Royden Brown, author of the Bee Hive Product Bible (Avery, 1993), talks at length about royal jelly being "one of natures best kept secrets".

The amino acids in royal jelly are of significant interest to nutritionists. Long associated with the ability to fight ‘free-radicals’ in the body, amino acids form the very basis of our chemical make-up, and are essential to growth and the ability to fight infection and disease. In most cases we cannot create our own amino acids, we must ingest them through the foods that we eat. The importance of amino acids and the fact that they are so abundant in bee products warrants special attention.

Royal Jelly and 10 HDA
December 15, 2009 by royaljellyblog
Many people ask about the quality of royal jelly and how one can determine if one supplier offers quality that is higher than the next.
The Standard for measuring royal jelly is 10-HDA content, or 10-Hydroxy-2-Decenoic Acid. This is the active substance which exists only in natural royal jelly and is often referred to as royal jelly acid. The content of 10-HDA in royal jelly is usually around 1.5%-2,0%. The content of 10-HDA in royal jelly is the international standard of the quality of royal jelly and it directly determines the price of royal jelly on the international market.
As we’ve talked about elsewhere, research into the affects of bee products is quite scarce, but we offer the following reference papers which are widely available online, and if you care to you may search and read the specifics of each of the studies.
