Question 1

I have a problem swallowing pills. Can someone tell me the size of these pills?

Accepted Answer

This is a large liquid (meaning slippery), capsule. However I find it easy to take any size pill with a mouthful of food if I take it just before swallowing. This even works for my husband who has nerve damage in his throat.

How does anyone know that this actually contains royal jelly?

Accepted Answer

At NOW®, we take our product labeling seriously. Years ago, NOW® founder Elwood Richard helped the Natural Products Association (NPA) to develop the Tru-Label program. And we continue to participate in this program. Every year our products are randomly tested for compliance. Every year they’re tested to make sure what’s on the label is in the bottle. Over the years we’ve made significant, long-term investments in our laboratories and our staff to help us ensure product quality and accurate labeling. Each month we perform as many as 16,000 individual tests to verify the quality of our raw ingredients and our finished products.

Question 4

Is this 100% royal jelly?

Accepted Answer

No, it cannot be given it's in a capsule so gelatin is required as a listed ingredient due to the capsule being made from it. There is a small amount of olive oil and silica. My guess is the olive oil is to aid absorption of nutrients given it's a fat, and the silica keeps the freeze dried RJ from clumping when they put it in the capsules. Silica is widely considered harmless. You are however getting 100% of the claimed amount of Royal jelly on the label that equates to 1000 mg of fresh non concentrated RJ. This is a solid product from a very reputable company. If you aren't a vegetarian this will be a great product. if not look for a brand that uses vegetarian capsules. Contrary to what a vegan would tell you gelatin is not "cow junk". Gelatin itself is proven to be excellent for hair, skin, nail, and joint health, though the amount you're getting from the capsule is negligible. Hope this rational factually correct answer was helpful.
