HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Royal Jelly 500 mg by Vitamin World

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 10, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Royal Jelly” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Royal Jelly 500 mg contains one active ingredient: royal jelly concentrate — a nutrient-rich secretion from honeybees. The softgel also holds several inactive ingredients: soybean oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, yellow beeswax, and soy lecithin, which help deliver and stabilize the royal jelly.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Royal Jelly's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Royal Jelly for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Menopausal symptoms — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence on royal jelly is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for menopausal symptoms, meaning some research suggests it may help, but more solid evidence is needed.

For allergic rhinitis (hay fever), diabetes, and physical performance, the data shows it's probably not effective. For hair loss (androgenic alopecia), there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Royal Jelly

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Royal jelly is generally well tolerated in most people. The main concern is allergic reactions — it can trigger anything from itching, hives, and rashes to serious breathing problems and anaphylaxis in people with a history of asthma or allergies (atopy).

There's also one rare case report of bloody diarrhea that resolved when the supplement was stopped. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information; talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it during either.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Royal Jelly

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Royal Jelly.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 174 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, double-check if you're on warfarin (Coumadin) or any blood pressure medication. Warfarin carries a Moderate risk of increased bleeding; blood pressure drugs carry a Moderate risk of blood pressure dropping too low.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Royal Jelly 500 mg may be worth considering if you're exploring options for menopausal symptoms, but the evidence is limited. If you take warfarin or blood pressure medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — the interaction risk is real.

If you have asthma or a history of allergies, be cautious; allergic reactions are the main safety issue. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before adding this to your routine.

Royal Jelly contains the natural factor, 10-Hydroxy-2-Decenoic Acid (10-HDA), one of its most important components.

Formula

Assayed to contain 10-HDA (possibly the most important factor found in Royal Jelly).

Royal Jelly 500 mg by Vitamin World: Common Questions

Does Royal Jelly 500 mg by Vitamin World interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Royal Jelly 500 mg has a known interaction with 174 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Royal Jelly 500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is royal jelly safe if I have asthma or allergies?
No — people with asthma or a history of allergies (atopy) face a higher risk of allergic reactions, ranging from itching and hives to serious problems like anaphylaxis or breathing difficulty. If that's you, avoid this product or talk with your doctor first.
Can I take royal jelly while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know either way. The data advises caution, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — they can help you decide what's right for you.
Does royal jelly actually help with hot flashes or night sweats?
It's rated possibly effective for menopausal symptoms, meaning some research suggests it may help, but we need stronger evidence. If you're interested, talk with your doctor about whether it's worth a trial.
What's the difference between royal jelly and honey?
Royal jelly is a nutrient-rich secretion from honeybees that they feed to their queen, while honey is processed nectar. Royal jelly has a different nutrient profile and is what's active in this supplement.
Can royal jelly help me lose weight or boost energy?
The data we hold doesn't show royal jelly is effective for those uses. The evidence on physical performance is rated possibly ineffective.
Are there any fillers in this softgel?
The softgel contains soybean oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, yellow beeswax, and soy lecithin as inactive ingredients — these help stabilize and deliver the royal jelly. If you have a soy or gelatin sensitivity, this product isn't right for you.
