Like honey, it can be harvested by beekeepers from honey bee colonies grown in unique queen-making beehives.<\/p>\n Royal jelly<\/a> can affect the immune system by balancing levels and improving responses of specific immune cells [Th1<\/a>\/Th2<\/a>]. In mice, supplementation shifted the immune response to an allergen from Th2 to Th1 dominance<\/a>, reduced allergen levels in the blood, and improved skin allergy response [R<\/a>, R<\/a>].<\/p>\n In another study with mice, those given a royal jelly supplement had higher antibody levels and faster immune system cell growth [R<\/a>].<\/p>\n Royalisin is thought to be the compound within the royal jelly responsible for these immune benefits [R<\/a>].<\/p>\n As opposed to propolis<\/a>, which improved asthma symptoms in mice, both royal jelly and honey<\/a> worsened them. This may be due to their immuno-stimulatory and vasodilatory effects [R<\/a>]. However, its protein MRJP3 did reduce allergic responses in asthmatic mice [R<\/a>].<\/p>\n In fact, royal jelly has been reported to cause <\/em>allergic reactions with asthma, respiratory distress, and anaphylaxis in sensitized people [R<\/a>, R<\/a>, R<\/a>, R<\/a>].<\/p>\nImmune Boosting<\/h3>\n
