How is royal jelly formed?

1. Royal jelly is produced by worker bees. There is a unique royal gland on the abdomen of the worker bees. The substance secreted by this royal gland is the main body of royal jelly, and it is the main source of protein in royal jelly.

2. The royal gland exists on the head of the worker bee. After it produces secretions, they will pass through the duct to the bottom of the bee's mouth. At this time, some secretions produced by the maxillary gland will also be mixed in. This secretion is the main source of fatty acids in royal jelly.

How to store royal jelly

We bought royal jelly, but most of it cannot be eaten at once. You can put the royal jelly in the refrigerator to thaw it first. After the royal jelly is thawed, pour the liquid royal jelly into a shallow box and spread it flat before putting it in the freezer. After the royal jelly is frozen again, take it out and cut it into small pieces with a knife. Then put the cut royal jelly pieces into a container, tighten the lid and put it in the freezer. Take a small piece each time you eat it, so as to avoid the problem of spoilage caused by taking a large amount of royal jelly each time.

Another common way to preserve royal jelly is to mix it with other honey. If you don't like to eat solid royal jelly, you can divide the large bottle of royal jelly into small bottles and put them in the freezer, and then take a bottle each time and put it in the fresh-keeping layer, making sure to finish a small bottle within two or three days, so there will be no waste. Or if people who drink want to eat royal jelly, they can also mix royal jelly with high-concentration liquor in a ratio of one to five, so that it can be stored for one or two years.

Can royal jelly be taken for a long time?

The answer is that royal jelly can be eaten for a long time. Royal jelly is rich in enzyme proteins, one of which is called "superoxide dismutase" (abbreviated as SOD), which is a very good antioxidant. It has the effect of protecting the body and removing free radicals, protecting the body from the damage of free radicals, and playing a role in anti-radiation and delaying aging. And royal jelly should be taken for a long time without interruption. It often takes several months or half a year to see the effect. Intermittent consumption will not achieve the desired effect.

1. Royal jelly is a natural substance that can be eaten directly and absorbed by the human body. Generally, take it once in the morning and evening, 3-5 grams each time, and it is better to take it on an empty stomach. Take it sublingually or with warm water. Because royal jelly contains natural active substances, do not heat it before consumption to avoid loss of nutrients.

2. For the elderly, the weak and those with severe symptoms, the dosage can be increased appropriately, and there will be no side effects when the dosage is increased. For patients with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, etc., it is best to take it in the early morning or 2-3 hours before going to bed.

3. Royal jelly has a special taste. In order to improve the taste and make the nutrition more comprehensive and the quality more stable, it can be prepared into royal jelly honey for consumption. Generally, 1000 grams of honey and 100-200 grams of royal jelly are mixed evenly. Take it once in the morning and evening, 10-20 grams each time, with warm water. The prepared royal jelly honey can be stored in the refrigerator when not in use.

It should be noted that royal jelly is hot in nature, so people who suffer from internal heat or have a hot body should consume it in moderation.
