    It doesn't taste like honey, that is for sure. It has honey consistency but burns when it goes down. Ugh.

    I got mine in a Go Vita health shop where they were happy to order it in for me.
    Not sure what Australian sites supply it online.

    Found it!

    the health food shop in the carillion in the city has fresh royal jelly ( across from miss mauds)

    its foul. end of story.

    I will be mixing it with something to get that taste away!

    Is it supposed to be mixed with honey?

    From what I remember, Royal Jelly is the food specifically given to the Queen bee that makes her the Queen Bee.
    Like honey, we humans are unsure of its exact molecular make up and why it possesses the qualitites it does, but is reputed to be excellent for the brain, your moods, and your physical appearance too.
    You can get royal jelly capsules, just make sure you are getting true royal jelly, that is unadulterated.

    Will ask hubby for the details and clarification when he gets home....he is a huge advocate of the stuff.

    Limeslice, I am intererested in what your hubby had to say

    I have been taking a over the counter brand in capsule form for a couple of months, and my egg quality has definatly improved,

    There is another BB friend of mine, who bought it online in honey form from an oline honey shop based in Tassie, she got a bfp so you never know ....

    Where's the hope put me onto it

    Thanks girls for your replies

    I can only seem to find the capsules here as well, so bought some & have started taking them.

    I asked my naturopath about it on Sat when I had an appointment - she said she recommends it usually for women 35+ doing IVF... I figure it can't hurt anyway

    Wow - that sounds very interesting. I remember my mother was taking royal jelly in liquid form (it came in little glass vials and had to be kept in the fridge) for ages. It was suggested to her by our pharmacist after my father passed away and she was having difficulty with anxiety and nervousness. I hadn't heard anything about taking it for egg quality. It might be something I will look into after our overseas trip. I feel like I am taking so many supplements each day that surely another one won't hurt

    Holly I would be really interested to see how you go with your next cycle taking the royal jelly.
