Ginseng & Royal Jelly Combination

Due to ginseng's long list of benefits, the market has opened up to include various forms of ginseng and combinations with other herbs and supplements. It is believed that when combined with royal jelly, the benefits of ginseng are heightened. 

Ginseng and Royal Jelly Combination

Ginseng and royal jelly individually have been trusted for years as safe, nutritional substances with vast curative and preventative properties. Ginseng has been praised for millennia as an herbal medicine helping all aspects of human health.

GINSENOSIDES ARE THE KEY COMPUNDS IN GINSENG, AND ARE BELIEVED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF ITS MEDICINAL PROPERTIES.

The dried ginseng root can be consumed in many forms to help treat high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, menopause symptoms, erectile dysfunction, and many other conditions. Ginseng is often used as a preventative or enhancing herb to improve memory, stimulate immunity, increase alertness, and enhance mental performance.

Similar to ginseng, royal jelly has a widespread reputation for helping achieve ideal health. Royal jelly is credited with supporting growth in children, improving overall health, and promoting longevity. The high nutritional value of royal jelly is due to its unique combination of proteins, sugars, lipids, amino acids, vitamins (particularly B5, or pantothenic acid), and minerals, as well as substances such as sterols and acetylcholine.

ROYAL JELLY IS A HIGHLY NUTRITIOUS SUBSTANCE PRODUCED BY HONEY BEES AND INTENDED FOR THE QUEEN BEE AND LARVAE.

The ginseng royal jelly combination generally contains 500 mg of Panax (mostly red ginseng) and 350 mg of royal jelly per serving, in vials of 10 mL, to be taken twice a day after being slightly heated in boiled water, before breakfast and after supper. Be very cautious opening the vials. If the glass breaks, do not take the medicine.

Ginseng royal jelly also comes in pots - often mixed with bee pollen and honey bee - and as hard supplements, such as capsules.

Benefits of Ginseng Royal Jelly

A number of scientific studies have been done to determine the benefits of ginseng royal jelly, which is believed to help with blood pressure, diabetes, hormonal regulation, energy levels, and cognitive performance.

A study published in Clinical Interventions in Aging (2013) tested the effects of a royal jelly dietary supplement in combination with ginkgo and Panax ginseng in patients with mild cognitive impairment. After four weeks, the patients showed significant improvements.

According to the conclusions of a study published in the Nutrition Journal (2012), the consumption of royal jelly has induced higher testosterone in animal trials, suggesting that may also be able to modulate sex hormones in humans, therefore having effects similar to ginseng.

GINSENG ROYAL JELLY IS OFTEN USED TO ENHANCE FERTILITY AND LIBIDO.

A popular trend is adding pollen to ginseng royal jelly, as bee pollen is believed to share many benefits with the both ginseng and royal jelly.
