The chemical composition of royal jelly is very complex. In addition to proteins, amino acids, many vitamins, trace elements, enzymes, nucleic acids and acetylcholine, it is also rich in antioxidants that scavenge free radicals in the body, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), flavonoids and antioxidant Vc and Ve. There is an unsaturated fatty acid (10-hydroxy-A2-koiene acid, 10-HDA for short) found only in royal jelly, also called royal jelly acid, which has a strong bactericidal effect. Royal jelly has a great regulating effect on human metabolism because it contains a variety of nutrients and active substances; and it has a regulating and symptom-improving effect on many diseases of the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, digestive, nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, as well as an auxiliary treatment for bronchitis, ulcer disease, diabetes, and skin diseases. According to Chinese medicine: Royal jelly, sweet and sour in nature. It is used for nourishing, strengthening, benefiting the liver, and strengthening the spleen. It is used for treating weakness after illness, malnutrition in children, old age, infectious hepatitis, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, duodenal ulcer, neurosis, etc. Among the many nutritional health foods, there is no one like royal jelly that combines naturalness, nutrition, health care, safety and science into one. However, hearing that royal jelly contains hormones discourages many people who want to use royal jelly for health care. The reason for this misunderstanding is that people have long misunderstood hormones and hormone-like substances, believing that if they contain hormones and hormone-like substances, their intake will be harmful to the human body. Once the human body lacks the necessary hormones, it will cause various metabolic disorders, endocrine activity disorders, resulting in mental discomfort, neurasthenia, fatigue and other symptoms. The research conducted by bee scientists over the years shows that royal jelly contains a variety of hormones needed by the human body, including almost all the hormones needed by living organisms, such as testosterone, progesterone, metanephrine, adrenocorticotropic hormone, insulin, etc. The proportion of these hormones in royal jelly is very harmonious and safe, unlike synthetic hormones, but natural and necessary for the human body, so we can take it with confidence, especially for the middle-aged and elderly. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. After people enter their middle and old age, various physiological functions are weakened and the pituitary gland’s ability to secrete hormones is reduced, so people in this age group can take royal jelly to promote metabolism and regulate endocrine activities, which can improve sleep, enhance memory, maintain appetite, and increase energy. So it is very necessary for the human body to have the right amount of hormone supplementation, but it is harmful to the human body to have too much sex hormone supplementation. So how to grasp the amount of royal jelly to take? 1. One kilogram of royal jelly contains 8 micrograms of hormones, such as estradiol, testosterone and progesterone, which are used as human reproductive hormones. Each 100 grams contains 0.4167 micrograms of estradiol, 0.1082 micrograms of testosterone, and 0.11666 micrograms of progesterone. The amount of supplemental hormones we generally need per person per day is 5,000-7,000 micrograms, so if each person takes 15 grams of royal jelly a day, for example, only 450 micrograms are consumed in a month, which is a total of 3.6 micrograms, so it is absolutely safe to take royal jelly. 2. On the other hand, for women, the key period to delay aging is after 36 years old, from this age, the content of estrogen in women’s body decreases, and estrogen is the lifeline of women’s elegance; the elasticity and moistening of muscles are maintained by the amount of estrogen, so you can take the right amount of royal jelly to replenish the lost estrogen. However, pregnant women should not take it because the hormonal substances in royal jelly can stimulate the uterus of pregnant women, causing contractions and interfering with the growth and development of the fetus in the uterus. For children, their sexual organs are not mature, so it is not recommended to consume foods containing sex hormones to prevent precocious puberty. However, if children are weak, they can take royal jelly for a short period of time according to their doctor’s recommendation.
