Beneficios de la jalea real sobre el fortalecimiento del organismo en el ser humano.

Abstract

The present bibliographic research was carried out with the objective of investigating the benefits of royal jelly on the strengthening of the human organism. The bibliographic search was carried out on digital platforms such as Google Scholar, journals indexed in recognized databases (Scielo, Latindex, Dialnet), digital repositories (Dspace ESPOCH, UDCA, USAC, UTN), doctoral theses and scientific articles. The gathered information was selected and arranged in tables for a better understanding. Subsequently, the established objectives regarding the information search on the benefits, nutritional composition and the adequate dose of royal jelly consumption were fulfilled. The results showed that royal jelly is a product that provides several benefits for our organism thanks to its nutritional, therapeutic, dietetic, preventive and certain nutritional deficiencies properties, since it helps to fight cholesterol, acts as a food supplement, favors children's growth, has a tonic, antiviral, antimicrobial, and antitumor effect. In addition, due to its components it becomes a product with a high nutritional value since on average it contains 69% water, 15.5% sugars, 20.5% proteins, 8.55% lipids and 1.4% ashes. Subsequently, it was pointed out that the consumption of royal jelly is beneficial in children as well as in adults, taking into account their consumption levels, since in both cases it is different. Finally, it is recommended to investigate new products where royal jelly can be added to increase its nutritional value and to adequately conserve royal jelly avoiding its exposure to light because it would affect its nutritional characteristics through chemical reactions that alter the product.
