Royal jelly is a milk-like secretion of honey bees that is used to feed larvae for 3 days for the worker bees and drones and until full development for the queen. Royal jelly has been used widely as a dietary supplement for its purported health prompting properties. Royal jelly is generally well tolerated and has not been linked to serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy or to instances of clinically apparent liver injury.

Background

Royal jelly is a milk-like secretion of honey bees (Apis mellifera) that is used to feed larvae in the honeycomb. Larvae that are to develop into drones (males) or worker bees (infertile females) are fed directly and for 3 days only. Larvae that are to become queens (fertile females) are fed the royal jelly secretions in large amounts and until they are fully developed. Royal jelly is harvested from the individual queen bee cells in honey bee hives and used as an emollient in topical creams as well as a dietary supplement for purported medicinal properties. Royal jelly consists of water, proteins, amino acids, fatty acids, simple carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. The active component that stimulates and modulates larval development is believed to be a series of “major royal jelly proteins” (MRJP). These MRJP alter DNA methylation resulting in an epigenic, nutritionally-driven change in expression of genes responsible for larva development. Royal jelly is used topically in creams and orally in dietary supplements purported to be beneficial for general health and well being. The bases of these claims have not been substantiated, but in vitro and animal studies suggest that components of royal jelly have antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties. Royal jelly is generally well tolerated without adverse events except for rare allergic reactions particularly in patients with a history of asthma or atopic disease. The hypersensitivity reactions can include urticaria, pruritus, erythema, laryngeal edema, wheezing, chest tightness, hypotension, cardiovascular collapse, and in rare instances death. The reactions arise within minutes of ingestion are most likely due to allergy to one of the major royal jelly proteins.

Other names: Jalea Real, Bee Saliva, Honey Bee Milk

Hepatotoxicity

Liver injury attributable to royal jelly has not been reported. In clinical trials of royal jelly as therapy of various conditions, side effects were rarely mentioned and ALT elevations and hepatotoxicity were not reported. Despite availability and widespread use as an alternative therapy, there have been no published reports of royal jelly induced liver injury.

Likelihood score: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).

Mechanism of Injury

Royal jelly has many components, but none of them has been shown to be particularly hepatotoxic.
