What is healthier than beebread or royal jelly?

Well known about great benefit honey and other products produced by bees. Bee bread and royal jelly contain a large amount of vitamins, nutrients, and microelements.

Perga

Bee bread is a product of ordinary flower pollen, collected and processed by hardworking bees. Bees deposit pollen in “black honeycombs”, where under the influence of enzymes, microorganisms and a certain temperature pollen turns into especially useful food product- bee bread. In terms of nutritional value, it is significantly superior to pollen itself. In general, it adds health.

Beneficial features

It is known that a lack of potassium in our body leads to a deterioration in the functioning of the heart muscle and metabolic disorders. What is especially depressing is that it is difficult to artificially introduce potassium into the body: treatment takes a long time, since potassium, alas, is reluctantly absorbed. Moreover, there is a high probability side effects: destruction of the gastric mucosa, disruption of intestinal microflora, etc. This is where beebread comes to the rescue. This is a natural product. Potassium in it is in bound form and is initially programmed to saturate the body. That's why healing effect immediately noticeable: blood vessels they become elastic, plaques dissolve, cerebral circulation improves, and the microflora is restored. At the same time, metabolism improves.

Good to know

  • Bee bread should be stored in tightly closed glass jars in a dry place. In a damp room, medicinal raw materials quickly become unusable and can even acquire dangerous toxic properties.
  • You should not drink bee bread and drink liquid for half an hour after taking it.
  • The absorption of bee bread is better under the influence of saliva, so you need to carefully dissolve it in your mouth.
  • A single dose for adults is 2-3 teaspoons, for children - 1 teaspoon.
  • Take 2 g of bee bread 1-2 times a day. In general, “bee bread” is an excellent preventive remedy for adults and children. In this case, you need to take only one dose per day, carefully dissolving it under the tongue: children 0.5 g, adults 2 g (a quarter of a teaspoon).

Royal jelly

Royal jelly produced by bees is the main food of queen bees. This is one of the most amazing products that bees produce.

Beneficial features

Royal jelly has a unique ratio of nutrients - up to 30% protein, 5.5% fat, 17% carbohydrates and about 1% minerals. The balance of these components has practically no analogues in living nature. The amino acid composition of royal jelly is similar to meat, milk, eggs, but significantly exceeds them in the content of glutamic and aspartic acids, which are vital for the proper formation and normal functioning of the brain.

Royal jelly is a strong biological stimulator of all types of metabolism: protein, carbohydrate, fat and energy. It has antibacterial, antiviral, antitumor, antispasmodic, immunomodulatory and other properties.

Increased content of iron, cobalt and nucleic acids prevents the development of anemia in both pregnant and nursing mothers and children. Due to the rich content of various substances in it royal jelly has a general tonic effect on the body, increases metabolism, improves digestion, activity of the heart and glands internal secretion.

How to use?

As a medicine, royal jelly is used fresh, 10-100 ml under the tongue or orally. It should be taken on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before meals.

Can be taken with honey syrup: 2 parts of royal jelly and 1 part of honey syrup (1 teaspoon on an empty stomach half an hour before meals).

In the form of tablets. You can form tablets from a mixture of 0.5 g of glucose, 2 drops of honey and 20 g of royal jelly. These tablets should be taken under the tongue up to 3 times a day.

Treatment with royal jelly

Treatment with royal jelly

Royal jelly is a highly nutritious product that is successfully used in the treatment of many diseases. It has a general tonic effect on the human body: improves metabolism, digestion, hematopoiesis, and heart activity. Thanks to it, strength is restored, performance increases, mood improves, and the body's resistance increases. various diseases. Royal jelly of bees is an excellent supplier of nutrients, improves mood and prevents the development of emotional disorders.

Since royal jelly causes the formation and development of living cells, normalizes the deformed structure, it is irreplaceable and very effective means in the treatment of such serious illnesses, such as polyarthritis, bronchial asthma, cirrhosis of the liver, chronic gastritis, colitis, diabetes and skin diseases. Royal jelly is useful for patients with hypertension, as it causes a persistent decrease in blood pressure. In patients with severe symptoms of hypotension, when using royal jelly, the opposite effect occurs, that is, it helps to normalize blood pressure.

Royal jelly helps increase the amount of hemoglobin and iron content in the blood serum and is therefore especially useful for patients with anemia.

It is also successfully used in pediatrics. The most significant positive results were obtained from children early age in the treatment of exhaustion caused by various reasons.

Royal jelly led to a noticeable improvement in the condition of patients in cases where conventional remedies do not have a pronounced effect. Its use alleviates the condition of women in menopause, and is also an effective remedy for reducing potency in men.

Royal jelly is especially fully absorbed by the body when absorbed by the mucous membrane sublingual area oral cavity. Thus, it very quickly enters the bloodstream and spreads throughout the body, bypassing the stomach. Royal jelly can also be taken orally, but you must drink half a glass 10 minutes before taking the drug. alkaline water. To prepare it, 1 dess. spoon baking soda bred in? glasses of boiled water.

The milk is also perfect for external use. With its help, seborrhea of ​​the facial skin, eczema, neurodermatitis and dermatoses are treated.

For some diseases, royal jelly is used in combination with other bee products, which enhances therapeutic effect this drug. So, for rheumatism and arthritis it is used complex treatment, where royal jelly is combined with bee venom. Moreover, with such therapy there is practically no relapse of the disease. Royal jelly also goes well with natural bee honey and pollen.

It must be remembered that royal jelly is contraindicated in case of Addison's disease, acute infectious diseases, adrenal gland disease, and can cause allergic reactions and sleep disturbances.

HEALING LETTERS

For ten years I was tormented by a duodenal ulcer. Those who suffer from the same illness will understand the torment I endured. And it is for them that I am writing this letter. Last summer, my husband, my daughter and I vacationed in Crimea. But I started to have an exacerbation, and there was no time for rest. One woman from service personnel our hotel brought me a remedy with honey and figs from home and forced me to take it. Within a day I felt better, but on her advice I continued the course of treatment. I later copied the recipe from her and, returning home, prepared it myself. And almost a whole year has passed since the ulcer has not bothered me. Here is the recipe: mix natural honey and aloe juice (100 g each), add chopped fresh figs (50 g) and 5 g of royal jelly. The mixture should be allowed to brew for 3-4 days in a dark place, and then take 1 tbsp. spoon in the morning and evening an hour after meals for a month. This mixture is also useful for preventive purposes - in spring and autumn. Store only in the refrigerator.

Not as well known as honey, bee pollen is an equally useful gift of nature. The specificity of this product allows us to call bee bread “bee bread”. It is quite close in composition to pollen, as it is obtained during its processing. The color of beebread depends on the flowers and pollen with which it was made, which is why it looks multi-colored. The color varies from yellow to dark brown.

Types of bee bread

In the honeycomb

The most common and natural look- in honeycombs. The trouble is that there is a lot of wax in such a product, and only half of this mass is beebread itself. A significant disadvantage of this variety is its short shelf life. But it contains the highest quality bee bread. Considering that it has a musty smell by definition, it can be difficult to tell when it has become moldy.

In the form of a paste

Ground beebread is also available in the form of a paste. This is ground honeycomb beebread with a thirty percent admixture of honey. This species has an unpresentable appearance and is not suitable for everyone due to the fact that it contains honey. And there is only a third of the beebread itself.

In granules

Granulated beebread is another matter. This species has already been cleaned from honeycombs and is provided in hexagonal prism-shaped granules.

Secrets of beebread formation

The pollen is tightly compressed in the honeycomb and undergoes a process of fermented milk fermentation. The end result of such fermentation is the transformation of pollen grains into “Bread”. The final product acquires a set of microelements with high biological value and antimicrobial properties.

Education process

  1. Cleaning pollen from its body, the bee moistens it with its salivary secretions, in combination with nectar.
  2. They place the resulting mixture, called “obnozhka,” in the baskets of their hind legs.
  3. They compact these pollen with their heads in the honeycombs, after which they pour honey.
  4. After this, the aforementioned fermentation process takes place.

Composition of bee bread

The variety of vitamins stored in beebread consists of representatives of groups A, C, P, and E. It consists of 40% potassium, 25% magnesium, 17% each of calcium and iron. If you look at the composition of microelements, it contains quite a lot of sugar - almost 35%, proteins 21.7%, lactic acid 3.1%, mineral components 2.4%, and fats only 1.6%.

Bee bread and other bee products

Comparison: Bee bread vs pollen

It is worth understanding that pollen is the primary product of beebread, therefore their microelements have an excellent composition.

However, both elements apply in medicinal purposes.

Comparison: Royal jelly vs beebread

Royal jelly is nothing more than a by-product of bee activity. Royal jelly and honey have nothing in common in their origin. It is produced exclusively by young bees. And it is used to fill the honeycombs where the eggs are laid. It will also be given as food to the larvae from which queen bees will grow. It can help solve many health problems. Has no age restrictions.

Royal jelly Perga
  • tuberculosis;
  • gastrointestinal problems;
  • brucellosis;
  • arthritis;
  • Parkinson's disease.

It has unique property normalization of not only blood pressure, but also the activity of many organs of the body.

Milk is often placed under the tongue, since this is the most effective method of application.

  • eliminates damage to the body;
  • speeds up metabolism;
  • useful for improving overall well-being.

The honeycomb bee bread is chewed, and the granules are swallowed in the required quantities.

Preheating bee bread, just like freezing it, is absolutely prohibited! It can be used by both old people and children.

The benefits of honey and bee bread

Perga Honey
  • Excellently restores microflora and intestinal mucosa, promotes cerebral circulation, treats children's food allergies.
  • Helps men correct problems with potency and infertility.
  • It is even difficult for pregnant women to do without beebread. It has a beneficial effect on the development of the fetus, prevents miscarriages and toxicosis.
  • In addition, it is useful for accelerating the restoration of blood and strength in postpartum time women in labor, increases lactation.
  • Bee honey can simplify the treatment of many diseases, and even cure some of them on its own.
  • Honey is absorbed very quickly by the body, as it does not require long digestion. Bee honey is a frequent guest of tea drinking, as it replaces sugar without having so many harmful substances.
  • Honey is also often used in folk medicine, where it occupies a place of honor.
  • It is useful for diseases of the respiratory tract, kidneys, heart, digestive system and neuroses.

Use of bee bread for medicinal purposes

First of all, bee bread is an absolutely safe, natural anabolic steroid. It is impossible to produce such a product in any other way than by bees. It stores great amount monosaccharides and vitamins.

In addition, there is a wide range of enzymes and lactic acid fermentation products.

Applicable in case:

  • gastritis;
  • ulcers;
  • hepatitis A;
  • allergies;
  • heart problems;
  • circulatory disorders.

It also helps with memory problems and even gynecological difficulties. It treats many diseases and also has a tonic effect.

  1. The first thing you should pay attention to when buying bee bread, in addition to how it looks, is its smell. It must be musty.
  2. Its characteristic taste is a contradiction of sweet and sour tastes, with a hint of bitterness.
  3. As for the color, it should not be the same type. Each granule must have different shades, akin to an amber stone. The color range, like honey, ranges between yellow and brown.

You can also choose from the market, but this, alas, often leads to the risk of purchasing an unscrupulous product. Specialized stores eliminate this risk, which is especially important for those who purchase bee bread for the first time.

Choose only the best beekeeping products that will improve the health of you and your loved ones!

Honey and beebread

Since beebread itself is somewhat bitter, it is recommended to mix it with honey, especially since the latter significantly enhances its beneficial properties.

How to take beebread with honey?

If you take this mixture correctly, it helps normalize the endocrine system, improve metabolism and increase growth. Bee bread granules are mixed with honey in a ratio of 1 to 1. It is not recommended to heat treat the resulting product. Should be taken after meals.

Zabrus and bee bread

Caps are wax caps that bees use to seal the honeycombs. It's a little more than just beeswax. It has a huge range useful qualities, helps with allergic reactions, hay fever, asthma. To increase its medicinal properties, it is recommended to mix it with beebread.

How to take beebread with zabrus?

Zabrus is accepted by chewing method. To treat the gastrointestinal tract, it is recommended to swallow one spoon of zabrus and one spoon of bee bread.

Description

Recently, one product produced by the honey bee has begun to attract the attention of scientists - beebread, which bees prepare from pollen.

Pollen flowering plants consists of many pollen grains (Fig. 7).

Rice. 7. Pollen grains. various plants(enlarged): 1 - zucchini; 2 - rhododendron; 3 - daisies; 4 - dandelion; 5 - mallows; 6 -- pine trees; 7 - lilies; 8-nasturtium

The size of pollen grains varies in different plants from 0.01 to 0.25 mm. The grain has a double shell of fiber and contains protoplasm and two nuclei inside. Each plant's pollen grains have their own color, shape and size. By looking at the pollen in the honeycombs, you can determine which plants the bees collected nectar from. The surface of pollen grains is uneven and often sticky, so pollen easily sticks to the bee's body.

Bees collect pollen using mouthparts, legs and hairs covering the bee's body. When collecting pollen, bees moisten it with nectar, mix it with saliva and in special recesses. hind legs(baskets) they transfer it to the hive, place it in honeycomb cells and compact it. The chemical composition of pollen from different plants is different. The pollen of many plants contains water (5-35%), silicon, sulfur, copper, cobalt, sodium, iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, barium, silver, zinc, chromium, strontium, etc. Pollen contains various proteins and free amino acids, many vitamins, especially A, B1, B2, C, B6, nicotinic acid, folic acid, biotin, pantothenic acid, etc.

Bees collect pollen mostly in the morning, when dust particles burst in flowers and therefore pollen collection is easier. At one time, a bee transfers up to 20 mg of pollen to the hive. The bees fill each cell with pollen about 2/3, and pour honey on top. Deprived of access to air, pollen undergoes fermentation due to enzymes in the saliva of bees and honey and turns into the so-called bee bread - pergu (“bread”). During fermentation, the amount of proteins and fats in bee bread decreases, but the amount of lactic acid and carbohydrates increases. The changes occurring in beebread are similar to the ensiling of plant feed. The resulting lactic acid and a large amount of sugar prevent the development of bacteria and molds in the bee bread, as a result of which it can remain unchanged in the hive for a long time. Thus, although bees prepare bee bread from pollen, their qualitative and quantitative composition is not uniform, the main difference between bee bread and pollen is that the constituent parts of bee bread are more easily absorbed by living organisms (for example, bees). The comparative chemical composition of pollen and beebread is given in Table. 5.

Pollen and beebread are essential protein, mineral and vitamin food for larvae and adult bees. When eating bee bread, nurse bees produce in their pharyngeal glands royal jelly, which is fed to young larvae and the queen. To raise one worker bee, up to 120 mg of pollen and beebread is needed. Bees collect pollen most intensively in spring and early summer, when the family is raising greatest number brood.

The richness of nutrients, vitamins and microelements in bee bread and pollen prompted researchers to test bee bread and pollen as medicinal agents.

Pollen (1-2 tablespoons) per pure form or mixed with beebread and honey, given to anemic children. At the same time, they very quickly noted increase in red blood cell count, hemoglobin, improved general state. A positive effect was obtained from taking pollen and bee bread by patients recovering from severe infectious diseases. In such patients, appetite and weight were restored more quickly, and blood returned to normal.

When taken orally, bee bread mixed with honey (1:1 ratio) improves intestinal function and the general condition of the body.

In the German Democratic Republic children in need enhanced nutrition , give honey along with butter, pollen and beebread. Bee bread and pollen contain a lot of vitamin A (20 times more than carrots). It is not for nothing that bee bread is used in the GDR as a raw material for the industrial production of vitamin A.

Produced in Yugoslavia Vitaflor drug, which is a suspension of flower pollen in honey. The drug is recommended as a rich source of various vitamins.

There are attempts to treat patients with initial stages hypertension a combination of pollen and honey, taken in a ratio of 1: 1 or 1: 2.

Under experimental conditions it was found that alcohol extract of bee bread has a pronounced bactericidal effect against a wide variety of microorganisms. The latter gave rise to work to study the possible use of ointments containing bee bread in the treatment of various wounds. Such work is carried out, for example, at the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute.

Purified bee bread can be obtained as follows: cut off the cells with beebread to the base of the honeycomb. Fill the bee bread along with the waxy walls of the cells with water. glass jar and stir. The wax floats, but the beebread remains at the bottom. Then the water is drained, the bee bread is dried and filled with honey. In this form it lasts for a very long time. Since beebread has a bitter taste, it is better to administer it with honey.

Currently developed effective ways collecting pollen from flowering plants, as well as a method of collecting pollen from bees. From one bee colony you can get per day 100 g flower pollen.

The beneficial effect of pollen and bee bread on certain diseases, as well as the comparative ease of obtaining them, indicate that these products honey bee are promising in the sense using them as medicinal products.

Royal jelly

Working bees produce special highly nutritious substances with their pharyngeal glands, which they feed the larva of the future queen (Fig. 8).

Rice. 8. Diagram of the location of glands in the head and chest of a worker bee: 1 - pharyngeal gland; 2- mandibular gland; 3 - maxillary gland; 4 - pharynx; 5 - esophagus; 6 - proboscis

This substance and called royal jelly. Royal jelly of bees is prepared from bee bread.

Bees place an egg intended for breeding a queen in a special wax cell of an acorn shape - queen cell, which is filled with royal jelly (Fig. 9).

Rice. 9. General form queen cell

The larva of the future queen literally floats in the royal jelly of the queen cell. Royal jelly is also present in ordinary cells in which worker bees and drones are hatched, but in much smaller quantities (100 times less than in the queen cell). The larvae of worker bees also receive royal jelly, but only in the first three days of their life, while the larvae of the queen are intensively fed with milk during the first five days of life and then in the spring and summer, when intensive egg laying occurs.

The milk with which the larvae of worker bees are fed is somewhat different in chemical composition from the milk of queen bees. That's why worker bee jelly sometimes simply called bee jelly, and milk intended for feeding uterus, - uterine milk.

For medical purposes, royal jelly is obtained from unsealed queen cells, laid by bees in the summer, when selecting queens from them. Recently, special apiaries have begun to be created to obtain royal jelly in large quantities. From one bee colony you can get 40-80 queen cells. Most often, royal jelly is collected from four-day-old larvae. From each queen cell you can get about 0.3-0.4 g of milk. To get 200 g of royal jelly, you need to have at least half a million queen cells.

The amount of royal jelly depends on plenty of food bees protein food, i.e. pollen and beebread, as well as the number of young nurse bees. Professor T.V. Vinogradova recommends that in order to increase the amount of royal jelly in the queen cells, a month before receiving royal jelly, start feeding the bees sugar syrup with baker's yeast (5%), which is rich in protein and vitamins.

Obtaining royal jelly in large quantities presents certain difficulties, since bees lay new queen cells in a colony with an old queen or in an orphaned one. Therefore, to get a lot of queen cells, it is necessary to remove the uterus from the family. Currently, beekeepers have developed several methods that can be used to force bees to lay more queen cells. These methods are described in special literature on beekeeping.

The Adler Fruit and Vegetable State Farm has developed a method for raising queen bees in artificial queen cells. In 1962, the state farm collected more than 10 kg of royal jelly.

Collecting royal jelly with a special spoon into clean test tubes, doused inside with molten wax (Fig. 10).

Rice. 10. Collector and spoon for collecting royal jelly from queen cells

At the end of collection, the tubes are hermetically sealed with wax, since when large amounts of air are exposed, milk relatively quickly loses its valuable properties.

Chemical composition of royal jelly

Fresh royal jelly(“royal jelly”) is a yellowish-brown liquid with a creamy consistency and sour taste. At room temperature and in the light, royal jelly turns yellow and dries out, so it is snored at temperatures close to zero degrees. Under these conditions, it does not lose its properties for three months. Thus, royal jelly is less persistent than other honey bee products.

The chemical composition of royal jelly is very complex.. It contains 65% water, 14-18% proteins, 9-19% carbohydrates (sugars), 1.7-5.7% fats, growth factors, sex hormones, mineral salts, trace elements, many vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12, B3, C, H, PP, folic acid). Of the microelements in royal jelly, the most interesting are iron, manganese, zinc and cobalt, since these substances are necessary for normal hematopoiesis. The presence of zinc in royal jelly determines its stimulating effect on the reproductive glands of queen bees.

Found in royal jelly series biologically active substances , for example, acetylcholine and the enzyme that destroys it is cholinesterase.

In terms of nutritional value, royal jelly of bees significantly superior cow's milk . Royal jelly of bees is 5 times more than cow's milk, contains proteins, 4-6 times more carbohydrates, 2-3 times more fat. Royal jelly also contains significantly more vitamins than cow's milk.

Comparative data on the composition of royal jelly and cow's milk are given in table. 6.

For normal height and the development of the human body and animals requires so-called essential amino acids, i.e. those that the body cannot synthesize itself and must receive in finished form. It has been found that royal jelly contains all essential amino acids(arginine, histidine, valine, methionine, tryptophan, etc.). Royal jelly also contains proteins such as globulins (68%) and albumins (40%), which are extremely important normal components of blood. Royal jelly proteins are considered to be highly digestible. Thus, meat proteins are absorbed by the human body only by 69-74%, and royal jelly by 81%,

Although royal jelly is prepared from bee bread, it is much richer in vitamins than the original product. Thus, royal jelly contains 12-16 times more pantothenic acid and biotin than beebread. The daily human need for pantothenic acid is 10 mg, and 100 g of royal jelly contains 18-20 mg. Pantothenic acid is currently recommended for hair loss, seborrhea, as well as for the treatment of burns, long-term wounds and ulcers. Therefore, it is no coincidence that royal jelly preparations are used in the form of creams in the treatment of certain skin diseases. 100 g of royal jelly contains 0.16-0.4 mg of biotype, which is necessary for normal exchange fat

The quantitative content of vitamins in royal jelly, according to various authors, is given in table. 7.

The enrichment of royal jelly with vitamins in comparison with the original product - bee bread, obviously occurs due to the pharyngeal glands of worker bees.

Some authors explain high biological activity Royal jelly compared to bees high content it contains vitamins, especially pantothenic acid, and the presence of essential amino acids. There is 1.3 more pantothenic acid in royal jelly than in bee jelly. According to some reports, royal jelly has radioactive properties.

Royal jelly has bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects, i.e. the ability to stop the reproduction and growth of many bacteria and even kill them. Strength antimicrobial action Royal jelly can be shown with the following example: when diluted tenfold, royal jelly has a stronger effect on microbes than carbolic acid. The antimicrobial effect of royal jelly extends to staphylococci, streptococci, tubercle bacilli, etc. The effect of royal jelly on microbes depends on its concentration: in a dilution of 1:1000, royal jelly inhibits the growth of many bacteria, and in a dilution of 1:10,000, on the contrary, it accelerates the growth of microorganisms.

It has been established that the antimicrobial effect of royal jelly is due to the presence in it decahydroxy-?2-decenoic acid, which enters the royal jelly with the juice of the maxillary glands of worker bees.

Due to its antimicrobial properties, royal jelly withstands long-term storage, without being subjected to putrefactive and fermentation processes.

Recently, royal jelly has been found to contain nucleic acids: ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). RNA is contained in relatively large quantities not only in fresh royal jelly, but is also preserved in it during long-term storage. DNA is found only in native royal jelly. Enzymes that take part in the metabolism of nucleic acids have also been isolated from royal jelly. The authors (A. N. Melnichenko, Yu. D. Vavilov, 1969) believe that RNA and DNA of royal jelly play a major role in the mechanisms of various morphogenesis when feeding bees with royal jelly.

Pollen grains, pieces of wax, scraps of larval skin, etc. can be found as impurities in royal jelly. The presence of these impurities indicates on the naturalness of royal jelly.

The truth of royal jelly can also be installed in the following way: Place 32 mg of fresh royal jelly in a 25 ml beaker, add 10 ml of cooled boiled water and stir with a glass rod for 5-7 minutes. Pipette 2 ml of the resulting aqueous solution royal jelly, pour it into a test tube and add 1 ml of 20% sulfuric acid. Mix the contents of the test tube and add one drop of 1/10 to the mixture normal solution potassium permanganate having pink color. If the milk is natural, then after 2-4 seconds. Potassium permanganate will become discolored due to decahydroxy-?2-decenoic acid.

A study of the biology of the bee colony has revealed a certain relationship between royal jelly and the growth of the royal larva. It turned out that under the influence of royal jelly the larva of the uterus grows and develops very quickly (in 6 days it increases in weight 2700 times). In addition, the uterus is very fertile if it is intensively fed with royal jelly (the queen bee lays 1500 eggs per day, i.e., an amount that is twice the weight of the uterus). The queen's lifespan is 3-5 years, while worker bees that do not receive royal jelly live 1-8 months.

From this it was concluded that the increased fertility of the queen bee, her fast development And long duration life associated with royal jelly, which the future uterus intensively feeds.

The effect of royal jelly on the body and its use for medicinal purposes

The amazing properties of royal jelly have attracted the attention of many researchers, including medical workers. The thought arose whether it would be possible to use stimulating effect of royal jelly bees on the metabolism of other animals and humans.

The medicinal properties of royal jelly were first noticed by the French agronomist Kailas. In 1953, he published the book “Bees - the source of youth and life.” It contains the author’s own observations, who writes that the use of royal jelly creates feeling of youth and vigor.

From this time on, experimental and clinical work began to elucidate the mechanism of action of royal jelly on the body of animals and humans and to use it as a medicinal drug.

Experiments on animals have shown that under the influence of royal jelly the amount of hemoglobin in the blood increases and red blood cells, the fur becomes thicker and shiny, the life expectancy of animals and their fertility increases. In young chickens, egg production increases, and in old chickens, egg production is restored.

The beneficial effect of royal jelly on the blood obviously depends on the presence of vitamin B12. The increase in animal fertility under the influence of royal jelly is explained by the stimulating effect of hormonal substances contained in royal jelly on the gonads.

Since 1955, testing of royal jelly for medicinal purposes on humans began in France and Italy. Milk was prescribed in dried form (20-100 mg) in lozenges under the tongue or as intramuscular injections of 5-20 mg per injection.

Royal jelly has been found to be very beneficial as general tonic exhausted and weakened patients after suffering serious illnesses, as well as when the body is weakened due to aging. Such patients developed an appetite, increased weight, and became cheerful and cheerful.

In the USSR, royal jelly preparations have now been obtained and tested for administration under the tongue in the form of tablets and in the form of suppositories for administration into the rectum.

Good results were obtained by Dr. Z.I. Lebedeva (2nd Moscow Medical Institute) when prescribing royal jelly to children with low nutrition (hypotrophy). These children differed from normal ones in their small height and weight, poor appetite, pale skin, bad sleep, lethargy, apathy. Royal jelly literally transformed children in a few days. They became cheerful, mobile, appetite appeared, and weight increased. The blood returned to normal and the skin acquired normal elasticity. Similar results were obtained in clinics of Ryazan medical institute etc. Currently, the experience of these clinics has become very widespread.

Royal jelly prescribed to children in the form of suppositories 3 times a day for 7 - 15 days. The dose of the drug depends on the age of the child: for premature and newborns - 2.5 mg, for children older than a month - 5 mg.

Royal jelly normalizes blood pressure, therefore can be used in some cases to increase or, conversely, decrease blood pressure in adults.

Soviet doctors observed good healing effect of royal jelly with angina pectoris (angina pectoris) and after suffered a heart attack heart muscle. Patients received 1 tablet (10-15 mg of royal jelly) 2-4 times a day for 2-4 weeks. Under the influence of royal jelly, patients not only experienced fewer attacks, but sometimes disappeared, their general condition improved, and interruptions in heart activity disappeared. Treatment results were generally durable.

Currently, there is information that royal jelly causes improvement in the condition of patients with malignant tumors(eg cancer). This one is very interesting side The effects of royal jelly are now being studied in detail. It is assumed that anticancer effect royal jelly is due to its radioactive properties.

It has been established that royal jelly has a beneficial effect on certain mental illness accompanied by phenomena of oppression. A good effect is observed when royal jelly is prescribed to women with mental disorders during the period of suppression of the activity of the gonads (menopause).

Most researchers note the beneficial effect of royal jelly on older people. Under the influence of royal jelly, they will experience general vitality, the amount of cholesterol in the blood decreases, memory and vision improve, metabolism increases, etc. The mechanism of action of royal jelly in this case is obviously associated with tonic effect of royal jelly on the endocrine glands, including the gonads. Considering the tonic effect of royal jelly on the sex glands, it can be assumed that it will find application in the treatment of certain types of infertility. Work in this direction is already underway.

It is noteworthy that the majority healthy people(60% of those examined) do not react at all to taking royal jelly (doses of 15-20 mg), 40% of the subjects have a state of excitement (euphoria), and sometimes insomnia.

Royal jelly has the most permanent effect on fatigue, leading to increased physical and mental performance.

According to some authors (O. S. Radobil, A. P. Kalinina), royal jelly contains a small amount bee venom(up to 3%), which gave reason to test it in the treatment of patients with rheumatism, stomach ulcers, etc. Encouraging results were obtained.

Therapeutic effect royal jelly is based on it nonspecific action. Due to the rich content of a wide variety of substances in royal jelly (protein substances, microelements, as well as a whole complex of vitamins, especially the B complex), it has a general tonic effect on the body, increases metabolism, improves hematopoiesis, digestion, activity of the heart, endocrine glands, etc. .

Research by Czech scientists has established that royal jelly has tonic effect on some centers of the hypothalamus, as a result of which the production of arenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) increases in the pituitary gland. Under the influence of ACTH, the adrenal glands synthesize more hormones of the glucocorticoid group, which have a versatile effect on the human body.

Abroad, royal jelly is widely used in the perfume industry for the production of so-called “anti-aging” creams, elixirs, emulsions and ointments.

In the USSR, a cream containing 0.6% royal jelly was produced at the Institute of Medical Cosmetics. Testing the cream on people with increased fat content facial skin, flabby and flabby skin, etc. showed that most of them as a result of using royal jelly cream The elasticity of the skin increased, oiliness decreased and fine wrinkles disappeared. At the same time, it was discovered that some people cannot tolerate royal jelly - this was expressed in the appearance of long-lasting red spots on the skin.

The domestic perfume industry currently produces a number of face creams with royal jelly. For example, Nectar cream, which is recommended as the best skin tonic. It must be remembered that effect of cosmetic creams depends largely on their correct use. Before applying the cream to the skin, it is better to make a hot compress. To do this, moisten a clean napkin in hot water, squeeze and apply to face for 2-3 minutes. A hot compress expands the blood vessels and pores of the skin, which promotes better absorption and, consequently, the effect of the cream.

Royal jelly how remedy currently used in the following form:

1. Native (fresh) royal jelly 10-100 ml under the tongue or orally on an empty stomach for 30 minutes. or an hour before meals.

2. Native royal jelly with honey syrup: for 250 mg of royal jelly, 100-120 g of honey syrup, 1 teaspoon is prescribed on an empty stomach 30 minutes before meals.

3. Native royal jelly with 40% alcohol (vodka) in a ratio of 1:2 is prescribed 5-10 drops 3-4 times a day 1.5 hours before meals,

4. Mixture: 0.5 g of glucose, 1-2 drops of honey and 20 mg of fresh royal jelly in the form of soft tablets 2-3 times a day under the tongue.

5. Ready-made domestic preparation of masterbatch milk-apilak(in the form of tablets for lozenges under the tongue and powder for making suppositories). The drug is stored in a dry place, protected from light, in jars with ground stoppers, at a temperature not exceeding 8°.

The following are issued abroad royal jelly preparations: 1) apiserum (bee serum) -< ампульный препарат, содержащий в каждой ампуле по 5 мл раствора маточного молочка; 2) апифортиль - препарат маточного молочка в капсулах по 200 мг; 3) апинтовил; 4) апиоик.

Manufactured in some countries medicinal preparations, containing not only royal jelly, but also other honey bee products. For example, in Yugoslavia the following preparations are produced: vitamel (500 g of honey and 1 g of royal jelly), royalvit (suspension of 0.4% royal jelly with the addition of 4% pollen and honey).

In the listed combinations of royal jelly with other substances, a mutually reinforcing effect of their action is observed, which gives grounds to expand the indications for their use.

It should be noted that the issue of the medicinal use of royal jelly has not been completely resolved. Existing materials are not yet sufficient for its widespread use.

When prescribing royal jelly preparations, it should be taken into account that it cannot be used for diseases of the adrenal glands and acute infectious diseases.

Among the patients there are faces with hypersensitivity to royal jelly. Such people experience sleep disturbance when taking royal jelly, which requires immediate discontinuation of the drug.

All of the above once again indicates that the prescription of royal jelly requires a preliminary thorough examination of the patient by a doctor and in no case can be done by the patient on their own.

Further study of the chemical composition and biological action Royal jelly promises interesting prospects in the field of its use as a remedy.
