 Royal jelly has been recognized for its remarkable health-giving properties for many thousands of years. Even, in Ancient Egyptian times, the best was reserved for the Pharaoh to ensure that he had a long and healthy life. Today, an old-fashioned London health shop, run by the ever-youthful 87 year-old Margaret Weesz, supplies equally high quality royal jelly, but not the usual freeze-dried and/or encapsulated product you will find on health shop shelves. Weesz's royal jelly is 100% LIVE and FRESH, and the only one directly from a monastery on the Hymettus mountains in Greece, where it is collected from the beehives by the monks themselves.
Fresh royal jelly is a powerhouse of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), enzymes, vitamins (A, B, C, C and E), minerals (potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc and manganese) and gelatine (a precursor of collagen, which might explain why those who take it believe it helps keep their skin looking smooth and youthful). It also contains globulinic acid (gamma globulin), which has been found to help increase the body's resistance to bacteria and viruses, as well as a complex compound found to feed the natural hormone balance. This concentrated nutritional profile has made Royal Jelly popular with high profile stars such as Jerry Hall and of course the late Barbara Cartland.
 Weesz herself swears by her live royal jelly, attributing it to her astonishing health and vigour. Looking far younger than her 87 years (see photo), she is a walking advertisement for the benefits of this elixir. This sprightly octogenarian still works in her shop every day, as she has done for the past forty years! Perhaps it is no coincidence that royal jelly is actually a power-packed glandular secretion made by worker bees for the sole provision of the Queen Bee to allow her to live 40 times longer than the workers and to lay up to 2,000 eggs a day! (All bee larvae are fed royal jelly for the first three days of their lives, but only the queen remains on it for her entire life.)
Cornucopia's Live Royal Jelly is available in a small glass 20g bottle, which should last approximately one month. Take a ¼ tsp of royal jelly on the tongue first thing in the morning and wash down with a warm drink.
