It is also called "bee's milk" or "hive's gold"... Have you guessed?
It is, of course, Royal Jelly.
You've probably already heard of it, but apart from the fact that it comes from bees and is certainly good for your health, not much else...?
We're going to shed some light on this famous jelly!
A little history...
First of all, it won't surprise you when we tell you that Royal Jelly:
→ has been known since Antiquity (like many natural products with multiple virtues...)
→ at the time, only wealthy Chinese people used it because it was very rare. They thought it ensured longevity and sexual vigor!
→ in Eastern Europe, it was already used to combat stress.
→ since 1970, royal jelly has been very popular in Japan where it is found in energy drinks.
Origins of Royal Jelly
Wondering where royal jelly comes from?
From bees, of course, but more precisely from the secretion of hive worker bees.
Only the queen feeds on it, which is why she is 5 times larger than her counterparts and lives 5 or 6 years longer than them (who die after 45 days!).
Are you starting to get a vague idea of its benefits?
So yes, royal jelly is miraculous; it's a real concentrate of vital elements.
It could almost be considered a medicine given its numerous virtues.
