What are the benefits of royal jelly?

From a nutritional standpoint the main benefit of royal jelly appears to come from its high essential amino acid content. However, there are elements within its chemical composition which have not been clearly identified. Thus many people look at its impact on the queen bee and believe that these undefined elements are primarily responsible for the insects incredible growth, powers or reproduction and longevity. After all, where she fed only a substance high in amino acid content, she would not exhibit the same level of superior growth and longevity.

But what does all that mean to humans? - well, without doubt there are many people who believe in the benefits of royal jelly and take this substance on a daily basis as part of their nutritional regimen. These people claim improvements in energy, healthier hair/skin/nails, reproductive and benefits in terms of sexual function, and many more.

All that is missing from this complex equation is the necessary scientific studies to prove categorically that this substance can indeed be beneficial to our health. Well, maybe. Actually, it's only our own FDA who haven't taken the claims of thousands of individuals seriously. Other countries have tested royal jelly in clinical studies and have released clear evidence that it can be and is beneficial to human health.
