FOR THOSE WHOSE SAY THIS ISN'T REAL " ROYAL JELLY" .. READ THE LISTING & LABEL- PHOTO INCL- read on...
This IS ROYALJELLY . Some reviews did not read the label pictured or the heading that clearly states " Royal Jelly In Honey ".Even the pic I took while writing this STATES" Royal Jelly In Honey.."! Fresh Royal Jelly is extremely difficult to KEEP fresh & potent in shipping especially. If the temp is too warm it will go rancid quickly! Besides that, Royal Jelly is best assimilated when TAKEN WITH A TEASPOON OF HONEY( it will say that on the labels of fresh Royal Jelly!) .. Raw honey of course is best. So people don't want to pay $25-$40 easy for a Ounce of Fresh Royal Jelly and its rancid when they get the package , also they would need to purchase Raw Honey for it to be best absorbed and utilized in the body the way it is intended. So hence why companies started putting the Royal Jelly INTO Raw Honey ( by itself or along with pollen, propolis ,ginseng etc.) to keep it from spoiling quickly plus you know it's getting utilized correctly mixed in with the honey. Also you know exactly the amount your getting & what to take instead of mixing it yourself. On this label it states: ROYAL Jelly 675mg per serving/ 40,000 mg per jar & below that it says IN HONEY ( also at the top of the page as well..) So I do not believe the company is misleading anyone, some are just looking at the big words " Royal jelly " and not reading further. Besides there is NO Fresh Royal Jelly that your going to find in a 21oz jar or close to that for THIS PRICE! Just 4 ounces of Fresh Royal Jelly will run you a min of $60 +. Maybe some thought they were getting such a great deal that they did not read it completely?
Is this the BEST Royal Jelly? I like the brand but probably not the BEST ( it takes 3party testing of products to prove potency, purity, levels of any heavy metals or unwanted additives etc) but you will PAY more for better... , best... quality like with anything else. Is this a good brand? Yes, I started out buying the 1 & 2 ounce jars of the fresh Royal jelly ( not in honey!) for $25 & $42 or so dollars and liked the benefits . Then reseaching more and finding that it would be best assimilated & I'd reap better benefits taking it with a teaspoon of honey, I did that. Well then I found it all ready & done for me . This jar would be like putting about a 2 ounce jar of fresh Royal Jelly into 19oz of raw honey. So , this IS REAL ROYAL JELLY! It's just put into the honey so your body can assimilate it properly as well as preserve all the wonderful vitamins/minerals/etc their peak & not spoiling or losing potency.
It is a pretty good brand, I get Starkich once in a while ( to me , also not the best, you can taste the quality after years of use but it is also a good brand) & others. I have my favs & they are expensive, so I often go with this or Starkich , even the dried form in pills ( which some swear by & say freeze dried is the best & I believe that's due to the stability issues of fresh RJ) . It's a good price ! It has 40,000 mg of fresh Royal Jelly, try to buy that amount for this price! If you can, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE ( & pray it's actually real!) .Plus your getting the raw honey ,& it's benefits..
This is how you should be taking your Royal Jelly. So don't give 1-2 stars because YOU didn't not read the listing OR picture correctly. That's not a review of the product, but your mistake. Do your research on supplements , it's the only way to know which to take, how, the best forms, where to get it sourced from, amounts to take etc. if you do not, you only have yourself to blame.
I don't think this is a 5 star Best Royal Jelly you can get, but it deserves 4 ! It's in the best form, your getting the benefits of both products in one & it keeps the R J from spoiling ( which happens very easily if not kept at proper temps.! 2-4 days in & out of delivery warehouses & trucks -going from cold ,hot, cold, warm & back will destroy your precious expensive Royal J...) So please read listings , know what your buying & how you should be buying it. It's written clearly what this is , it's no fault of the company nor Amazon if you read it wrong. It does come up in a search for " Royal Jelly" , because it Is RJ but if your looking for the pure one, than put that in your search - " pure fresh Royal jelly" and you will get just plain RJ . Then you can worry about it going bad on the way to you & also buy a jar of Raw honey to take it with..... ALSO , if you do choose to purchase the pure fresh RJ, which is great, make sure the company your buying from PACKS IT WITH FROZEN/ICE PACKS! They may be melted by the time it arrives to you thats ok but it has a much, much better chance of not spoiling /going rancid on the way! Reputable dealers will always cold pack fresh RJ! Even a 1 oz jar! In hot months, if possible, buy it from a whole foods or vitamin store near you. That way you don't chance spoilage . Whole foods keeps this brand in a open cooler in the vitamin aisles . Even in the store they KEEP FRESH RJ COOL & temperature controlled! Except If it's mixed into honey ( like this one ) it will be on a shelf as the RJ is kept preserved naturally by the honey~ Though even in the honey, if you heated over a certain temp you'd begin to destroy the benefits of the RJ. I try not to even add this into tea or coffee ( I use my regular raw honey or Agave ) because the heat of the hot liquids can destroy , breakdown , lessen the wonderful benefits in the RJ. I will swallow a tsp on its own before or after hot coffe, tea to be sure. I don't want to waste my $ getting a raw, unfiltered, low/no heat used product then destroy all its greatness by adding into Hot liquids myself! ☹️
I just hope this helps any new people reading the reviews , thinking about buying this brand/product & reading ppl saying this is not Royal jelly. It most certainly is! In honey. As it should be taken. To each their own, but don't give bad reviews due to your error.
I do not mean to bash anyone, but to help some understand better. Everyone makes mistakes, I know I do! But there's a difference in a bad product, a misleading brand, and you making a error in reading the listings heading, & Picture then leaving negative reviews on it. Amazon is difficult enough to weed through the REAL truthful reviews, the FREE( people who get stuff free from one or many company(s) over & over as long as they give raving 5 star reviews to absolute crap products..) product reviews, Then there's the rival companies having their people leave negative reviews to push people to buy their own product , Now add in the people who just made a mistake or didn't understand what they were buying then leave an unwarranted negative review for the product. Uh... See?
Thank you, I felt I needed to clear that up as I've used this product on/off for a couple yrs.
This is not at all to imply that ALL the negative reviews on this product are false. I'm just pointing out the ones that fall under " error of the buyer not the product" . If you think it's a bad product, that's fine. But don't say it's not real, it's fake and or misleading because you failed to read the listing in full or just read the big words " ROYAL JELLY" and then didn't bother to read anything further on the label or description ( like "in honey"...) .
I hope this helps clear up concerns and or questions any new buyers may have after reading some of the reviews for this product. Make your own choice, but I believe it should be based on truthful objective reviews.
If I helped you at all , please click on " yes" . I really appreciate you!! Thank you & happy shopping !!
