Royal jelly: how to choose a good product and protect yourself from counterfeiting?

Royal jelly is a product of natural origin, unique in its properties, produced by the salivary glands of nursing bees. Due to its incredibly valuable composition (fructose, proteins, hormones, minerals), royal jelly is considered not only useful, but medicinal and the demand for it is constantly growing.

By the way, about its collection. This procedure is rather complicated, laborious and requires compliance with special temperature conditions, since daylight and heat are destructive for 'royal jelly' and after a couple of hours after removal from the cells of the mother liquor, it loses its properties. Such difficulties not only affect the price of the product, but also lead to a considerable number of counterfeits.

In order to choose a really worthwhile drug and not accidentally stumble upon a fake, it is first of all necessary to understand in what form royal jelly can be delivered to the end consumer. Once collected, it can be stored as follows:

1. Frozen – immediately after harvesting, 'royal jelly' is a jelly-like mass with a specific smell and sour taste. This is exactly what the frozen product should be, since frozen royal jelly is sold mainly by beekeepers (almost immediately from the apiary). The question is that it is not so easy to check its quality. Ask the seller for a certificate of quality or buy 'royal jelly' only from trusted beekeepers.
2. Canned – It is not easy to prolong the 'vitality' of royal jelly, and honey is an excellent preservative that allows you to literally 'seal' all the valuable components. The question is that the content of the required component in honey will be scanty 2%. It is also difficult to check for the presence of 'royal jelly' in honey. This can be done only by external and taste characteristics. Honey should have a bitter / sour taste, light yellow, almost white (but not white!) Color.
3. Adsorbed – in simple words, excess moisture is removed from the product, after which it is mixed with an adsorbent in a ratio of 1: 4. The adsorbed royal jelly is sold mainly through pharmacies, which usually request documents confirming the quality. Therefore, the likelihood of purchasing a low-quality drug is minimal.
4. Lyophilized – in the process of lyophilization, the most concentrated of all the options listed is obtained. Accordingly, the amount of valuable components obtained at a time is the greatest and the course of taking the drug is minimal. Manufacturers of lyophilized milk preparations always confirm their quality with certificates.
