In distant Europe, the unit price of royal jelly per kilogram is as high as 1,000 US dollars; while in our neighboring country Japan, the unit price of royal jelly per kilogram is between 150,000 and 200,000 yen, which is equivalent to more than 1,300 US dollars. Surprisingly, Japan imports a large amount of royal jelly from China every year, with a quantity of up to 500 tons.
So, why is royal jelly not only expensive but also sells so well in Japan? The answer lies in the fact that the Japanese people have deeply felt the remarkable effects of royal jelly. Nowadays, Japan has become a country of longevity. The average life expectancy of Japanese men has reached 76.25 years, ranking first in the world for nine consecutive years; the life expectancy of Japanese women is as high as 82.51 years, topping the world for ten consecutive years.
Looking back at China. Before the liberation, the average life expectancy of Chinese people was less than 40 years, but now it has generally increased. However, the average life expectancy of Chinese women is 71 years, 10 years less than that of Japanese women. To a large extent, the reason for this is that in the past, Chinese people lacked sufficient understanding of royal jelly.
It is worth noting that 60% of the world’s royal jelly is produced in China, and the unit price of Chinese royal jelly is only about 60 US dollars per kilogram, which is more than 20 times cheaper than that in Japan. This is undoubtedly a huge advantage.
As long as people have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of royal jelly, it is entirely possible for the average life expectancy of Chinese women to reach 92 years old. Japanese consumers have given royal jelly extremely high praise. They say that royal jelly is the second penicillin in the world. You know, penicillin has been used in humans for 50 years and has saved billions of lives. Human longevity is closely related to the use of penicillin. And royal jelly has been used in Japan for 50 years, resulting in tens of millions of long-lived elderly people among the 200 million Japanese, making the entire Japanese nation live longer. In the minds of the Japanese, royal jelly is as precious as a pearl.
In the highly developed and health-conscious country of Japan, the health supplement market presents a prosperous scene. There are a dazzling array of more than 70 types of health supplements on the market, with intense yet orderly competition. Royal jelly stands out among the numerous choices and holds a remarkable position, ranking third. The top spot is occupied by vitamin C, which, with its wide range of efficacy and public recognition, has become the first choice for many consumers. Closely following is calcium, which is highly favored for its crucial role in maintaining bone health and the normal functions of the body.
However, it is notable that while vitamin C and calcium take the top two spots, they are publicly funded for sale, while royal jelly holds the first position among self-paid medicines. The reason behind this phenomenon is profound. The rise of royal jelly in the Japanese market is no accident. It has won the trust and pursuit of consumers with its unique and significant effects. The Japanese people’s pursuit of health and the demand for high-quality health supplements are growing increasingly, and royal jelly precisely meets their expectations.
Looking back in history, in the 1960s, Japan’s annual consumption of royal jelly was less than 30 tons. However, as time went by, by the early 1980s, this figure increased rapidly to 150 tons. It reached 226 tons in 1988, 277 tons in 1989, and after 1992, the annual consumption has been stably between 400 and 500 tons. Such an astonishing growth rate fully demonstrates the huge charm and potential of royal jelly in the Japanese market.
The domestic production of royal jelly in Japan is extremely limited and far from meeting the huge domestic consumption demand. Therefore, it mainly relies on imports from China. This imbalance between supply and demand further highlights the scarcity and preciousness of royal jelly in the Japanese market.
Next, let me introduce the consumption methods of royal jelly to you. Royal jelly can be taken orally directly, generally 5 – 10 grams per day. To improve the taste, royal jelly can also be mixed with honey in a ratio of 1:2 for consumption. It can also be added to warm milk or warm water and taken, but be careful that the water temperature should not exceed 60 degrees Celsius to avoid destroying the nutrients of royal jelly.
There are also some precautions when consuming royal jelly. People with allergic constitutions should try a small amount before consumption to confirm no allergic reaction before normal consumption. Pregnant women and children should consume it with caution. In addition, royal jelly should be stored in a low-temperature, light-proof, and dry environment to ensure its quality and efficacy.
