The 1st Responsible Beekeeping label

Arkoroyal® is a pioneering product line, being the first to earn the Responsible Beekeeping label from a respected independent body. This certification guarantees a Royal Jelly:

of Premium Quality,
from a pollution-free environment thanks to regular monitoring of the quality of the air, water and soil around hives,
100% from bees fed exclusively from natural or organic sources.
The Responsible Beekeeping label also complies with an ethical charter (good working conditions, fair compensation, sustainable support, etc.) with regard to our small-scale partner beekeepers.

Water – Honey – Fructose – Royal Jelly – Ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Mey.) root extract – Concentrated Orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) juice – Concentrated Acerola (Malpighia glabra L.) berry juice – Propolis extract

Royal Jelly contains a high proportion of water, but also sugars, proteins, lipids, minerals and vitamins, as well as a large number of substances such as 10-HDA fatty acids (10-hydroxy-decenoic acid) and 10-H2DA (10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid). The major ingredient is 2.5% apalbumin-1 in Arkoroyal® Royal Jelly. It is beneficial for bees thanks to its nutritional and antibacterial properties. Royal Jelly contains at least 100 times more apalbumin than honey. Fed exclusively on honey, a larva becomes a bee. On the other hand, the larva, fed with Royal Jelly, becomes the queen and will live 40 times longer than its counterparts. If Royal Jelly was already consumed in all ancient civilizations, its properties have been identified for only a few decades. Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is a perennial plant in the genus Panax of the Araliaceae family. Ginseng has to grow for at least 6 years for the root to reach maturity and develop all of its qualities. With its stimulating and fortifying properties, Ginseng helps decrease fatigue. Acerola (Malpighia glabra) grows in the dry forests of Central and South America. The tree can reach 5 m tall. It produces red berries that resemble European cherries. Acerola is one of the richest sources of vitamin C in the world. Vitamin C helps reduce fatigue and also helps keep the immune system working properly. Propolis is known for being rich in flavonoids (a family of polyphenols). The anti-bacterial activity of propolis helps keep the hive healthy, thus, it is known as the hive's “natural shield.”
