The healing properties of beekeeping products have been known since antiquity. Experienced beekeepers collect from hives not only fragrant sweet Honey, but also other waste products of bees: pollen, bee bread, bee dead, propolis, wax, and, of course, royal jelly - the main food for the larvae throughout life.

Special food is produced in the pharyngeal and maxillary glands by honey bees. Extraction of a unique remedy is carried out from special artificial bowls placed in hives, or from unsealed queen cells. The whitish color product has a thick jelly consistency and a sharp sour taste.

Today I will talk about royal jelly - his medicinal properties and information on how to take this universal elixir will help you get rid of diseases, become healthier and more beautiful.

Since the concentrate, which is popularly called "royal bee jelly", contains a full range of biologically active compounds, being in fact a natural stimulant and adaptogen, it is difficult to overestimate its importance for the human body, and the internal intake of the product ensures its work at the cellular level.

Despite the fact that the biochemical composition of royal jelly has not been fully studied (according to scientists, today only 95% of the substances present in the product have been reliably established), it is actively used in apitherapy, conservative and folk medicine, official and home cosmetology, scientific research and clinical practice.

Medicinal properties and composition of royal jelly

The beneficial properties of royal jelly consist in a unique composition of biologically active substances. The feed for larvae contains carbohydrates (natural sugars), fats (lipids and free fatty acid) and easily digestible protein compounds (up to 19%), including a full set of essential and nonessential amino acids necessary for the full provision of their vital functions. The composition of the proteins of royal jelly is close to the proteins of human blood serum.

The product contains almost a full range of vitamins and vitamin-like compounds (A, all vitamins of group B, C, D, E, PP), a complex of mineral salts and trace elements, enzymes, main hormones synthesized in the human body (progesterone, testosterone, estradiol), 15 fatty acids, organic acids (lactic, pyruvic), decenic acids, sterols, neurotransmitters (acetylcholine), natural substances with antibiotic properties.

As in other beekeeping products, an exceptional environment has been created in royal jelly, preventing the emergence and development of pathogens. The most valuable is native royal jelly - a freshly harvested product of a milky white color, which after a few days acquires a yellowish tint.

Often, milk is used in combination with bee bread, honey, pollen. There is a practice of treating internal and external diseases with alcoholic solutions of native milk, prepared directly in the apiary, at home or purchased at a pharmacy.

For the manufacture of medicines and cosmetics, the initial product is dried to obtain a powder or granules of yellow white, which contain only a part of useful compounds. There is a practice of freezing the product.

Storage at low temperatures also destroys some valuable constituents. Therefore, experts recommend treating with native milk, purchased from conscientious beekeepers and at proven points.

Royal jelly has the following medicinal properties:

• antibacterial with pronounced bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects;
• antimicrobial (even a concentration of 1:10 destroys infectious agents more strongly than carbolic acid);

Here is such an impressive list of therapeutic qualities scientifically proven and documented in world research laboratories.

What is royal jelly

Young bees, between five and fifteen days old, produce this useful gum for feeding the larvae with their pharyngeal glands. Subsequently, they lose this property and turn into ordinary worker bees.

Surprisingly, two types of milk are produced with very different benefits. One of them bees use for future workers and store it in. And the second type of milk is stored in wax tanks, and future queens are fed with it. Therefore, the substance is also called royal jelly. At the beginning of life, being absolutely identical larvae, bees grow up with different functions, abilities and purposes. Ordinary bees do not live long, up to two months. Queens live for about six years, are twice the size of normal, and have a unique breeding ability that no other bee has. So, the difference in the benefits of feeding the larvae radically changes their future and gives them new abilities.

The chemical composition of royal jelly

The benefits and harms of bee milk are not controversial and doubtful, but its composition and properties have not yet been fully studied.

We can say for sure that it contains more than four hundred useful components, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and hormones. It is not capable of causing harm to the body, but there is individual characteristics to consider.

• about 60% water;

• 10-40% - carbohydrates;
• the remaining 1-3% are vitamins, enzymes, minerals, amino acids, hormones and other useful substances. Among them, the growth hormone progesterone, estradiol, amylase, testosterone, vitamins of groups A, B, C, D, folic acid... Without harm, they support all functions in the human body.

There are many unique and healthy foods in nature. Royal jelly of bees is one of these. It is considered to be the strongest biological active stimulant and has a number of healing properties.

The milk of queen bees is a product of the glands of the nursing bees, which serves as the main food for the larvae of the bees. This product does not belong to the main products of beekeeping and bees do not put it off for long-term storage, so its collection has its own certain difficulties.

Uterine milk is found in small quantities in all larvae, but only in the larvae of future queens is it contained in large quantities throughout development. Therefore, the most suitable time for collection is the breeding period of the queen bees. Milk accumulates in the greatest amount on the 4th-5th day of larval development.

Collection of royal jelly consists of the following stages:

• Creation of an additional frame on which the larvae will be transplanted;
• Preparing a family that will raise these larvae;
• Extraction of closed queen cells and selection of milk from them using a syringe or spoon;
• Returning the larvae to the family;
• Packaging and storage.

A few hours after extraction, the properties of the milk change. An important condition for collection is efficiency and availability of cooling equipment. Freezing helps to slow down the destruction of beneficial properties.
