Bee milk is a traditional Chinese medicine and a health supplement. It is a milky white gelatinous substance secreted by the pharyngeal and post-pharyngeal glands of bees such as the Chinese honeybee. It has excellent nourishing, strengthening, liver-tonifying, and spleen-strengthening effects on the human body. It is commonly used in medical treatment for post-illness weakness, malnutrition in children, senility, hypertension, diabetes, and other conditions. Let's take a look at some real data from clinical trials to analyze the powerful functions of bee milk.
1. Bee Milk for the Treatment of Acute Infectious Hepatitis
According to clinical reports, oral ingestion of 1% royal jelly honey (a mixture of royal jelly and honey) was administered. Children under 4 years old took 5 grams, children aged 5-10 took 10 grams, and those over 10 years old took 20 grams. One dose was taken twice daily, and each treatment lasted for 20 days. A total of 22 cases were treated, and within 3-14 days, various symptoms significantly improved. The liver significantly reduced in size after about 3 weeks, and serum transaminase decreased by over 40 units or returned to normal after about 10 days. Various other laboratory tests showed significant improvement within 9-18 days, indicating a good effect on liver function improvement. However, during the application, it was found that a small number of cases experienced an increase in absolute eosinophil count.
2. Bee Milk for the Treatment of Chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis
According to clinical reports, 400 milligrams of bee milk were taken daily for 3-6 months. A preliminary observation was conducted on 28 cases. Among them, 7 cases showed significant improvement (improved overall condition and reduced joint pain), 3 cases showed improvement (slightly reduced joint pain), 10 cases remained stable (no improvement or acute attacks in joint pain), and 8 cases were ineffective.
3. Application of Bee Milk in Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders
According to clinical reports, bee milk was applied in the treatment of 16 cases of progressive muscular dystrophy in the field of neurology. The daily dosage ranged from 300 to 600 milligrams, and the treatment lasted for at least 2 weeks to 3 months. As a result, 3 cases showed significant improvement and 1 case showed mild improvement. In addition, 9 cases of treatment for schizophrenia, paralysis dementia, menopausal depression, neurosis, and mental retardation were conducted. The initial daily dosage was 100 milligrams and increased after 1 week. The dosage gradually increased to 800 milligrams per day, and the treatment lasted for 6-10 weeks. As a result, 1 case showed significantly increased mental activity, 2 cases showed improved mental state, and 1 case of mental retardation showed improved obedience compared to before treatment. No changes were observed in 5 cases.

(2) It is rich in vitamin B and high-quality protein, especially royal jelly acid with strong antibacterial properties, making it an effective anti-cancer medicine;

5. The Magical Effects of Royal Jelly
Royal jelly is a milky substance secreted by the hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of worker bees. It is the exclusive food for bee larvae and the queen bee. Royal jelly is milky white or pale yellow, semi-transparent, slightly viscous, and has a special aroma. It tastes sour, astringent, and slightly spicy, with a lifespan of only about three days for worker bees, as they can only consume royal jelly for that period. On the other hand, the queen bee can enjoy royal jelly throughout her life, which allows her to live for up to five to six years and lay eggs equivalent to 1.5 times her body weight every day. Royal jelly has a miraculous effect on the existence of the queen bee's life.
According to data released by Japan, the average life expectancy for Japanese men is 76 years and for women is 82 years. Japan has held the world record for the longest life expectancy for 11 consecutive years. So, what is the reason for this longevity?
A professor from Wushan University in Japan gave an explanation: "Over the past 30 years, the height and life expectancy of Japanese people have increased, thanks to royal jelly, a superfood that strengthens a nation." This statement is not an exaggeration when you think about it because the consumption of royal jelly by Japanese people has a history of 30 years and Japan is the largest consumer of royal jelly in the world. According to reports, in the 1960s, Japan consumed less than 30 tons of royal jelly per year. In the 1980s, it soared to 150 tons, reaching 226 tons in 1988 and 227 tons in 1989. Since 1992, the consumption has remained above 400 tons.
According to long-term research by Dr. Jun Hui and others in Japan, royal jelly has seven major effects on human health: preventing cancer, protecting the liver, enhancing brain function and intelligence, beautifying the skin, delaying aging, regulating blood pressure, and preventing arteriosclerosis.
In countries such as the United States, New Zealand, Singapore, and Australia, royal jelly, as a high-quality nutritional supplement, is increasingly being valued by people. China is a major beekeeping country, with an annual production of over 1,000 tons of royal jelly, accounting for over 90% of the world's total production. However, the consumption in China is less than 30% of the world's consumption, with an average per capita consumption of less than 1 gram. In contrast, Japan, which produces almost no royal jelly, consumes over 60% of the total production. Such a huge consumption difference is truly regrettable.
6. Bee Milk and Youthful Vitality
The human body needs to continuously increase and maintain an appropriate amount of hormones (sex hormones) to enhance and maintain natural beauty and youthful vitality. It is extremely important to be cautious and prudent when supplementing hormones because if synthetic hormones (sex hormones) are used, the adaptation period is long, and the side effects of drugs are significant. However, fresh bee milk contains abundant natural active adrenaline, which can regulate hormone secretion without side effects. It is a pure, natural, and uncontaminated food that promotes the secretion of sex hormones and is the best hormone supplement for youthful vitality.
