Subscribers say the boost of vitamins and nutrients works wonders on everything from bronchial asthma to bad skin (in fact, the popular Burts Bees line of skincare products offers soaps and creams specially blended with royal jelly). Plus, its high amino acid content benefits the body’s ability to fight infection and disease. In addition, many cancer patients who have recently undergone radiation and chemotherapy take royal jelly supplements to boost their immune systems and rebuild destroyed cells...

ReplyDeleteHave you also heard that royal jelly also increases women's fertility? 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.
