Royal
Jelly - benefits and information
Royal
Jelly is high in essential nutrients and is
taken widely to promote energy and boost the
immune system.
The
medical community man has shown much interest in
this royal jelly, regarding it as the
‘elixir’ or ‘crown jewel’ of the beehive.
Various studies have been performed to
try to establish its nutritional content and
the effect of its nutrients on man.
Despite
these extensive studies, certain aspects of the actual chemical
make-up of royal jelly remain something of
a mystery. It is associated with
benefits to bronchial asthma, insomnia, and
many skin problems. It is known to support
the immune system and may be of benefit in
liver, kidney, and pancreatic diseases as
well as stomach ulcers and bone fractures.
But it doesn't end there. With it's high
amino acid content, it may have benefit to a
very wide range of health conditions as an amino
acid supplement.
The
amino acids in royal jelly are of
significant interest to nutritionists.
Long associated with the ability to fight
‘free-radicals’ in the body, amino
acids form the basis of our chemical
make-up, and are essential to growth and
the ability to fight infection and
disease. In most cases we cannot create
our own amino acid, so we must ingest them
through the foods that we eat. Royal
Jelly also contains the amino and gamma
globulin, which helps your immune system
fight off viral infections. It also contains
sterols, phosphorous compounds and
acetylcholine, which is needed to transmit
nerve messages from cell to cell.
Chemical composition of Royal
Jelly - contains approximately 12% protein,
5-6% lipids and 12-15% carbohydrates. It’s
B Vitamin content is high, and with 17 amino
acids, including all 8 essential amino
acids, it is a nutritious hormone-rich
substance with a wide spectrum of potential
benefits. Royal Jelly also contains around
15% aspartic acid, which is important for
tissue growth, muscle and cell regeneration.

Also of significance, Royal Jelly has been
found to be of great help in boosting the
body’s resistance to the harmful side
effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
These treatments attack the immune system at
its very core, and in many cases the actual
treatment delivers a debilitating blow and
not the illness itself. Royal Jelly with its
high amino acid content can help the immune
system and provide a basic defense against
external elements that ordinarily attack the
immune system and reduce our body’s
capability for defense. Supplementing our
diet with Royal Jelly helps to rebuild the
good cells that are destroyed by
chemotherapy and helps to strengthen the
immune system.

How
is Royal Jelly Processed for Human
Consumption? – it
is a liquid containing approximately
67% water, and as such is prone to
contamination once it is removed from the
sterile environment of the beehive, so
once
removed from the hive it must be processed
quickly to prevent contamination, ideally
within two or three hours. It can generally
be processed in one or a combination of
the following steps:
-
Treating
the product with a chemical
preservative.
-
Lyophilizing
the product (removing the water, often
termed freeze-drying)
-
Adding
a natural preservative like honey.
-
Freezing
the substance or attempting to maintain
it in a refrigerated state.
The
favored process is lyophilizing or freeze-drying
[freeze dried royal jelly - the most common
form]. This removes the water
without effecting the nutrient quality of
the product and creates a white powder which
can be capsulated for human consumption.
Once it has been capsulated, the product
generally has a shelf life of 4 years and
does not require refrigeration.
Many
questions are raised about the nutritional
quality of Royal Jelly, and usually relate
to the issue of processing:-
"freeze-dried versus non-freeze
dried".
Freeze
drying ‘locks-in’ the nutritional
content of the product and removes any
doubts about handling the product down the
line. For example, if you choose liquid
royal jelly which is sold as ‘requiring
refrigeration’, how do you know that the
product has been stored and transported in a
refrigerated state, and that it isn’t in a
partially decomposed state with diminished
nutritive properties?
