I was picking up some honey, so I can put it in my pre-poos and conditioners. Then I saw Royal Jelly right by the honey. I was interested to figure out what it does, so I did my research. I couldn't find one thread that discuss Royal Jelly on this forum. *Shock* So I decided to google it. It comes from the bees. Why is this not compare to honey with you ladies? I also check if there were any products that contain Royal Jelly. There are skin care products out there that do. The benefits sound really nice.

Hi Blueberry, I've waited allday for a response for Your question, So I did a little research Myself, now I don't know if this will help, but I'm sure We can come to some kind of conclusion on the Benefits it may provide, Now first let Me introduce a Wikipedia version of the definition ( Now let Me state that, We all know that The big "W" is compiled of definitions from anyone Who wants to interject) so with that said, We can just maybe get the basics and later research some real History later:

Wikipedia Def.:Royal jelly is a honey bee secretion that is used in the nutrition of larvae, as well as adult queens[1]. It is secreted from the hypopharyngeal glands in the heads of worker bees, and fed to all larvae in the colony.[2]. When worker bees decide to make a new queen, either because the old one is weakening, or was killed, they choose several small larvae and feed them with copious amounts of royal jelly in specially constructed queen cells. This type of feeding triggers the development of queen morphology, including the fully developed ovaries needed to lay eggs [3].

and here My Dear is what they consider it to be Good or Used for:

Royal jelly is collected and sold as a dietary supplement, claiming various health benefits because of components like B-complexvitamins such as pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). The overall composition of royal jelly is 67% water, 12.5% crude protein (including small amounts of many different amino acids), and 11% simple sugars (monosaccharides), also including a relatively high amount (5%) of fatty acids. It also contains many trace minerals, some enzymes, antibacterial and antibiotic components, and trace amounts of vitamin C.[2] The fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E and K, are completely absent from royal jelly

With that said, My personal opinion is to believe that this can have some Good Health Benefits, but again that is just My opinion and naturally one should do much more research before trying anything New. WITH EMPHASIS ON "MUCH"!

Thank Leesh, I may have to be the test subject to do this on my hair. ( I am just going to do a strand test) That being said, hopefully I will come back with a review later in the future on it.
