Video about the role of royal jelly in women's health

Ancient healers also wondered why a queen bee lives much longer than worker bees? Observations have shown that the whole point is in the special diet of the "queen" - and it contains royal jelly, or apilac. This substance, produced by the submandibular glands of bees, ensures the large size of the uterus, its longevity and phenomenal fertility.

Alternative medicine uses a unique product as a biostimulating agent. It increases the reproductive capacity of men and women, kills pathogenic microbes, heals wounds and boosts immunity.

What is Royal Jelly? Composition

For feeding larvae under 4 days of age, bees synthesize a special product. They secrete from the submandibular glands a white liquid with a sour taste and honey aroma.

The grown larvae no longer need it, and the uterus of the hive feeds on milk all its life. Moreover, in the first days of her life, the “queen” lives in a wax cell, completely filled with apilak. As a result, she grows 2.5 times larger than her subjects and lays 2 thousand eggs a day.

The effect is due to the unusual composition of royal jelly. It consists of 28.5% of nutrients - proteins, carbohydrates and fats. The rest of the volume is represented by water with bioactive substances dissolved in it.

The most active components of apilak:

  • Royalactin. This unusual bee protein stimulates cell division and growth.
  • Adenosine triphosphate. Promotes the production of proteins, the movement of nutrients to the cells.
  • Vitamins of group B. They direct the metabolism, support the work of the heart, the functions of the nervous and digestive systems.
  • Acetylcholine. This neurotransmitter activates brain activity.
  • Gluconic acid. Kills pathogenic flora, strengthens the skin and nails.
  • 10-hydroxy-2-decanoic acid. Protects the body from radiation.

The collection of the product is carried out during the period of active hatching of young bees - in late spring and early summer. Beekeepers prepare wooden planks with queen cells - miniature bowls in the form of natural honeycombs.

Here, on the bar, the cage for the uterus is fixed. The device is placed on a grafting frame. They put the "queen" in the cage and lower the bar into the hive.

A day later, when the bees fill the bowls with apilak, the frame is moved to the bee colony, and the cage with the queen is placed on a new bar with empty bowls.

By the time the larvae are 4 days old, they are removed from the apilak using a wooden stick. The liquid from the mother liquor is collected with nicot - a special plastic spoon.

For medicinal purposes, natural milk is most effective. It can be purchased in several forms:

  • Native - fresh, packaged directly in apiaries.
  • Adsorbed - dried under special conditions, presented in granules.
  • Freeze-dried - subjected to soft drying and dehydration.
  • Mixed with honey.

All types of products are sold in specialized beekeeping stores. To be sure of the quality of the goods, it is enough to require a certificate.

There is also a second purchase option - directly from a bee farm. Here you should pay attention to the volume of products offered by the manufacturer. Since the production and collection of milk is limited, a large amount of the product is indicative of a fake.

The remedies given by nature itself are often more effective than the chemical preparations from the pharmacy. Royal jelly - what is it and what useful properties does it have? More on this later.

Royal jelly - what is it?

Royal jelly is a unique product, very valuable. It represents a real healing elixir - it is used by bees to feed their queen and growing offspring. A lot of benefits can bring royal jelly and people. For the first time, the properties and use of royal jelly became interested in J. Dzerzhon - a Polish doctor - in the middle of the 19th century. But mass product research began only in the 20th century.

Although bees do not have special glands, their milk is analogous to mother's milk - rich in nutrients, healing. It can be thick (needed for the growth of the uterine queen) and liquid (the larvae are fed this way). Ordinary larvae feed on liquid milk for the first time after birth - the valuable substances in it are enough for one and a half to two months.

The Queen needs special food - thick milk gives it. The queen grows twice as large as ordinary bees, lives for about 6 years and produces healthy offspring. Thick milk contains hormones - the same as in liquid milk, but in a tenfold amount. The diet for the "monarch" is placed in oval-shaped wax flasks (they are called "uterine"). The uterus uses milk throughout its life.

Main characteristics of bee milk:

  1. Color - white, cream.
  2. The aroma is burning, sharp.
  3. The taste is sweet and sour.
  4. The pH is 3.5-4.5.

At room temperature in the open air, the product quickly deteriorates - it oxidizes, becomes yellow and loses its unique healing properties. Therefore, correct procurement and storage in accordance with current requirements is the key to success in this case.

Chemical composition

The healing properties of royal jelly are determined by its unique composition - the nectar contains more than 400 biologically active components. Chemical composition as a percentage:

  • water - up to 70% (maybe less);
  • dry matter (proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamins, hormones, enzymes) - up to 40%.

The usefulness of the product largely depends on where and how it is obtained - the composition is sometimes very different (it is influenced by climate, weather factors, the well-being of the bee colony, compliance with harvesting technologies). Price also matters - quality milk is never too cheap. The nutritional value of the product is 139 kilocalories per 100 g.

Main components of the product:

  1. Amino acids.
  2. Minerals (about 100 items).
  3. Carbohydrates.
  4. Enzymes.

As well as phytoncides, hormones, immunoglobulins, and other valuable trace elements. By the way, 5% of the composition of milk has not yet been studied - scientists only have to get acquainted with all its secrets.

Beneficial features

Useful properties of royal jelly:

  • increasing the barrier properties of the body, strengthening the immune system. You can drink granulated royal jelly, in pure form, or use honey with royal jelly - the health benefits will be invaluable in any case;

  • increased lactation, activation of the mammary glands - this is the main benefit of the product for women who are breastfeeding their baby. If there is very little milk, and you planned to transfer the baby to artificial feeding, do not rush - royal jelly can help;
  • beneficial effect on the process of fetal formation - taking the product is indicated for pregnant women;
  • acceleration of wound healing processes, tissue restoration;
  • strengthening nails and hair, smoothing wrinkles - natural royal jelly is actively used in cosmetology. Before you start using a healing product for your face or body, make sure that your body can tolerate it normally;

The extract of dead bee with royal jelly is highly valued. Bee podmore is

Since ancient times, beekeeping products have been considered one of the most healing and truly unique natural medicines. Honey, propolis, bee bread serve as the basis for folk recipes for many ailments, but royal jelly cannot be compared with them. This specific substance with a telling name - "royal jelly" - is used by insects to feed their offspring, which means that it contains all the best that bees can give. The richest composition of the elixir explains the interest of a person in it - it is hardly possible to find another composition with the same healing qualities as royal jelly.

Royal jelly: medicinal properties and how to take

Before you understand why a person needs "royal jelly" and in what recipes of traditional medicine it is used, you need to figure out what this unique liquid is.

Royal jelly has nothing to do with the usual dairy products obtained from animals. This sticky substance is produced by the pharyngeal glands of young bees from 5 to 15 days old - later they lose this ability and turn into full-fledged "working" insects. Similarly to a nursing mother who gives the baby front and rear breast milk, bees, when chewing bee bread and honey, produce two types of milk - thinner and thicker. But these compositions are not intended for one, but for different larvae: ordinary bees receive a more liquid composition, and the future royal individual receives a nutritious thick cocktail. Liquid milk is in the combs, where ordinary insect babies are fed, and the thick sticky liquid is stored in special tanks - wax flasks, in which the queen bee larva lives.

Due to this difference in the diet, ordinary insects and the royal individual grow completely different. If the first are of normal size and live very shortly (on average, 1.5-2 months), then the second is 2-2.5 times larger than the others and lives for about 6 years. In addition, it acquires the ability to reproduce, because thick royal jelly contains a high concentration of special hormones. Obviously, it is the second, thick royal jelly that is used for medical purposes, the composition of which is considered the elixir of life not only for bees, but also for humans.

Royal jelly: medicinal properties

Scientists have not been able to fully study the composition of royal jelly - this substance has variable characteristics depending on the characteristics of insects, their location, season, flowering of plants and other circumstances. Nevertheless, the resulting conditional formula is composed so harmoniously that you can hardly find an analogue in nature - royal jelly, benefits which is undeniable, includes more than 400 active ingredients, including the most valuable vitamins, essential amino acids, proteins, enzymes, hormones and other ingredients.

About 60% of the total composition of royal jelly is water, and the remaining 40% is represented by dry matter. Of these, fats account for about 5-15%, proteins - 20-50%, carbohydrates - 10-40%, and the remaining 1-3% are minerals, vitamins, enzymes and other useful substances. This ratio is incredibly high - even in minimal concentrations, the vitamin-mineral cocktail of royal jelly significantly exceeds most of the existing herbal complexes, and pharmacological additives can hardly boast of such an abundance of ingredients.

Royal jelly - how to take?

Of course, fresh "royal jelly" obtained directly from the apiary has the greatest benefit, but not everyone and not always have such an opportunity. Therefore, many people buy royal jelly in specialized stores - with certain processing, it can be stored for quite a long time. Which of the proposed means to choose?

There are a lot of options:

  1. Frozen. In this case, fresh royal jelly from the hive is exposed to low temperatures. Moreover, the lower the temperature, the longer the substance will be stored. In an ordinary refrigerator, the properties of royal jelly are preserved for about one and a half to two weeks, and if you put it in the freezer, the shelf life is extended several times. The best option for preserving the healing qualities is considered to be deep dry freezing in an industrial environment. If you decide to freeze the milk yourself, pack it in small bags so that you can later defrost it in the refrigerator in portions.
  2. With honey. To prolong the life of the "royal jelly", many connoisseurs of natural products mix it with honey. This not only extends its shelf life, but also improves its taste. You can buy a ready-made mixture from beekeepers, or you can prepare it yourself. Moreover, the concentration can be almost any - the amount of milk in different recipes varies from 2% to 50%. Also, pollen, propolis and various plant extracts are added to some mixtures to improve the taste, aroma and medicinal properties.
  3. In special pharmaceutical forms. Pharmacological supplements and dietary supplements containing royal jelly, everyone knows how to take - most often they are presented in granules or capsules. The granular substance is a kind of dry concentrate, completely devoid of water, but containing all the nutritional and vitamin supplements inherent in the "royal jelly". Moreover, this form is considered the most popular - it is easy to dose for both external and internal use, and the granules themselves disintegrate rather quickly, taking the physical form of a solvent (for example, cream or liquid). In addition, they can also be taken dry, simply by dissolving under the tongue.

Basically, not dried, but lyophilized royal jelly is added to the capsules. In this case, the substance is gently dried under vacuum conditions, so its medicinal properties are fully preserved, as in the case of granules.

Royal jelly: application

There is nothing better for the body than fresh bee royal jelly taken internally. By absorbing a small ball of substance (about half of a nail) under the tongue, you can compensate for the deficiency of vitamins and minerals, increase immunity, improve digestion, cleanse blood vessels and normalize blood pressure. Through a thin mucous membrane located in the oral cavity, the healing components go straight into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract, which means that the body will have the maximum concentration of "natural medicine".

However, in the absence of fresh milk, you can resort to using tablet, granular or capsule forms. They also dissolve under the tongue, however, the granule solution can be injected (mainly as part of a comprehensive treatment in especially severe cases).

If you prefer to store "royal jelly" with honey, in no case prepare hot tea or drink from it - under the influence of high temperature, many vitamins break down, and milk loses its properties. The healing effect retains only that royal jelly, application which is carried out according to the rules, and in this case it is no different from the usual forms - it is best to dissolve the mixture under the tongue.

In cases where the external effect of the drug is considered optimal (for example, for skin diseases, dermatitis, irritation, infant prickly heat and other problems), you can apply the milk directly to the skin both fresh and in the form of granules (after diluting them to a normal state ). Homemade creams and masks with the addition of a small amount of this elixir will be of particular value - they will not only get rid of all skin problems, but also restore the tone of the dermis, smooth wrinkles and significantly rejuvenate the skin.

Royal jelly: beneficial properties

Since ancient times, "royal jelly" has been used to strengthen the body, improve immune responses and raise vitality. However, this is far from the only use of bee elixir - this substance is used in the treatment of many diseases:

  • Nervous system disorders. Special substances contained in royal jelly help to strengthen nerve cells, help the body to quickly cope with depression and stress disorder, fight insomnia, improve memory and attention.
  • Pathology of the gastrointestinal tract.

  • Cardiovascular abnormalities. Resorption of bee milk balls suppresses pathological surges in blood pressure, cleans blood vessels from cholesterol plaques, strengthens the vascular walls and makes them more flexible and elastic.
  • Endocrine Disorders... The composition of royal jelly is rich in hormones that ensure the active growth of insects. When they are used, the existing deviations in the work of the endocrine glands are restored, and the hormonal background returns to normal.
  • Abnormalities in metabolism. Bee elixir improves metabolism, normalizes the absorption and degradability of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Thanks to this effect, many women are actively using the substance, hoping for a slimming effect.
  • Respiratory system diseases. Since respiratory diseases are most often viral or bacterial in nature, strengthening immunity after taking royal jelly during an illness will be very helpful. In addition, it contains disinfecting components that can be used as a natural antibiotic.

Dry adsorbed royal jelly containing 90% lactose and 10% active ingredient can be stored at 25 ° C in a dark place for up to 1 year.
