Royal Jelly from Antonio on top of the cold storage container it comes in

Antonio Simon the organic beekeeper has some fresh royal jelly which he sent to us. (You can buy it here).

Here’s some information about Royal Jelly.

What is royal jelly?

Royal jelly is a delicate liquid that is secreted by the pharyngeal glands of the heads of honey bees and used in the nutrition of larvae, as well as adult queens. The worker bees feed royal jelly to all larvae in the colony.   When the time has come to make a new queen, they choose several small larvae and feed them with large quantities of royal jelly in specially constructed queen cells.  Feeding this way initiates the development of queen morphology, including the fully developed ovaries needed to lay eggs.

What’s in royal jelly?

The overall composition of royal jelly is 67% water, 12.5% crude protein, a wide array of amino acids (the building blocks of protein), 11% simple sugars (monosaccharides), and 5% of fatty acids.  It also contains many trace minerals, some enzymes, antibacterial and antibiotic components, and trace amounts of vitamin C.    Royal jelly is a pure acetylcholine.  In the central nervous system acetylcholine is believed to be involved in learning, memory, and mood.  It also contains 10-Hydroxy-2-Decenoic Acid a substance found only in royal jelly.

The following is a break down of what is found in royal jelly:

* 17 amino acids
* aspartic acid: 15%
* carbohydrates: 12-15%
* protein: 12%
* lipids: 5-6%

Royal Jelly is full of vitamins

* Pantothenic Acid: 65.0 to 200.0 mcg
* Biotin: 0.9 to 3.7 mcg
* Inositol: 78.0 to 150.0 mcg
* Folic Acid: 0.16 to 0.50mcg
* Vitamin C: Trace
* Vitamin B1: 1.5 to 7.4 mcg
* Vitamin B2: 5.3 to 10.0 mcg
* Vitamin B6: 2.2 to 10.2 mcg
* Niacin: 91.0 to 149.0 mcg

Benefits of Royal Jelly

- What can it do for me?

Royal jelly has been reported to have cholesterol-lowering, anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, and antibiotic effects.  It has also been reported to stimulate the growth of glial cells and neural stem cells in the brain.  Research also suggests that 10 HDA found only in royal jelly may inhibit the growth of tumours.

In comparison to worker bees the queen bee fed solely on royal jelly lives an incredibly long life so one may infer royal jelly to be a longevity food of high standing.
