Royal Jelly
Analysis of royal jelly reveals all major vitamins: A, B-complex, C, D, and E. It contains a natural antibiotic—decanoic acid—sulfur, and over 5% fatty acids, 12% protein, and nearly 3% “unidentifiable” substances. The moisture content is 66%. Natural hormones, essential sugars, nucleic acids, vegetable gelatin, gamma globulin, and other fascinating nutrients are also found in royal jelly.
Propolis
Like all beehive products, propolis is made of locally gathered substances of plant origin. Propolis differs in composition from place to place. It typically consists of:
30% beeswax
55% resins
10% aromatic ethers and essential oils
5% pollen.
A sampling of chemical ingredients often includes:
|
B vitamins |
