It can be also used for asthma, hay fever, liver disease, pancreatitis, trouble sleeping (insomnia), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), stomach ulcers, kidney disease, bone fractures, menopausal symptoms, skin disorders, baldness and high cholesterol.It also can be used as a food supplement, known to have many nutrients (vide supra), mainly carbohydrates and lipids, including its characteristic acid, 10-HDA, the most important active ingredient in Royal Jelly. The content of this acid can be considered as an index for determination of quality.Recent studies have shown that 10-HDA promotes the growth of T-lymphocyte subsets and interleuking-2, which might suggest that this is a fatty acid and possesses immunoregulation and anticancer activities. It is a beneficial treatment for aging, hypoglycemia and tumors, so 10-HDA is of significant values in medical and health care domains . For this reason, the presence of 10-HDA can be used as a marker to differentiate Royal Jelly from other bee products, and the content of 10-HDA has been used as a parameter for Royal Jelly quality.
