Royal jelly medicinal uses are primarily for immune system boosting and antiallergenic benefits. Royal jelly is high in several important vitamins including A, C, D and E as well as B vitamins like biotin and the protein, keratin. This mix of vitamins and proteins makes royal jelly also good for skin and hair health, including strengthening hair, boosting collagen and helping the skin retain moisture from dryness and damage.^1,2
