- Some people buy single bee
products like royal jelly or bee
pollen. This is fine, however, a
better alternative in our opinion is
to use 'combination' bee products
that contain 'ALL FOUR'
beehive products in one capsule, not
just 1, 2 or 3. According to Rita
Elkins MH, author of the best
selling beehive book "Healing
from the Hive" - a 'special
synergy exists when taking all four
products from the beehive together'.
This makes good sense when you
examine the nutritional content of
each of the four beehive substances.
Only when combining all four do you
receive the full spectrum of
nutrition. Products that combine all
four beehive substances include (we
have other options to)
2
- The next comparison should be 'potency'.
By this we mean the amount of
'active ingredient' that you receive
per capsule. From 4 capsules of
"Total Bee Plus" you will
receive the following ingredient:
-
Royal
Jelly - 2400mg
-
Bee
Pollen - 1600mg
-
Bee
Propolis - 800mg
-
Honey
- 200mg
No
other product offers you this amount
of active ingredient - these are
highly effective dosages, offering
you much more of what is good for
you, with an excellent dosage of the
crown jewel of the beehive - Royal
Jelly, by far the most
impressive of the four beehive
products.

- Next - compare the number of
capsules per bottle. Products
like 'Total Bee Plus' provide
excellent value, containing 120
capsules per bottle. These are not
'bovine' or animal derived gelatin
that most suppliers use. They are
vegetable derived capsules - 120 per
bottle for at least a one month
supply.
4
- Next is
quality.
Look for products that are produced
from the finest raw material
available and in licensed and
regulated facilities. There are many
bee keepers around that try to
package their own product and sell
them directly to the public. This
may be possible with honey, which is
a substance that is easy to handle
and has natural preservative
properties, but it is NOT generally
possible with a substance like royal
jelly, which decomposes very quickly
and is prone to contamination.
Also,
there are many companies importing
bulk royal jelly products that have
already been capsulated, mostly from
China. These products can be sold
inexpensively, however, they are
completely unregulated and could be
harmful to your health. Royal
Jelly is a volatile substance and it
needs to be handled and processed
correctly. It needs to be processed
within 1/2 hours of leaving the
beehive. It then needs to be checked
for contaminants and potency
directly before encapsulation. When
companies import bulk, capsulated
royal jelly product from China, it
cannot be checked for potency and
contaminants as it is already in
capsule form. It is not uncommon for
the product to contain much less
active ingredient than is stated on
the label, with the product weight
made up by fillers and chemical
preservatives.
That
is why you should buy your royal
jelly products from companies whom
you can trust, companies that
process their royal jelly here in
the USA and do so in licensed and
regulated facilities, according to
eGMP standards. Products like our
fresh freeze-dried royal jelly and
'Total Bee Plus' have not
been 'mixed in a bucket' out in the
yard. They are high potency, fresh,
pure products, free from
contaminants and unwanted chemicals.

-The next consideration is price.
If you are looking for bee products,
particularly ones that contain royal
jelly, you must be very careful when
considering price. These substances
do not grow on trees, nor are they
vegetable roots that can be pulled
out of the ground quickly and
easily. The process of collecting
the hive substances is very
elaborate and time consuming. So
when you see a product that contains
120 capsules, and is only $10.00 -
be concerned that this is a genuine
product that is exactly as described
on the label - in many cases it may
not be. As mentioned in section 4
above, many companies use low grade,
low potency imports that may not
contain what is described on the
label. Furthermore they may be
contaminated and in some instances,
harmful to your health.
Compare
the potency/cost of our capsules
against those of our competitors and
you will be amazed at what we offer.

Fresh
vs Freeze-Dried
Royal Jelly, what is the
difference, which is best?
Fresh
liquid royal jelly contains
approximately 67% water and must be
kept refrigerated or frozen. Like
any other product containing that
amount of water, it is perishable
and has a shelf life of about one
year if refrigerated.
Freeze-drying,
also known as lyophilizing, is a
dehydration process which removes
the water from a substance by
exposure to dry, freezing air. No
heat or chemicals are involved.
Lyophilized royal jelly is a
freeze-dried powder in which all
the nutrients of fresh royal jelly
are still present. In this state it
can be stored at room temperature
and thus has more uses and a longer
shelf life, three years.
Certain
'marketing' companies try to make
the case that freeze dried royal
jelly is somehow inferior to liquid
royal jelly with its 67% water. This
is not the case. If the
freeze-drying process is somehow
'harmful' why do these companies
ship their liquid royal jelly in
frozen form? - Don't be duped into
spending hundreds of dollars on
products that are sold on
television, whose primary focus is
attractive packaging. Many of these
products are low-potency and have
insufficient active ingredient to
make a positive difference to your
health. Because of the high cost of
TV advertising, these products are
sold at up to 5 times more than
their actual worth.
The
finest Royal Jelly is freeze-dried,
with all its nourishment and
benefits 'locked-in' for the
duration of its shelf life - other
types of Royal Jelly are perishable
and the potency/benefit diminishes
with normal storage.
Always
Insist on -
No
Chemicals - No Preservatives -
maximum potency - maximum freshness
