Royal jelly: beneficial properties. Video
The waste products of bees – wax, honey, pollen – are excellent biological stimulants used to maintain health and beauty. Royal jelly, loved by cosmetologists and doctors, is no exception.
Royal jelly is the very substance that helps the larva turn into a toiler-bee. This secret, secreted by the glands of the worker bees, is sent to a wax cell, from which an adult bee will emerge very soon. And all thanks to the richest composition of the product. Sour in taste, with a strong “waxy” aroma, this white liquid has been the most important component of funds that support the body’s work, immunity and endurance for several centuries.
The miraculous property of royal jelly is hidden in its composition. In addition to fatty acids, vitamins, carbohydrates and hormones, this product contains proteins that are similar in composition to blood plasma proteins. Despite the fact that the absolute interaction of all the substances contained and their effect on humans have not been fully studied by specialists, the beneficial effect on health is obvious.
The vitamin composition of royal jelly includes C, D and B necessary for a person. There are also quite rare vitamins E, PP, pantothenic acid and a whole range of hormones (progesterone, testosterone), which are indispensable in maintaining female youth and attractiveness.
Glucose and fructose serve as excellent antidepressants, replacing regular sugar. And lipins do not allow various microorganisms, parasitizing bacteria, to develop in milk. Nutrients in the composition of the product help to rehabilitate after long-term illnesses, operations, and contribute to the restoration of metabolic processes.
Royal jelly is a capricious product. It is easily neutralized by gastric juice, therefore in medicine it is used in the form of injections or coated tablets. On the basis of royal jelly, various creams and ointments are applied externally (skin contact).
In addition, this beekeeping product does not tolerate the effects of light and air at all, and therefore after 3-4 hours without packaging it loses its properties. In cosmetology, royal jelly undergoes special processing and is used in an increased concentration in order to preserve all auxiliary qualities.
Royal jelly is perfectly absorbed through the mucous membranes, renewing cells and not splitting. Therefore, it is better to hold the mixture with a spoonful of honey under the tongue before swallowing.
For people with allergic reactions to honey, pollen and other waste products of bees, the use of royal jelly is not excluded at all, but should be seriously limited. A specialist will help you choose the optimal amount needed to maintain tone.
