Why Choose Bee Pollen Royal Jelly?
After surveying a group of ten people who were interested in bee pollen and supplementing their health with it, 9 of the 10 had no real idea what “royal jelly” was. Is it a moisturizer of some sort? A brand name of bee pollen supplement?
Bee pollen royal jelly is a complex well-formulated substance that is used by young nurse bees as larva food. This bee pollen royal jelly is secreted from the glands on the tops of the young nurse bee’s heads, and is then given to the young larvae for up to 3 days (the queen larvae, however, are given this nutrient-rich source for their entire life). During the 3 days that the larvae are eating bee pollen royal jelly they grow 250 times their birth weight and quickly reach their full development.
The queen bee, however, grows 500 times in weight as she is fed the bee pollen royal jelly her entire life. Other than also doubling the size of the average worker bee, the queen bee can live up to 6 years whereas the regular worker bee only lives a maximum of 40 days. That’s quite the difference in a lifespan!
As scientists began discovering how beneficial bee pollen royal jelly was for bees, they began to look into how it can benefit humans. It has been discovered that bee pollen royal jelly contains vast amounts of:
Vitamins
Proteins
Lipids

You can find bee pollen royal jelly in a couple of different forms. It is typically sold in either a liquid or capsule form. The liquid form has a honey base to it, and you can either take it directly or mix it into either a beverage (such as your favorite tea), in a meal replacement shake or a smoothie of any sort. The most important thing to bear in mind when buying bee pollen royal jelly is that it is coming from a reputable source. This will help ensure that it is pure and of the highest quality. Reputable companies also tend not to use any sort of preservatives, chemicals, or additives so that it doesn’t detract from the health benefits of the bee pollen royal jelly.
NOTE: Before beginning your royal jelly health regime, speak to your physician about any possible side effects such as allergies or asthma.
