100% organic, MELICINAL Royal Jelly is the essential superfood to strengthen the body.

A natural substance secreted by young worker bees, through the fermentation of pollen and honey, royal jelly is the exclusive food of the queen bee throughout her life (1,2). Its unique properties give her greater longevity than the rest of the hive (3).

It has been used since ancient times in traditional medicine, particularly in Asian apitherapy and in ancient Egypt (4,5). Although its history is part legend (it is credited with curing Pope Pius XII) (5), modern scientific research has demonstrated its therapeutic properties.

Royal jelly has immunomodulatory effects due to its glycoproteins, known as Major Royal Jelly Proteins (MRJPs), which include royalactin (3,4). A 2015 study found that it induced the proliferation of human lymphocytes (6).

In addition, it provides 8 essential amino acids (such as proline, lysine, arginine and glutamic acids), lipids (such as 10-hydroxydecanic acid, a powerful anti-inflammatory and antifungal, which prevents the adhesion of pathogens to the cell surface and promotes neurogenesis in the central nervous system) (3,4,7), minerals (sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, iron and zinc) (2), B-group vitamins and royalysin, a peptide of 51 amino acids with antibacterial and antimicrobial capacity (1,2,4).

Its compounds with bioactivity include adenosine, a molecule with a relaxing effect, antioxidant polyphenols, acetylcholine (a powerful neurostimulant with vasodilatory activity) (1) and hormones such as testosterone, progesterone, prolactin and estradiol (3). Its sugar content (fructose, glucose and sucrose) improves vitality and stimulates resistance to fatigue (1,2).

MELICINAL Royal Jelly is an effective source of energy, considered a superfood (3) that will help to strengthen your immune system to fight colds and flu.
