What is Royal Jelly
Royal jelly is a viscous substance, whitish in colour and slightly acidic in taste, which is produced by young worker bees in the hypopharyngeal glands. Its main function is to feed the larvae in their first days of life and, exclusively, the queen bee throughout her life.
This substance is key to the development and longevity of the queen bee, who can live up to five years, in contrast to worker bees who live only a few weeks.
The importance of bees
Ecosystem balance
Bees play a fundamental role in the balance of ecosystems and life on Earth.
Their importance lies in their function as pollinators, as more than 75% of the world’s food crops depend to some extent on insect pollination, with bees being primarily responsible for this process. By transporting pollen from one flower to another, they enable plants to reproduce, ensuring the production of fruits and seeds, which are essential not only for food but also for the production of food.
Plant biodiversity
Plants need pollination to reproduce and maintain their populations.
If bees disappear, many plants would cease to produce fruit and seeds, which would significantly reduce the diversity of plant species. This impact extends to wildlife, as many animals such as birds, mammals and other insects depend on plants for food and shelter. The disappearance of bees could trigger a domino effect affecting the entire food chain.
Health benefits *
Strengthens the immune system
Royal jelly contains a large amount of antioxidants and bioactive proteins that stimulate the immune system, helping the body to defend itself against infection and disease. These components help fight oxidative damage and promote the production of antibodies.
Natural energiser
Thanks to its high concentration of nutrients such as B vitamins, minerals and amino acids, royal jelly is an excellent revitaliser that improves energy levels and reduces fatigue. This makes it an ideal supplement for people looking to boost their physical and mental performance.
Improves skin health
Royal jelly is popular in skin care because of its regenerative properties. It contains collagen and antioxidant compounds that help fight premature ageing, improving skin elasticity and hydration. It also promotes wound healing and can reduce skin inflammation.
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
Studies have shown that royal jelly has anti-inflammatory effects that can help reduce chronic inflammation, linked to diseases such as arthritis or cardiovascular disorders. In addition, its high antioxidant content combats oxidative stress, a key factor in cellular ageing and the development of disease.
Supporting the cardiovascular system
Consuming royal jelly can support heart health by improving blood cholesterol levels. Research has shown that it can reduce ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL) and increase ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL), which reduces the risk of heart disease.
Hormone balancing and fertility support
Royal jelly is believed to have a positive effect on hormone balance, particularly in women. It can help regulate menstrual cycles and has been used in natural fertility treatments, due to its properties to improve egg quality.
Improved cognitive function
Thanks to its fatty acid and antioxidant content, royal jelly has been linked to improved memory and cognitive function. Some studies suggest that it may have a protective role against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
* While royal jelly may offer several benefits, it is important to note that some people may be allergic to it, especially those with allergies to pollen, honey or bee stings.
It is always advisable to consult a specialist before starting consumption, especially if you have an underlying health condition or are taking medication.
Quality royal jelly

Fresh royal jelly
Jelly in its fresh state retains all its beneficial properties: it is a natural energiser, stimulates the immune system, improves vitality and mood, and can contribute to better skin and general health. It is therefore recommended to keep it refrigerated and consume it in small doses to take advantage of all its nutritional benefits.
Freeze-dried jelly
It is obtained by a process called freeze-drying, which allows fresh royal jelly to be dehydrated without losing its nutritional properties. This method consists of freezing the royal jelly at very low temperatures and then removing the water through a sublimation process, i.e. the water goes from solid (ice) to vapour directly, without passing through the liquid state.
This process ensures that the essential nutrients in royal jelly, such as proteins, vitamins, enzymes and amino acids, are optimally preserved. By reducing the water content, freeze-dried royal jelly is much more stable and has a longer shelf life, without the need for refrigeration. It is also easier to handle and transport, as it can be presented in the form of ampoules, PET bottles or capsules, making it easier to consume and dose.
Freeze-drying is a technique that preserves the quality of royal jelly, making it ideal for those looking to enjoy its benefits in a more practical and long-lasting way.
10-HDA
This stands for ‘10-hydroxy-2-decanoic acid’, a unique component of royal jelly, which is not found in any other natural substance. It is an unsaturated fatty acid to which many of the beneficial properties of royal jelly are attributed.
Among the benefits of 10-HDA, the following stand out:
Immunomodulatory properties: it helps strengthen the immune system, contributing to the body’s defence against infection and disease.
- Antioxidant effects: Protects cells from damage caused by free radicals, helping to prevent premature ageing and various degenerative diseases.
- Anti-inflammatory action: 10-HDA has been shown to have the ability to reduce inflammation, which may be useful in the treatment of problems such as arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
- Antibacterial and antiviral properties: 10-HDA is effective in fighting certain types of bacteria and viruses, which reinforces the protective role of royal jelly in health.
- Supporting cell development: 10-HDA is also associated with cell regeneration and growth, which may contribute to tissue repair and better skin health.
Thus, 10-HDA is a key component of royal jelly, responsible for many of its therapeutic and health-promoting effects. The higher the concentration of 10-HDA in royal jelly, the greater its potency and benefits to the body.
Robis Royal Jelly has one of the highest concentrations of 10-HDA on the market.
Glass ampoule
Undoubtedly, the best format for Royal Jelly in a top quality container such as the tempered glass of the Robis glass ampoule.
The benefits of the glass ampoule are:
- Better taste as it avoids possible interferences in the flavour compared to other materials.
- Longer shelf life due to the pasteurisation process after filling the ampoule.
- More balanced formula as less preservatives are needed.

Specific formulas
A well-formulated combination of high quality ingredients is essential to create an optimal food supplement. When these ingredients are carefully selected for their nutritional properties and combined synergistically, they enhance their benefits, providing a more effective and balanced product for overall wellbeing.
In particular, when royal jelly is used as one of the main ingredients, its effects can be greatly enhanced when combined with other natural compounds such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and plant extracts. Royal jelly is rich in essential nutrients such as 10-HDA, which strengthens the immune system, fights ageing and promotes vitality. When combined with ingredients such as:
- Vitamin C: Boosts its antioxidant capacity and reinforces cell protection.
- Ginseng extract: Increases energy and physical endurance, complementing the revitalising effect of royal jelly.
- Minerals such as zinc and magnesium: support key body functions such as cell repair and metabolic balance.
This synergistic combination ensures that the body can take full advantage of the nutrients in each component, amplifying their effects and providing comprehensive health support, from improved physical performance to a strengthened immune system.
In short, by combining quality ingredients with royal jelly with a high concentration of 10-HDA, we achieve a food supplement that not only nourishes and revitalises, but also optimises the body’s functions, offering a natural and effective solution for those seeking to improve their well-being in a holistic way.
