Why incorporate royal jelly as a star ingredient in food supplements formulas? What are royal jelly’s main benefits?

Royal jelly is a beehive product that is very much valued for its high minerals content, vitamins, and multiple healthy benefits.

It is a natural source of vitamins B, riboflavin, biotin, pyridoxine, inositol, thiamine, niacin, pantothenic acid, and folic acid.

The growing tendency that has been observed for years now is the consumption of natural origin products, which responds to a healthy lifestyle. On top of this, there is an increasing need for products that improve immune health, which allows us to confirm that royal jelly is the perfect ingredient: not only it has a natural origin, but it also boosts the immune system and increases defences against infections.

In many different European countries, this ingredient is also highly valued for children’s food supplements, an ingredient to be given to a whole family.

Food supplements market in Europe

France, Italy, Spain, and Germany are leaders regarding products that contain royal jelly. However, this ingredient is gaining prominence in other countries thanks to its multiple benefits.

In 2020, a total of 30 products was launched: a rising market, as we can observe in the following chart that reviews the past 3 years.
