What Makes Royal Jelly So Special?
In a beehive, all larvae start out identical. But one larva is chosen to become the queen — and the main difference is her diet. She is fed on royal jelly, a milky white secretion produced by nurse bees, and she grows much larger than worker bees.
That transformation has made royal jelly a widely studied natural substance, and a popular bee supplement.
The Unique Compound: 10-HDA
Royal jelly contains a fatty acid called 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA). It's one of the compounds researchers study most in royal jelly. Quality royal jelly supplements are often standardized for 10-HDA content.
What's in Royal Jelly?
Royal jelly contains water, proteins, sugars and fatty acids, along with B vitamins, especially B5 (pantothenic acid), and small amounts of minerals.
How Royal Jelly Is Traditionally Used
People have long taken royal jelly as a daily supplement and used it in skincare products. Research on it in people is still limited, so talk with a qualified clinician about what it may or may not do for you.
