Royal jelly - causing me to gain weight?

by Laurel

I had been taking RJ by soft gel just over a month and now suck it out of the casing to avoid ingesting the soft gel. Question: I seem to be gaining WEIGHT now?????? Would there be a correlation between having RJ daily? I'm finding myself wanting to eat when I'm not hungry!?!? I'm preferring more salt too. Once daily, I'm taking 1000mg, 6% 10HDA. Thank you!!

Hi Laurel,
I'd be very surprised if royal jelly is causing you to gain weight or to eat more. What I would suggest is to stop taking the royal jelly for a week or two and see if you continue to experience this issue.

Royal jelly has actually been shown to balance blood sugar and aid in weight loss so it is unlikely that it is causing the opposite for you.

Let me know how things go.
