ROYAL ITALIAN JELLY

It is the secretion of the pharyngeal glands of the young worker bees. It comes in the form of fluid gelatin, whitish in color, tending to yellow. It is indicated as an ``adaptogenic`` substance, which helps the body to maintain its balance despite the physical and psychic stresses that are very frequent in today's life. Royal jelly looks like a gelatinous substance, which is why it is also called ``royal jelly``. Its color is yellowish-white with pearly reflections, astringent in the mouth and with a sour taste, similar to that of yogurt, but also slightly sugary.
