What’s the Correct Dosage of Fresh Royal Jelly?

So you’ve got your hands on some premium fresh royal jelly (hopefully from us at Fresh Royal Jelly), and now you’re wondering: how much should I take each day? You're not alone—it’s one of the most common questions we get from customers across the UK.

Let’s clear it up for you.

The Recommended Daily Dosage

The correct daily dosage of fresh royal jelly is:

One quarter of a teaspoon (approximately 1–2 grams) per day

That’s it! A small amount goes a long way. Royal jelly is incredibly potent, and your body doesn’t need large quantities to benefit from its nutritional goodness.

Why Only 1–2 Grams?

Fresh royal jelly is packed with nutrients:

  • B vitamins (especially B5 and B6)

  • Amino acids

  • Natural fatty acids

  • Enzymes

  • And a unique compound called royalactin, which is thought to play a major role in the development of queen bees

Because it's so nutritionally dense, your body only needs a small dose to experience its effects—like enhanced energy, hormone balance, skin support, and general wellness.

When’s the Best Time to Take It?

We recommend taking fresh royal jelly:

  • First thing in the morning, on an empty stomach if possible

  • Let it dissolve under your tongue (sublingually) for better absorption

  • Follow with water if the taste is a bit strong—it’s natural, slightly tangy, and earthy

Can I Take More?

While 1–2 grams is the ideal starting point, some people gradually increase their intake to up to 3 grams per day based on their needs and how their body responds. However, we always suggest starting small and observing how you feel over the first few weeks.

If you have allergies to bee products, asthma, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before starting royal jelly—just to be safe.

Tips for Storing and Using Fresh Royal Jelly

To preserve its powerful nutrients:

  • Keep it refrigerated at all times

  • Avoid using metal utensils—opt for wood, ceramic, or plastic instead

  • Don’t heat it, as high temperatures can destroy its enzymes
