1. What is
Royal Jelly?
Royal Jelly is a natural nutritious complex with many bio-active compounds, including 10-HDA found nowhere else in nature. Within the bee hive, Royal Jelly is produced as the exclusive food of the Queen Bee.
The number of worker bees in a hive may be in the tens of thousands, but there is only one Queen. Royal Jelly is eaten by the Queen Bee, and because of her exclusive Royal Jelly diet, the Queen Bee becomes different from the other bees in three significant ways:
- The average worker bee lives about 6 weeks, while the Queen Bee lives an astonishing 4 to 6 years.
- The Queen Bee is twice the size of female worker bees.
- The Queen can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day, often laying 100,000 to 200,000 eggs each year.
When it comes to providing the Queen Bee with sustenance, growth, and long life, Royal Jelly can only be described as one of nature’s miraculous foods. No where else in nature does the food fed to one member of a species, genetically identical at birth with other members, determine its morphology and lifespan.
2. Where does Bee Alive Royal Jelly come from?
Bee Alive purchases all of its Royal Jelly from hand-selected, well-cared-for hives in special areas of Thailand and Asia, researched to be ideal for harvesting premier quality Royal Jelly. Further, our Royal Jelly is independently tested by a third party lab to ensure we receive only the highest quality, pure and potent Royal Jelly.
3. What is the Difference between Fresh and Freeze-Dried Royal Jelly?
There is a big difference between fresh, in its natural-state Royal Jelly and Royal Jelly that has been freeze-dried. Bee Alive respects what nature has created, and therefore we use only fresh, in its natural state Royal Jelly, carefully handled, shipped and stored to preserve freshness and quality, prior to use in all of our Royal Jelly Energy and ESSENTIAL dietary supplement formulas. Most companies use a freeze-drying method, which removes all of the moisture from the Royal Jelly — as a result, about 67% of the natural-state product disappears. This makes shipping and storage less expensive, but scientific research has shown that freeze drying degrades Royal Jelly more quickly and may destroy some of the properties of this precious food substance. We are diligent and devoted to providing our customers with Royal Jelly that is as close to nature as possible, ensuring you the finest Royal Jelly available!
4. What do medical doctors think about the benefits of Royal Jelly?
Unfortunately, many doctors in the U.S. do not know about Royal Jelly because their field of expertise is in pharmaceutical drugs, not in nutrition and dietary supplements. However, in parts of Europe and Asia, Royal Jelly is better known by doctors and other health professionals as a complex natural substance with many biologically-active components, beneficial for energy, vitality and stamina.
For example, in Italy, Eastern Europe, and Japan, Royal Jelly has long been used in therapeutic settings as an anti-fatigue compound. Also, in China, the use of Royal Jelly is now recognized in the Materia Medica, the collected knowledge used by health care practitioners about the therapeutic properties of a substance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Royal Jelly is used as a general tonic to strengthen the body’s fundamental life-force or vital energy.
5. Should I take Royal Jelly if I'm pregnant?
If you are pregnant or nursing, it is important to consult with your doctor or healthcare professional before taking any dietary supplement, including Royal Jelly. However, we are aware of pregnant and nursing women taking Royal Jelly because they find it's a wonderful way to support their energy during this special time.
6. Does Royal Jelly work well with my regular vitamins?
Absolutely! Royal Jelly is a completely natural, nutritious food substance and is a wonderful addition to your daily multi-vitamin regimen.
7. If I'm allergic to bee stings, can I still take Royal Jelly?
An allergy to bee stings means you have a sensitivity to bee venom. Although Royal Jelly is not the same as bee venom, some people who are allergic to bee stings might also be allergic to Royal Jelly. For others, this does not appear to be the case. However, if you have any concerns about taking Royal Jelly, we recommend you consult with your healthcare professional.
8. Why does Bee Alive prefer to sell their Royal Jelly in a 3-month supply?
Royal Jelly is a natural food substance that can take time to work optimally in your body. While some people see results more quickly than others, through the years we have discovered that the full benefits of Royal Jelly take a little longer for some people. We suggest a three month supply of Royal Jelly to give you the best opportunity to optimize Royal Jelly benefits through consistent use of the product.
At Bee Alive, the most important thing to us is that our customers feel the results, experienced as an overall sense of wellbeing, vitality and stamina, throughout one’s day and life. This is why we guarantee all of our Royal Jelly Energy supplement products.
9. Once I begin taking Royal Jelly, do I have to take it forever?
It is not necessary to stay on Royal Jelly forever, however, you receive the benefits only by taking Royal Jelly. People choose to take Royal Jelly daily because they love the way they feel. Our Royal Jelly Energy supplement products, combined with exercise and good nutrition, can help you maintain a more energetic lifestyle — a real sign of well being.
