7. Preventing Osteoporosis

Royal jelly and bee pollen could help reduce bone loss from osteoporosis. Some people taking these supplements experience increased bone calcium and phosphate levels. Royal jelly may have positive effects on bone health in the lumbar spine, too. Estrogen is important in bone metabolism, especially in women, and medications that offset estrogen loss during menopause often have negative side effects. Royal jelly contains phytoestrogens, those natural substances that mimic the effects of estrogen. Phytoestrogens have benefits similar to artificial estrogen, without the negative side effects.
