The Benefits of Bee Milk for Human Health

April 13, 2024

Bee milk is an oral preparation made from a combination of honey and royal jelly, two natural nutritional supplements. The benefits of bee milk for human health have long been recognized. As early as over 2000 years ago, our country's first medical book, "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica", listed it as a "top-grade" substance beneficial to humans. Ancient Greeks believed that honey was a "gift from the gods". Ancient Indians believed that honey could promote longevity.


Modern pharmacological analysis has shown that honey contains about 35% glucose and 40% fructose, both of which can be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body without digestion. Honey also contains various inorganic salts, vitamins, enzymes, and other substances that are similar to the serum concentration in the human body. Pharmacological analysis has determined that honey contains the highest amount of enzymes among all food sources, such as amylase, lipase, and transformation enzymes. We know that enzymes are essential substances for helping the body digest, absorb, and metabolize various substances and undergo chemical changes.


In China, honey has been used as a medicinal substance for thousands of years. Honey is a friend of the stomach and can be used to treat gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers. Regular consumption of honey can also promote bowel movement and prevent and treat constipation. In recent years, honey has been used as an auxiliary supplement for treating diseases such as hepatitis, anemia, and neurasthenia. Children in their growth and development stage can prevent and correct childhood anemia by regularly consuming honey.

Royal jelly, a component of bee milk, is a milky substance secreted by worker bees from their hypopharyngeal glands. It is a substance formed by the fermentation of nectar and pollen. Royal jelly is extremely nutritious and is the food specially used to feed the queen bee. The queen bee mainly consumes royal jelly, which can extend its lifespan to more than 5 years, more than 20 times longer than that of ordinary honeybees. Therefore, it has attracted attention from the medical community around the world in recent years. Chinese medical researchers have analyzed and determined the composition of royal jelly, finding that it contains dozens of inorganic and organic substances, including iron, potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, sugar, phospholipids, albumin, globulin, acetylcholine, various amino acids, gonadotropins, adrenaline, and various vitamins. These nutrients are all essential for the human body.


Bee milk, prepared from a combination of honey and royal jelly, contains a variety of nutrients found in honey and royal jelly. These nutrients can be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body, which is beneficial for health. Regular consumption of bee milk can improve appetite, increase body weight, relieve fatigue, promote normal bodily functions, and enhance the body's resistance to diseases. It can be used for patients with malnutrition, neurasthenia, rheumatoid arthritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, and liver diseases.
