Royal Jelly/Bee Pollen

[jsophia922]

I read in a thread here not to use a metal spoon to eat Royal Jelly/Bee Pollen, but I was wondering what the reason for this is? It's really thick and kind of hard to scoop out with a plastic spoon. Anyone know why we can't use a regular kitchen spoon?

The metal in the spoon counters the effective properties of the royal jelly - apparently. I used a baby spoon :) Oh and I got my boy!

Thank you!!! Good idea- I'll have to get a baby spoon!! And congrats on your boy :)

I am not a huge fan of the RJBP anyway and so I am not sure I'd even bother with it. As I did more investigations I learned that virtually all the benefits of RJBP can be had from the B vitamins in multivitamin and brewers yeast, plus fish oil. and the allergy issue is a very big concern for me (people have died after using RJBP!) So as a result I have moved away from recommending it, even though it has seemed to help people sway blue, it's safest to avoid it. :)

Is Brewers yeast somethingI should be taking? I do use nutritional yeast in my cooking....

Ash, I'm taking Brewers yeast/B12 tablets 2 of them every other day(the serving is 6). I was planning to take RJBP also but started raw honey instead(Atomic recommended):)

I already take b12 supplement..... But reading up on the Brewers yeast, I might start taking that too!!! My husband actually takes the RJBP, he loves it!! I can't wait to stop taking all these supplements! I don't know about you, but I think thier making me very hormonal!!!

When did you start the raw honey? The 6 weeks?

A little bit earlier, 3 months in advance, but we were planning TTC in January at first, then our plans have changed.
I feel fine on all those supplements, i just don't like the weight and muscles, even if that is not that much. Feel like "fertile Hulk":)

[Ashforblue]

Lol!! Well fx your done with the weights!

You can if you want to, but you don't HAVE to, esp. if using nutritional yeast.

At some point though, enough is enough. I understand the temptation to want to take everything one has ever heard of but it's not necessary. More isn't always better and it may end up screwing things up to take everysinglething you ever heard of.

Well if you think the nooch is good enough, I'll stick to that! It's pretty yummy!! :) I need to stop obsessing!

There's ALWAYS something else to take, but at some poitn it's just enough is enough. These super ultra megadoses may actually be HARMFUL even if you're gettng them from lots of diff. sources so just stick with what you're already doing!
