what is royal jelly?

Answer 1

a lubricant
made by bees.
the queen.
something the queen of england has for tea.

Answer 2

Royal jelly, also known as gelee royale and RJ, is the milky-white gelatinous substance secreted from the cephalic glands of nurse worker bees (Apis mellifera) for apparently the sole purpose of stimulating the growth and development of the queen bee. Without royal jelly, the queen bee would be no different from the worker bees and would live about as long (seven to eight weeks). With royal jelly, the queen bee can live five to seven years. This fact explains the popular belief that royal jelly has rejuvenating qualities.

Answer 3

ROYAL JELLY


Royal Jelly is produced from protein by immature or young bees and is only eaten by the Queen Bee. Bee-keepers produce Royal Jelly by using special queen cells in the hive. The product is harvested and frozen to preserve its properties.




Royal Jelly is very rich in proteins and contains all the amino acids essential for human nutrition. Also has high B Vitamin levels, particularly Vitamin B6 and patothenic acid.




The most unique feature of Royal Jelly is its hydroxy fatty acids (collectively known as 10HDA). These fatty acids are responsible for the biological properties of Royal Jelly: there are a number of studies showing Royal Jelly stimulates growth rates and metabolism.




USES


A highly nutritious dietary supplement taken for general well-being, with nutrients such as B-complex vitamnins, including high concentration of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), acetylcholine, minerals, enzymes, hormones, eighteen amino acids, antibacterial and antibiotic components, and vitamins A, C, D and E.

Answer 4

Royal jelly is a bee secretion that aids in the development of immature or young bees. Hope that helps you out!
It's kind of like a honey.

Answer 5

Not something you want to spread on your toast.....People collect and sell royal jelly as a dietary supplement, claiming various health benefits because of components like B-complex vitamins such as pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine); it can also be found in various beauty products. The overall composition of royal jelly is 67% water, 12.5% crude protein (including small amounts of many different amino acids), and 11% simple sugars, also including a relatively high amount (5%) of fatty acids. It also contains many trace minerals, some enzymes, antibacterial and antibiotic components, and trace amounts of vitamin C[1]. Contrary to claims by many of those promoting its use, vitamins A, D and E are completely absent from royal jelly [1]. Independent research has already disproved, or is needed to confirm or disprove, many of the purported health claims, such as reports of hormonal activity (unknown in the bees themselves; the most abundant sterol is cholesterol, which is not itself a hormone). To date, there is only preliminary evidence that it may have some cholesterol-lowering effects, as well as immunomodulatory, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, wound-healing and antibiotic effects, though the last three of these effects are unlikely to be realized if ingested (digestion of the subtances involved, or neutralization via changes in pH).[ want to put on your toast.
