Royal Jelly with Honey ~ A Natural Source of Acetylcholine and BH4

I had to write this today, a fabulous find in my endless research into MTHFR Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and Healing the GI.....

Many adore Honey, and enjoy Royal Jelly... Do you know the health benefits?

I was reading studies and some great articles, and you can find the links below.

Several NCBI studies found that Pesticide Free Royal Jelly contains many of the cofactors to create BH4 or Biopterin, as well as several Vitamin B's, Amino Acids and AcetylCholine.

What is Acetylcholine? Per numerous fact sheets : " Acetylcholine is one of many neurotransmitters in the autonomic nervous system (ANS). It acts on both the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) and is the only neurotransmitter used in the motor division of the somatic nervous system.  Acetylcholine also supports Brain function and memory." It was originally deemed 'Vagus Stuff'. The average ratio of acetylcholine in royal jelly is 1 mg/gram. Pretty good!

The Vagus nerve is one of the largest central nerves that runs from the brain throughout the GI and other systems ~ including cranial nerves... Supplying the heart, lungs, upper digestive tract, and other organs of the chest and abdomen with signaling. NOTE: Twenty percent of the fibres of the vagus nerve control the organs which ‘maintain’ your body (the heart, digestion, breathing, glands). The other 80 percent of its fibres send information from your gut to your brain.

Acetylcholine is released via the vagus nerve signal ..... This is important, as the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls your relaxation, can be impacted by malnutrition and stress that effect signaling pathways and nerves in your body. 

The take on all this? Supplementing with Royal Jelly may be a safe and effective way to naturally raise acetylcholine, get vitamins and minerals as well as amino acids from whole food, and assist with BH4 production.

Enter Royal Jelly, with its numerous health benefits, including being the only natural source of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which acts as a brake on inflammation in the body.....

As part of an inflammation lowering regime....Eat Organic, gluten free and healthy foods, add a little Royal Jelly each day, it has also shown to lower Insulin Resistance. So eat, enjoy, and 'bee' healthier!


Key benefits of Royal Jelly supplementation :
Minerals like calcium, copper, iron, phosphorous, silicon, sulfur, and potassium
B-family vitamins including Niacin, Biotin, Inositol, Folate
Nucleic acids
Gamma globulin
17 different amino acids, including the 8 essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce, and must therefore get from food.
AcetylCholine
Biopterin, or BH4

  4. Thanks much. Browsing through it, I dont see where this is mentioned though? Did I miss it somewhere? And the second link all I see mentioned is The honeybee model clearly demonstrated the epigenetic effects of diet on the phenotype, because honeybees grow to be either queens or workers depending on whether they are fed royal jelly or beebread. The different honeybee phenotype has been suggested to occur through epigenetic changes in DNA methylation patterns induced by the different types of honey (21). More recent studies found that ∼35% of the annotated honeybee genes are expected to be methylated at the CpG dinucleotides by a highly conserved DNA methylation system, suggesting that honeybees use DNA methylation to control the levels of activity of the genes that might be needed for conserved core biological processes (22,23). I dont see anything about Royal Jelly and bh4... But its like a blizzard of words on these ncbi articles, so I might have missed it .lol
