Additionally, taking Royal Jelly supplements or using it topically on the skin is not advised if you have allergic reactions like hives or asthma. The risk of negative side effects from Royal Jelly is higher in individuals who have other allergies.

Always remember to consult your healthcare expert or pharmacist before taking new medications or supplements, and especially before using a new supplement with medications you may already be taking.
