Abstract
Background: The hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of worker honeybees create a creamy material called royal jelly, which is supplied to the queen and larvae throughout their early stages of development. Due to its numerous health benefits, it has been utilized historically as a vital bee product in traditional medicine from ancient times. It is made up of a combination of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Among its advantageous qualities are anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antioxidant, hypotensive, and immune-stimulatory actions. It is increasingly fashionable to take it as a dietary supplement to treat a variety of illnesses, including Alzheimer's, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular conditions. Royal jelly boosts antioxidant defenses by preventing oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. Aim: The current paper aims to gather information on royal jelly regarding its chemical composition, beneficial properties and ameliorative effects against different toxins. Conclusion: In summary, research proved that royal jelly has multiple beneficial properties and that it can ameliorate the toxic effects of different toxins by reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis.
