Where can you buy fresh royal jelly in the US? I've read it loses most of its nutritional properties after 48 of being harvested.

A study carried out by the Yugoslavian gynecologists, Bogdan Tekavcic, pointed out that the women who followed a treatment based on royal jelly and pollen, managed to get rid of the menstrual cycle problems. The other group of women, who followed the traditional medication, suffered no improvement of their health problem.
