Royal jelly is a nutrient produced by the Honey Bee. It is rich in proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins A, C, D, E and the B group. It also contains 18 amino acids, 18 enzymes, minerals, acetylcholine and 10 Hydroxy Decenoic Acid.

The health benefits of royal jelly are diverse, from immunity boosting to hormonal balance and skin health.

Touted as “the fountain of youth and beauty,” it's a good source of  vitamin B5 and other B vitamins, biotin, inositol, folate, nucleic acids, gamma globulin and 17 different amino acids, including the eight essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce. RJ also contains potassium, magnesium, calcium, copper, sulfur, zinc, iron and manganese.

According to studies, it contains about 60 percent to 70 percent water, 12 percent to 15 percent proteins, 10 percent to 16 percent sugar, 3 percent to 6 percent fats, and 2 percent to 3 percent vitamins, salts and amino acids. Its composition varies depending on geography and climate.

Honeybee (Apis mellifera) RJ has a long history in human medicine because of its health-protecting properties. The lipids (fat) it contains are composed of mostly (aliphatic) fatty acids, almost all of which are present as free fatty acids.

Most fatty acids in RJ are medium-chain fatty acids. There's some evidence that these lipids are useful as preventive and supportive medicines with functionalities that include potential inhibitors of cancer growth, immune system modulators, alternative therapies for menopause, skin-aging protectors and more.

Just like honey, RJ originates from beehives — however, bees produce these substances for very different reasons.

While honey provides energy for the worker bees, RJ acts as the main source of food for the colony’s queen.
