Royal jelly
Royal jelly is a nutritious, milky substance produced by honeybee workers to feed and nourish queen bees and larvae. It is rich in proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, contributing to its reputation for health benefits when consumed by humans. While it’s often used as a dietary supplement for potential immune support and skin health, scientific evidence varies. Royal jelly's unique composition supports its role in bee development, notably transforming a larva into a queen bee. Its consumption highlights a natural, bee-derived source of bioactive compounds, though individual responses can differ.
