Royal Jelly
'Super Food' and Natural Supplement

Royal Jelly is the substance fed to the queen bee.

One of the products our friends the honeybees share with us, this natural supplement is considered a 'super food' in terms of its composition and nutritional potential.

It contains all eight of our essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein. It is evident from the size and comparatively healthy, long life (approximately 2-5 years) of the queen bee in comparison to 'general' bees (who do not eat it and live only about a month on average), that there is a special quality inherent in it that provides strength and stamina for the queen.

It is produced as a milky secretion in an area of a honeybee's mouth parts called the pharyngeal glands and is a rich source of the B-complex vitamins as well as a source of vitamins A, C, D, and E. Because vitamin B5 is such a critical and essential component in our metabolic structure, the product is highly prized for nutrition and wellness.

Since pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) deficiency is linked to so many systems and symptoms, there are a whole host of serious associated problems that it might help you alleviate or avoid. Some problems associated with vitamin B5 deficiency include: heart problems, depression, headaches and fatigue, nervous disorders, and respiratory infections.
