Stakich Royal Jelly Fresh (2 Ounce)

Excellent quality, tastes and looks as it should. Velvety smooth and easy to spoon out. The quantity is small, but that is to be expected considering where it’s coming from. It was shipped well protected with an ice pack in a small styrofoam container that was then shipped in a cardboard box. There was no leakage during transport and it was safely sealed too. I mix this with a little honey and coconut oil and use on my toast in the morning. I love knowing I’m getting good nutrients into my body to start my day.

Good quality, reasonable price.

The product was supposed to be cold, but it is hot.

Very good product. I like the taste now, but at first you will find it pretty bitter and gross if you simply try to swallow it quickly the first time. You should put a 1/4 tsp amount in your mouth and then move it under your tongue for a minute, and then swallow it. That way you will absorb many nutrients through the blood vessels under your tongue (allowing them to bypass the liver), and it will taste much better once you finally swallow it. It arrived in an insulated package with a cold pack that was still quite cool to the touch. Keep in mind that scientific studies show that royal Jelly can actually remain at 100 degrees F for three weeks before it will no longer cause regular bees to turn into queens. So even if the package arrives at room temperature, it will be fine as long as you refrigerate it right away. The cold pack is just to reduce the amount of degradation that might occur during shipping. Ideally, you still want to keep it as cool as possible during shipping, and then put it in the refrigerator right away.Researcher Masaki Kamakura stored royal jelly at just over 100 degrees Fahrenheit for either one week, two weeks, three weeks, or for 30 days, and then fed it to bees. The bees raised on royal jelly that had been heated for 30 days developed into regular worker bees, suggesting that whatever ingredient of royal jelly turns bees into queens broke down just before those 30 days were up. Knowing how long different compounds in royal jelly lasted, this allowed researchers to identify the protein royalactin as the key ingredient.

very good product 100% recommended

I am not an expert on royal jelly but I have used it. Now I know I really had no idea what I was buying after receiving my order from Stakich. This is the real deal. They even pack it in ice as it needs to stay cool. My other purchases never did this. Also proof is in the pudding. The reason I bought this in the first place was because I had been advised by a well known herbalist in Fes, Morocco to combine it with bee pollen & honey. I had a terrible virus/flu & even when symptoms were almost gone I had a terrible fatigue. Others said this might take weeks to disappear. After using the royal jelly, bee pollen & honey mixture for only 3 days the fatigue was completely gone like it never existed. I will continue taking it twice a day as I am feeling quite well.

I keep it in the fridge.

First off this is a rather strong and bitterest flavor so unless you really like that type combo then you might want to reconsider OR you'll need to combine it with some type other flavor in order to get it down your throat. I can not attest to any of the claims written in the product description or the reviews because I've been using for it only 1 week and I don't see any difference than before I started using it. Not really sure how soon I was supposed to see any changes happening but so far it's a no go for me. I most likely won't be ordering this product again unless something really radical occurs really soon.The other thing is you only get a very tiny jar and the directions instruct you to use 1/4 teaspoonful 2 times daily. At that rate you'll definitely run out very soon and this product is not cheap. Honestly had I known by seeing ( meaning holding a similar sized jar in my hands) I wouldn't have purchased it. I'm guesstimating that there's about 3 Tablespoonful ( I might actually be over generous here) in the tiny jar. I just so happened to get it while it was under 30 dollars so nope now that it's off sale I'll save my money. Hope this helps someone else avoid buyers remorse.
