What Is Royal Jelly?

Royal jelly is a 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 throughout her development and adult life.

Royal jelly is a creamy white substance with a slightly acidic taste. It is composed of water (approximately 60 to 70%), proteins (approximately 12 to 15%), sugars (approximately 10 to 16%), fats (approximately 3 to 6%), and trace amounts of vitamins and minerals. Its composition is complex and not fully characterized.

Royal jelly is classified as a bee product. People with allergies to bee products (including honey and royal jelly), or with a history of allergies, asthma, atopy, or dermatitis, must not use this product. See the full safety information below.

Active Compounds in Royal Jelly

10-HDA (10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid): A medium-chain fatty acid found almost exclusively in royal jelly. It is not found in significant amounts in honey, propolis, or other bee products. Because of its uniqueness to royal jelly, 10-HDA is used as a quality and authenticity marker: the 10-HDA content of a royal jelly product is used to verify that the product contains genuine royal jelly and to assess its potency. Higher 10-HDA content generally indicates higher quality royal jelly. 10-HDA is present in this formula as a natural constituent of the Royal Jelly 1,000mg dose.

Royalactin: A protein unique to royal jelly, first identified in 2011. Royalactin is the protein responsible for triggering queen bee development in bee larvae. When bee larvae are fed royalactin, it activates a growth signaling pathway that causes them to develop into queen bees rather than worker bees. Royalactin belongs to the Major Royal Jelly Protein (MRJP) family, a group of proteins that make up the majority of the protein content of royal jelly. There are nine known MRJPs (MRJP1 through MRJP9), with MRJP1 (also called royalactin or apalbumin 1) being the most abundant.

Amino acids: Royal jelly contains all essential amino acids (the amino acids the human body cannot make on its own and must obtain from food or supplements). The most abundant free amino acids in royal jelly include proline (which makes up a large proportion of the free amino acid content), lysine, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are involved in virtually every process in the body.

Peptides: In addition to whole proteins like the MRJPs, royal jelly contains smaller protein fragments called peptides. These include jelleines (short antimicrobial peptides unique to royal jelly) and royalisin (also called defensin-1, an antimicrobial peptide). Peptides are chains of amino acids shorter than full proteins. The peptide content of royal jelly is an active area of research.

Fatty acids: Royal jelly contains a distinctive profile of fatty acids, most of which are medium-chain hydroxy fatty acids not commonly found in other foods. The most notable is 10-HDA (described above). Other fatty acids in royal jelly include sebacic acid (decanedioic acid), 2-decenedioic acid, and various other hydroxy and dicarboxylic fatty acids. These unusual fatty acids are largely responsible for the distinctive chemical profile of royal jelly and contribute to its identity as a unique bee product.

Understanding the Dose

The recommended dose for this formula is 2 softgels, 1 to 3 times per day. The dose frequency affects how long one bottle lasts.

At 2 softgels once per day: 60 softgels = 30 day supply (1 month).
At 2 softgels twice per day: 60 softgels = 15 day supply.
At 2 softgels three times per day: 60 softgels = 10 day supply.

Consult a health care practitioner to determine the appropriate dose frequency for your needs.
