Royal Jelly is a treasure from nature, rich in nutrients and energy, that bees segregate to feed their larvae for 3 days and the queen bee throughout her entire life. 

It is a nacreous white viscous product with a slightly sweet acid flavour. It is composed by 12 -13 % protein, 12-15 % carbohydrates, 5-6 % lipids, including the most important fatty acids, and the full range of vitamins. 

HDA or 10-hidroxy-2-decanoic acid

HDA is an organic acid present in royal jelly that acts as a biochemical marker indicating the freshness and biological power or efficacy of Royal Jelly.

Therefore, fresh royal jelly is a high nutritional valued food that provides several health beneficial effects as long as it contains 2 % HDA.

Royal Jelly is the responsible of the size of the queen bee; she is 50% bigger than the rest of the bees as she is the only one fed exclusively with royal jelly throughout her entire life. 

In addition, as royal jelly provides power and longevity, while the worker bees live approximately for 15 days, the queen bee can live up to 5 years!

Furthermore, it enhances the fertility of the queen bee allowing her to put more that 1500 eggs a day, while the worker bees are totally sterile.
