Royal jelly is considered to be the culmination of a natural biosynthesis due to its miraculous combination of nutritious and some other specific in-contained substances.
Royal jelly contains all elements that are indispensable for the process of growth, development and normal functioning of a human body, such as: material (proteins), energy (lipids and hydrocarbons) and inorganic (minerals) elements as well as protective substances (vitamins).

The proteins of royal jelly are represented by albumins and globulins, ranging from 2:1 to 1:1. The proteins of royal jelly contain majority of amino acids, among which are eight of them essential and indispensable ones: valine, leucine, isoleucine, threonine, phenylalanine, tryptophon, and lysine.
Glucose and fructose are main representatives of sugars. They fall within the category of reductive sugars, directly taken by the cell and used as an energy fuel, not wasting valuable insulin.
Royal jelly contains minor contents of some other sugars, such as: ribose, maltose, gentiobiose etc.
Concerning lipids contents, royal jelly contains unsaturated essential fatty acids- necessary for normal body processes.
Mineral portion of royal jelly is very rich one. Royal jelly contains all significant micro and macro-elements, such as: potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphor, magnesium, iron, zinc, sulphur, cobalt, chromium, bismuth, copper, even gold.
Royal jelly contains a certain amount of vitamins, out of which the special place belongs to B complex and panthothenic acid, whilst the portion of vitamins A, E and K is negligible one.
Royal jelly contains bio-stimulators as follows: enzymes, coenzymes, biotin, nucleic acids, free radicals etc.
