Unlock Your Superpowers with Royal Jelly
This past summer we were cruising along the Oregon Coast in our campervan when we saw a sign for a local farmers market. Being a Tuesday afternoon, it was an unexpected surprise that our entire family was thrilled to find! Our kids went straight for the fresh bakery stand while we scanned the market for beekeepers and local crafters. Within minutes, we were captivated by a healthy, 6-foot tall, older gentleman waving us over to his table with his big grin.
Ron explained that he has been a beekeeper for 30 years and early on in his journey he discovered the health benefits of his favorite of all bee superfoods- Royal Jelly. His fascination for royal jelly led him to formulate his own products so he could incorporate this magical ingredient. “I haven’t been sick in 10 years thanks to royal jelly!” He told us.
We had heard about Royal Jelly but not with the excitement and enthusiasm of this charismatic man. We asked all the questions we could think of including, “Can we buy a jar of JUST royal jelly.” He looked up surprised and excitedly went under his table to retrieve a small glass jar of the white goo.
We walked away from that market both excited and inspired. In our search for ideas to create the third honeyblend, we were sure this was a sign to utilize the magical royal jelly in our next blend.
Royal jelly, “bee milk”. is a honeybee excretion that is fed to larvae for the first three days of life. When a hive needs a new queen, it will choose up to 10 larvae less than 3 days old and begin feeding them royal jelly. The first queen to emerge will sting the other developing queens, killing them before they can hatch. If two emerge at the same time, they will fight to the death! The queen bee is then fed royal jelly exclusively for her entire life.
This magical bee superfood is the reason the queen bee grows twice the size and lives up to 30 times longer than a worker bee. It contains 185 biologically active ingredients, an impressive chemical called 10-HDA (queen bee acid), essential amino acids, 16 vitamins and minerals and 18 enzymes.
Royal jelly has been used for thousands of years and it has numerous health benefits. The most notable might be the ability of 10-HDA to be used as brain fuel and protection. Studies have shown that this naturally occurring chemical acts as a neurogenesis (regrows neurons) and could treat and even prevent neurological disorders. Due to this research, we chose to synergize our Royal Boost Honeyblend with Lions Mane mushroom and royal jelly. The combination of the two nootropics makes this blend a great daily dose for brain protection, health and neuron regeneration.
Along with brain health, royal jelly has been shown to improve vitality and bring out your inner superpower in the following ways:
- Boosts immunity. This is primarily due to flavonoids, an antioxidant found in plants.
- Energy yielding, boosts stamina and promotes longevity. Did you know Queen Elizabeth takes it daily for these reasons?
- Improves collagen production, contributing to healthy skin appearance and wound healing.
- And many more…
We are so excited to bring this miraculous superfood to you in our newest blend, the Royal Boost Honeyblend. Not only do we use this superstar ingredient but we blend in the warming spices of vanilla bean and cardamom to create a luxurious aftertaste that will also satisfy your senses. You can enjoy it directly off the spoon or mixed into warm water or tea for a healthy and decadent treat at any time of the day. Get your own taste of vitality and health with our delicious and nourishing Royal Boost Honeyblend.
