Royal Jelly is a thick, creamy fluid synthesized in nurse bees' bodies during digestion of bee pollen and secreted from glands in their heads. All larvae are fed Royal Jelly for three days, but the Queen bee eats Royal Jelly exclusively, which makes her fertile and able to live for five to seven years. In contrast, worker bees are sterile and live just seven to eight weeks. 10-2 HDA, thought to be the principle active substance in Royal Jelly, makes the Queen Bee 50% larger than the other female worker bees and gives her incredible stamina, ovulation ability and longevity, living 4-5 years longer than worker bees who only live 40 days.

Royal Jelly is a rich source of complete protein, containing all the essential amino acids, as well as essential fatty acids, minerals and vitamins, particularly pantothenic acid (B-5) and pyridoxine (B-6). Royal Jelly also contains collagen; lecithin; and vitamins A, C, D and E, all of which benefit the skin. Concentrated Royal Jelly moisturizes dry skin and soothes dermatitis. Additionally, Royal Jelly contains several other compounds that help lower cholesterol. A review of controlled studies concluded that in humans, 50 to 100 mg Royal Jelly per day decreased total cholesterol by 14 percent and triglycerides by 10 percent. Royal Jelly at a dose of 15-mg/kg body weight, slowed the development of atherosclerosis in rabbits fed high-fat diets.

Each SUPER ROYAL JELLY NPcaps provides 400 mg of Royal Jelly 15:1 concentrate (equivalent to 6000 mg of fresh Royal Jelly), standardized to contain 30% 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-2 HDA), a long-chain carboxylic acid of the steroid group. 10-hydroxy acids occur in the royal jelly of nurse bees (Apis mellifera). Trans 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid is considered as the genuine fatty compound of royal jelly (about 50 % of the total fatty acids). Other hydroxylated fatty acids (10-hydroxydecanoic acid and 9-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid) were also detected. These components are said to give specific therapeutic properties to royal jelly such as skin protection, anti-inflammatory action and anti-cancer activities.

Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take 1-3 capsules daily with meals, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
