WHAT IS ROYAL JELLY?

The royal jelly is a substance secreted by bees to nourish the queen bee throughout her life, whereas other bees only receive it for the first three days after birth. While bees have a life expectancy of 45 days, that of the queen bee climbs to 4-5 years, i.e. 40 times longer. This longevity suggests that royal jelly has special health properties.

WHEN AND HOW TO TAKE A ROYAL JELLY CURE?

Royal jelly is best used at the beginning and end of winter, to boost your immune system and give you a boost when you're feeling tired or stressed.

Royal jelly is most often available neat in glass jars, ampoules or capsules.

Avoid multi-ingredient products and opt for 100% royal jelly, preferably organic, with guaranteed bee feed.

If you don't like the taste, a mixture of acidity and bitterness, you can mix your royal jelly with yoghurt or fruit juice.

Ideally, royal jelly should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach before breakfast, over a period of 1 to 3 months, at a dose of 1g per day.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ROYAL JELLY?

Royal jelly has many positive effects on our health, as it is a source of minerals such as zinc, magnesium, silicon, iron, calcium and potassium.

It also contains all the B vitamins and antioxidants.

So, for example, thanks to the magnesium and vitamins B3 and B5 it contains, royal jelly helps us cope better with stress, plays a part in our good mood and improves our sleep.

Thanks to this excellent nutritional cocktail, royal jelly is also the bête noire of viruses, as these nutrients act synergistically to boost our immune defenses and help our bodies fight off the virus.

It is also an asset for countering physical fatigue and stimulating our little grey cells.

This substance is also reputed to delay the effects of ageing, helping to preserve the youthfulness of skin, hair and nails.

It is also said to reduce menopausal symptoms.

WHY USE IT?

Royal jelly can be consumed by almost everyone. Elderly people in particular will find it an excellent stimulant of cognitive capacity and energy.
