Ginseng & Royal Jelly By NOW Overview & Drug Interactions

Royal jelly is a thick, milky substance produced by worker bees. It is fed to the queen bee during the larval stage of her life, and it is believed to play a key role in her development and fertility. Royal jelly is rich in nutrients, including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, and minerals. It is also a good source of antioxidants. Royal jelly is often utilized as used as a dietary supplement as it is purported to have a number of potential health benefits. It is believed to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and it is sometimes used to treat a variety of conditions, including skin conditions, asthma, and menopausal symptoms. It is also used to boost the immune system and improve physical and mental performance.

Licorice, also known as glycyrrhiza, is a plant native to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean region. The root of the plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and is often consumed in the form of candy, tea, and supplements. Licorice has a number of purported health benefits, including the ability to soothe sore throats, reduce inflammation, and improve digestive problems. It may also have antiviral and antibacterial properties. Licorice naturally contains glycyrrhizin, or glycyrrhizic acid, which can have toxic effects if consumed in large amounts. However, licorice can be processed to remove glycyrrhizin, resulting in DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice). Many dietary supplements that contain deglycyrrhizinated licorice are often simply named 'DGL'.
