| Worker
bees make Royal Jelly to feed the queen bee. This milky white gelatinous
substance is secreted by baby bees 5 to 15 days old to assure the
growth and development of queen bees. All larvae are fed small amount of Royal
Jelly mixed with generous amounts of honey for their first three days. On the
fourth day, the quantity and quality of the food for the general population is
dramatically reduced, and worker bees develop from this new diet. One baby bee
is fed a continuous diet of rich Royal Jelly to become a Queen bee. Queen bees
can live up to 6 years and lay around 2,000 eggs per day. By contrast the
worker bee lives for about 6 weeks. The astonishing longevity, fertility, and
endurance of the Queen bee is entirely due to her exclusive diet of
nutrient-rich Royal Jelly |
| Royal
Jelly is a nutritious food that is taken by an increasing number of people as
an alternative nutritional supplement. High in certain fatty acids, simple
carbohydrates, and pantothenic acid, it also contains other B vitamins,
essential amino acids, and more than 12 important minerals including iron,
calcium, silicon, sulfur, and potassium. Royal Jelly also contains about 36% of
proteins and other important elements including the building blocks of collagen and
lecithin. |
Although unsubstantiated, Royal Jelly is used to support weight
loss, as it is an energizing nutrient, with a very high nutritional value per
calorie. Additionally, it is used to treat fatigue, insomnia, digestive
disorders, ulcers, and cardiovascular conditions.*
Royal Jelly has
been shown to help lower blood cholesterol levels. 50-100 mg. per day has been
used in most of the studies on cholesterol lowering. It has been demonstrated
as an antibacterial agent in test tube studies. Other preliminary evidence
suggests it may promote wound healing and strengthen the immune
system. |
Sweet
Thing Honey Plantation Royal Jelly contains no artificial additives,
sweeteners, colorings, or flavors and must be kept refrigerated. We do not
offer freeze-dried Royal Jelly. Henry believes that removing all of the
moisture may destroy some of the most important properties. Our 2 oz. jar
is the most potent form of fresh non-freeze dried Royal
Jelly and is refridgerated to ensure maximum potency and
freshness.
Upon request, we will
custom blend any of our great honeys(16oz.) with 30,000 mg. Royal Jelly
(800 mg. Royal Jelly per teaspoon). We have seen the claims that Royal Jelly
does not need refrigeration when blended with honey. WE DO NOT AGREE. We
recommend refrigeration for any Royal Jelly product. |
Caution: Bee products may cause allergic reactions in some
people. Even those people without previously known allergies need to be aware
of the signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction, and what to do if one
occurs. Allergies can develop in anyone. Symptoms can begin within a few
minutes to several hours after ingesting the product. The typical reaction is
runny nose, itching and puffy eyes, skin reactions of rash or hives, wheezing,
and shortness of breath. First time reactions can be frightening and immediate
medical attention is required. Panic can make things worse. Known asthmatics
should take their Rescue Medication and seek medical attention immediately.
Individuals who have allergies to bee venom may be sensitive to an array of
related substances, including royal jelly. We recommend against taking this if
you suffer from asthma or anaphylaxis.
If you have any concerns about taking
bee related product, we recommend you consult with your healthcare
provider. |
