Royal jelly is another product made by bees. The worker bees produce this gelatinous substance for their queen bee and her young ones. Initially, all the larvae are fed this magical substance irrespective of what bee they are going to become, however, after 3 days, only the queen bee is fed this highly nutritious substance till she is fully developed.
The reason this royal jelly is exclusively reserved for the queen bee is for her to reproduce. The cells of the queen bee are stocked with this jelly and she grows to be double the weight of a worker bee. A well-matured queen bee can lay up to 2000 eggs in a single day during her peak season. This fertility of the queen bee is due to well-developed ovaries that are fed with royal jelly.
Though there is not much research to back many health benefits claims for the use of this product in humans, it has been long in use, in traditional medicine. Western medicine is, however, yet to accept all the beneficial claims.
Some of the benefits with regard to humans are:
Royal jelly comprises carbs, protein, fat, and a majority of the water. The composition of these ingredients changes from source to source. However, humans are believed to benefit health-wise from its consumption.
There are no human studies to back this claim. However, it has been tested on animals, and it has been substantiated that the various acids produced by it have antioxidant effects. It has also shown that the immune cells exposed to royal jelly, produced lesser pro-inflammatory chemicals. As a result, even the blood pressure and sugar levels in the blood were seen to reduce.
A study shows consuming 3 grams of royal jelly per day can reduce the LDL levels in humans. However, more research is required to understand the reason behind this decrease.

This product help with fertility in the following ways:
A study conducted in Japan showed that this product could mimic the human Estrogen – an essential hormone that helps in regulating the female menstrual cycle. Estrogens are also highly important during pregnancy, to ensure a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby.
The same study also showed that the uterine cells of the rats under observation increased in size. It is thus believed, a similar effect can be caused by the jelly, by human uterine cells. The study proposes that the damage caused to human uterine walls due to the long-term use of birth control can be improved with its use
Another study conducted on rats in Iran showed that continued usage of this jelly speeds up the maturing of the ovary’s follicles.
Chemotherapy has a number of lasting side effects on the patients. One of these damaging side effects is the damage to the fertility of the person. It is believed to help protect the woman’s eggs from damages caused by chemotherapy.
Wondering how one gets hold of this wonder drug? It is available in a liquid state as well as in capsules. The capsule form should be consumed under doctors’ supervision.
If you have any allergies to bee products, you might want to avoid consuming this product, no matter how tempting it sounds. If you or your family members have any bee allergy, you must first ensure you are not allergic as well and only then consume it.
Just like any other fertility drug, the royal jelly price is on the higher side. However, there are many brands selling it in the form of capsules and powder. There are many varieties in them too, with added ingredients. Do take a look at what is available, consult your doctor, and then consume it.
Though there are many uses, more research is required in this field. It is yet to determine how exactly and to what extent humans can benefit from its usage or consumption. This is the reason why breastfeeding mothers or pregnant women are asked to refrain from the jelly. One can’t ignore the possibility of complications.
