Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Royal jelly has traditionally been used in various cultures as a tonic to promote vitality, fertility, and overall reproductive health, including in men. Historically, its use stems from its unique composition, containing proteins, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, which are thought to contribute to reproductive health. Some traditional medicine systems, particularly in East Asia, have recommended royal jelly for improving libido and addressing male fertility concerns.

Regarding scientific validation, there is limited evidence directly supporting the use of royal jelly for the male reproductive system. A handful of animal studies suggest that royal jelly may improve sperm quality and testosterone levels, possibly due to its antioxidant properties and hormone-like compounds. For example, some studies in rodents have shown increased sperm count and motility after royal jelly supplementation. However, robust human clinical trials are lacking, and the existing studies are often small, preliminary, or not directly relevant to human male reproductive health.

In summary, while there is some traditional use and a small amount of supporting animal research, there is insufficient scientific evidence to conclusively validate royal jelly as an effective supplement for supporting the male reproductive system.
