YS Royal Jelly/Honey Bee - Royal Jelly In Honey Ultra Strength, 21 oz gel

WOAH. Context: I am a nutrition coach and overall nerd about supplements. I first got into learning about supplements when I became an egg donor looking into things for fertility and egg quality, and my interest grew from there. I am knowledgeable about what micronutrients to pair with each other and brands with good reputations for bio-availability. I also am very in touch with my body and health and notice if and how new things affect me. SO...I expected this Royal Jelly to basically be honey, or very similar. A friend suggested hive-products for multiple health benefits, and research confirmed this can have a positive impact. In my head I thought of it more like honey than a supplement, so I didn't initially respect the recommended serving instructions. The jelly tastes like a combination of honey and soap to me (which I actually liked because I don't love the taste of pure honey). The container says 1-2 tsp 1-2x/day on an empty stomach with water, and to not refrigerate. I had big heaping kitchen spoonfuls of it 3x/day on an empty stomach with water (30-60 mins before breakfast, lunch, and bed). Within 3-4 days there were extremely noticeable side effects which caused me to do more research. The things I observed don't seem to have research done on them, so I guess take it with a grain of salt that this is quite subjective and I can't back it up with any studies. -The first thing I noticed was day 2 or 3, my hearing seemed SO much sharper that I actually found it distracting throughout the day. This has continued. I brought it up to my friend who told me about royal jelly and he said his boss told him that he found colors to be more saturated. I didn't notice the colors, but my vision did seem sharper as well by day 2-3. That could maybe be attributed to better focus. I'm not sure. It was definitely perceived by both of us as sensory impact. -Good mood. By day 2 or 3 I noticed I had no anxiety. I don't normally have high levels of anxiety, but I noticed the total absence of ANY anxiety. I've used taurine powder for the same before and this was more noticeable to me. -ENERGY. By day 4-5 I had to stop taking the spoonful before bed. I never drank coffee or napped so my energy levels were never very low, but I've been dancing around and bouncing off the walls. I normally fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow and it started taking an hour or more. -Lucid/Psychedelic Dreams: My dreams got weird by day 4-5 too. Once I'd eventually fall asleep I had multiple lucid dreams, good and bad, and woke up between them feeling an almost psychedelic effect. I haven't seen ANY research on this, just my observation. I do have the frame of reference. -It is powerful. It isn't recommended for people taking blood pressure medication because it can cause similar effects on its own, which could cause someone's overall blood pressure to drop too low. Therefore I know I need to be careful who I recommend it to. This also reframed it in my mind as more of a supplement than something similar to honey. As a result of noticing so many effects, I reduced the amount I'm taking to the recommended serving - about 2tsp, 2x/day (no later than lunch).* I will buy again, but I feel quite humbled by this stuff, definitely earned my respect - it's powerful! Let me know if any of you have experienced anything similar!

Previously purchased in a health food store. Delicious honey, Amazon's price is unbeatable!

Great energy

When I got this it was all sticky around the rim even though the seel was on. It just came out of the edges. I was ok with that as I didn't get anywhere. I tasted it and it's very sweet although I do like it as long as it's just a tiny bit. I'm excited to see what this does for me!

the cleanest energy source on the planet, YS is a great company, with no additives! arrived fast

I have just received my "fake" fresh royal jelly, and saying that I was disappointed is an understatement. Maybe I should have read the fine print first, because this is not pure fresh royal jelly at all, this is mostly honey, it's no wonder the pot is so huge, for a small price. Real fresh royal jelly is rare, it's the stuff that the queen bee is fed to become the queen, and it usually comes in small quantities and has to be kept frozen and tastes a bit bitter. It does wonders for the libido, and that's the reason I wanted to buy it. I suffer from anhedonia caused by products I've used for hair loss over the years, that have harmed my hormonal balance. Royal Jelly is the one of the few things that I've taken that helped me with that. I have bought real (not fake, not misleading royal jelly mixed with honey), before in countries such as Brazil and Canada, and they worked great, and I am as sure as 2+2 this product doesn't taste like royal jelly, isn't pure royal jelly, and I absolutely doubt it that it would give me the results that I bought it for.

Great product. Great taste! More than expected.

It helps hydrate my dry eyes somehow along with many more benefits. Strange but I’m colorblind and taking this seems to make things more vibrant
