How should you take royal jelly?
In the mornings on an empty stomach, take 1 gram of royal jelly per day. Allow it to dissolve under your tongue to best absorb it.
Keep the rest of the royal jelly in the fridge to ensure it doesn’t lose its nutritional qualities.
You can complete a 3-week course of treatment at the change of each season, or for a longer period depending on your own health.
As royal jelly has a bitter taste, you can mix it with honey.
