximately 60โ€“70% water, 12โ€“15% proteins, 10โ€“16% sugars, 3โ€“6% fats, and trace amounts of vitamins and minerals.

What are the benefits of Royal Jelly?

Royal jelly naturally contains proteins, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and other bioactive compounds that contribute to its nutritional and antioxidant properties.

Does Royal Jelly provide antioxidant support?

Yes. Royal jelly contains naturally occurring compounds with antioxidant activity, which may help protect cells against oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

What makes Royal Jelly different from honey?

Royal jelly and honey are both bee products, but they are different substances. Honey is made from flower nectar, while royal jelly is produced by worker bees as a specialized food for the queen bee.

Why choose Royal Jelly in softgel form?

Softgels provide a convenient, pre measured way to take royal jelly without the strong taste and texture associated with fresh royal jelly

Who should avoid Royal Jelly?

People with allergies to bees, bee products, honey, pollen, or related substances should consult a healthcare professional before using royal jelly. Those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications should also seek professional advice before use.
