Royal Jelly is a 100% natural substance that is secreted by the worker bees and used as food by the queen bee throughout her life. It is responsible for the different development of the queen bee compared to the other bees in the hive. Because of its composition it is a powerful dietary supplement traditionally used to improve mental and physical performance. Royal jelly is rich in, Carbohydrates (sugars amongst others), Proteins (royalisin, apisimin, apidaecin, abaecin, hymenoptaecin and apalbumin amongst others), Amino acids, Fats, Minerals (potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron phosphorus, manganeso, silicon, etc..) and Vitamins (a high proportion of B5 but also B1, B2, B6, B8, B9, C and PP). Honey gives this product its remarkable sweetness (royal jelly on its own is acidic and bitter) and its flavour. This honey comes from Spain.
