Royal Jelly – Origin, Product Forms and Useful Information
Royal jelly is one of the best-known bee products, alongside honey, propolis and bee pollen. This special substance is produced by young worker bees and serves as food for the queen bee inside the hive.
Today, royal jelly is available worldwide in different forms – as fresh royal jelly, as freeze-dried powder (lyophilized royal jelly), in capsules or as an ingredient in selected cosmetic products.
Fresh Royal Jelly, Powder or Capsules?
Different product forms are available depending on the intended use. Fresh royal jelly is the original form of this bee product and should be stored refrigerated. Royal jelly powder is produced by freeze-drying and is valued for its long shelf life and easy storage. Capsules offer a practical and pre-portioned product form.
Which option is preferred depends mainly on personal preferences and the intended use.
What Does Freeze-Dried or Lyophilized Mean?
During freeze-drying, also known as lyophilization, the natural water content of fresh royal jelly is gently removed. This creates a concentrated powder that can be stored and transported without refrigeration.
The term “lyophilized” is commonly used as a synonym for freeze-dried.
Royal jelly powder is often chosen as an alternative to fresh royal jelly because it is space-saving, has a long shelf life and can be used in many different ways.
Royal Jelly as a Natural Product
Like many other bee products, royal jelly is subject to natural variations. Colour, taste, smell and consistency may vary slightly depending on origin, harvest time and processing.
These differences are typical for natural products and do not represent a quality defect.
Storage of Royal Jelly
Fresh royal jelly should be stored refrigerated according to the product instructions. Freeze-dried royal jelly powder and capsules can generally be stored in a dry place, protected from light and at room temperature.
Please always follow the instructions on the respective product packaging.
