Rating (out of 5): 2

Royal jelly has a long history of traditional use in various cultures as a natural remedy to enhance fertility, particularly in women. This usage stems from its biological role in the beehive: royal jelly is the exclusive food of the queen bee, who is responsible for reproduction and has a much longer lifespan than worker bees. This observation led to the belief that royal jelly may have fertility-boosting and rejuvenating properties in humans as well. In traditional medicine systems, such as those in China and some parts of Europe, royal jelly has been used to support reproductive health, regulate menstrual cycles, and improve vitality.

Scientific studies on royal jelly's effect on human fertility are limited and mostly of low quality. Some animal studies suggest that royal jelly supplementation may influence reproductive hormones, increase ovarian follicle development, or improve sperm quality, possibly due to its content of proteins, fatty acids, and vitamins. However, well-designed clinical trials in humans are scarce and results are inconclusive. A few small studies have hinted at improvements in hormonal profiles or pregnancy rates, but these have not been widely replicated or accepted in mainstream medicine.

In summary, while royal jelly is traditionally used to support fertility and has some preliminary animal data, robust scientific evidence supporting its efficacy in treating human infertility is lacking. Its use remains rooted in tradition rather than validated by strong clinical research.
