HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Royal Jelly Capsules 500 mg by Stakich

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

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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: royal jelly concentrate at 500 mg per capsule. Royal jelly is a nutrient-rich secretion from honeybees, traditionally used to support various health concerns.

The capsule also includes royal jelly powder and rice powder as inactive ingredients.

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?
  • The label markets general wellness (“Support healthy aging and vitality”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.
  • 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 for royal jelly is mixed. It's possibly effective for menopausal symptoms.

However, it's rated possibly ineffective for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), physical performance, and diabetes. For hair loss (androgenic alopecia), there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to rate whether it works.

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, but it can cause serious allergic reactions — especially in those with a history of asthma or atopy (a tendency toward allergies). Common allergic symptoms include itching, hives, eczema, swelling of the eyelids and face, shortness of breath, and oral allergy syndrome.

In rare cases, it can trigger anaphylaxis, severe asthma (status asthmaticus), or death in susceptible individuals. There's also one reported case of bloody diarrhea and colon inflammation that resolved after stopping the supplement.

The safety data advises against using royal jelly during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Royal Jelly

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

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 with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any blood thinner — royal jelly may increase bleeding risk. Also flag it if you're on any medication for high blood pressure, since royal jelly might lower it further.

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 may help with menopausal symptoms, but the evidence for other uses is limited or doesn't support benefit. If you take warfarin or blood pressure medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the interaction risk is real and documented.

If you have asthma or a history of allergies, talk it over with your healthcare provider first.
