Your daily booster shot.
8 reasons never to skip your morning ritual again. No needles, promise.
Defences standing to attention
Vitamin C supports the normal function of your immune system. All winter long, without flagging.*1
The royal shield
10-HDA, royal jelly's signature active compound, protects the larvae in the hive. Its antibacterial properties have fascinated researchers since 1959.*2
Focus from the moment you wake
Royal jelly and its 10-HDA stimulate the renewal of nerve cells and protect them from oxidative stress. A clear head, even when everything's buzzing.*3
Antioxidant, queen edition
More antioxidant defences, fewer markers of oxidative stress: that's what 6 clinical trials observed.*4
An ally through the menopause
1,000 mg a day, the dose in one Apicure glass: menopause symptoms reduced after 8 weeks.*5
Bones that hold firm
At the dose of one glass a day, bone density preserved after 6 months.*6
High in fibre
2 g of soluble fibre per glass: a powder that stays free-flowing and a helping hand for your daily intake.*7

Anatomy of the pouch
Nothing but the hive, all of the hive.
Ingredients of natural origin. No artificial flavouring, no sweeteners, no colourings: for the lemon, vanilla and orange flavours, natural flavourings only.
Freeze-dried royal jelly
3,000 mg(1)The queen's food, cold freeze-dried: 3,000 mg of royal jelly per glass, concentrated into 1,000 mg of freeze-dried royal jelly, 3 times a pharmacy ampoule. Standardised to 6% 10-HDA, the benchmark quality marker.
Acerola
50 mg of vit. CA small cherry naturally very rich in vitamin C: 63% of the nutrient reference values per glass. Vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the normal function of the immune system. Its light tang pairs beautifully with honey.
Honey powder
3.6 g · the sweetnessIt gives the glass its rounded taste and golden colour, and softens the natural acidity of royal jelly. It is the only sweetening ingredient in the formula.
Soluble fibre (inulin)

The secret of freeze-drying
3 times more concentrated than non-freeze-dried royal jelly.
Non-freeze-dried royal jelly is 60 to 70% water. We remove it cold, without heating, to keep only what matters. That's freeze-drying.
-
Step 1
Non-freeze-dried royal jelly
Harvested by hand from the queen cells. Full of water, fragile, sour on the tongue, it must be kept cold and spoils quickly.
3,000 mg
-
Step 2
Freeze-drying
The royal jelly is frozen, then placed under vacuum. The ice turns straight into vapour, without ever heating. The active compounds stay intact.

Step 3
Freeze-dried royal jelly
Stable, measured to the milligram. All the active compounds of 3,000 mg of non-freeze-dried royal jelly fit into 1,000 mg of freeze-dried royal jelly: that's the dose in your glass.
1,000 mg
Why freeze-drying changes everything
- ×3
3 times more concentrated. 1,000 mg of freeze-dried royal jelly equals 3,000 mg of non-freeze-dried royal jelly, and the 10-HDA rises from 1.4–2% to 6%.
No fridge needed. Freeze-dried royal jelly keeps at room temperature, with no cold chain.
The right dose, every morning. One scoop, an exact dose, no guesswork.
Finally delicious. Freeze-dried, it blends with honey and acerola. No more acidity stinging your tongue.
What makes it worth the price
- Harvested by hand. Around 12 queen cells for a single glass, collected one by one, 72 hours after the larvae are placed.
- A slow process. A freeze-drying cycle takes tens of hours under vacuum, turning 3 kg of non-freeze-dried royal jelly into 1 kg of freeze-dried royal jelly.
- Tests on every batch. 10-HDA, antibiotics, pesticides, heavy metals, honey authenticity.

The real price of royal jelly
1,000 mg doesn't weigh the same everywhere.
On the market, royal jelly is almost always counted as non-freeze-dried royal jelly, which is 60 to 70% water. Our 1,000 mg is freeze-dried royal jelly: minus the water, 3 times more royal jelly. To compare honestly, we bring everything back to the same base.

Tip: the dose also mixes into a yoghurt, a smoothie or a warm plant-based milk.
The problem
Your mornings deserve the royal treatment.
One coffee to get going, a second to keep going, and a box of capsules you forget every other day. We've all been there. Here's what changes.
The routine that stings
Coffee as your only fuel
A kick, then the slump around 11 am. And you reach for another.
Sad capsules
Swallowed out of duty, no pleasure, abandoned after a week.
Vague dosages
“Royal jelly” on the label, but how many milligrams and what 10-HDA content? Rarely stated.
Murky origins
Mixed raw materials, packed who knows where.
The Apicure ritual
Energy that lasts all morning
Zero caffeine in the formula: you start gently, with no jolt and no crash.
A glass you actually want to drink
Honey, lemon, vanilla or orange: the kind of habit you keep because it feels good.
A dose stated to the milligram
3,000 mg of royal jelly per glass, i.e. 1,000 mg freeze-dried at 6% 10-HDA and 60 mg of 10-HDA.
Transparent about origin
Ingredient origin stated, blended and packed in a French laboratory, tests on every batch.
Api-culture
Royal jelly, the hive's best-kept secret
In a colony of 50,000 bees, only one gets it for life: the queen. Api will show you around.
-
1
Nurse bees at work
Young worker bees, aged 5 to 15 days, make royal jelly with glands located in their heads. A white, creamy, slightly tangy secretion.
-
2
3 days for everyone
Every larva gets a taste for its first three days. Then the future workers move on to honey and pollen. Only one larva carries on: the future queen.
-
3
The queen's diet
Fed exclusively on royal jelly, she grows twice as large, lays up to 2,000 eggs a day and lives up to 5 years. A worker bee lives around 6 weeks in summer.
-
4
Harvested by hand
The beekeeper places young larvae in cups. 72 hours later, they collect the royal jelly cell by cell, with a spatula. A hive yields only a few hundred grams per season. That's what makes it so precious.
-
5
Freeze-dried, then tested and packed in France
Cold-dried straight after harvest to keep its active compounds: it takes 3,000 mg of non-freeze-dried royal jelly to obtain 1,000 mg of freeze-dried royal jelly. In France, our partner laboratory tests every batch, blends it with honey, acerola and soluble fibre, then packs it in a pouch with its measuring scoop.

One more question? All the answers in the FAQ
Manifesto
We banished the pills.
And we gave royal jelly back what had been taken from it: pleasure.
It all started in front of a shelf
A box of magnesium, another of vitamin C, a third of royal jelly capsules. All opened, none finished. We bought them full of good intentions, then forgot them. Because swallowing a capsule at 7 am is nobody's idea of a moment to look forward to.
Meanwhile, coffee did the job. One, then two, then three. A kick, a crash, and round we went again.
The hive had the answer all along
In a hive, only one bee receives royal jelly her whole life: the queen. She lives up to 5 years while the workers live a few weeks. Beekeepers have known this treasure for generations, and science has studied it since 1959 and the discovery of its unique fatty acid, 10-HDA.
The problem was never royal jelly. It's the way we take it: as an anonymous capsule with an invisible dose, or neat, by the spoon, with a sour taste that stings the tongue and that we take from the tip of the spoon, grimacing.
Api-culture, the way we do things
We set ourselves 3 rules. A dose that counts: 3,000 mg of royal jelly a day, concentrated into 1,000 mg of freeze-dried royal jelly, around 12 hand-harvested queen cells. A guaranteed 10-HDA content of 6%, the level of premium royal jellies. And total transparency about origin.
It took months of formulation to find the right balance. Honey powder rounds off the acidity of royal jelly. Acerola brings its vitamin C and a fruity touch. The result dissolves in 10 seconds in a glass of water and tastes like a spoonful of warm honey. Then we created lemon, vanilla and orange versions, with natural flavourings, so the ritual never gets old.
Origin: we say it out loud
98% of the royal jelly consumed in France is imported, often without it being stated. We prefer to say it: our royal jelly and our honey are of non-EU origin, like most of the world's production. What makes the difference is the testing. Every batch is tested in France (10-HDA, antibiotics, pesticides, heavy metals, honey authenticity), then blended and packed in pouches in a French laboratory, following the HACCP method. When you open your box, you know exactly what's inside and where it comes from.
A ritual, not a chore
Apicure is a pun, and we own it: api as in bee in Latin, api which sounds just like “happy”, and a cure you finally want to stick with. Our mascot is called Api, and she has one mission: to make the first thing you do each day a pleasure.
The morning ritual that makes you Api.
Frequently asked questions
The questions creating a buzz
The formula
What is 10-HDA?
10-HDA (10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid) is a fatty acid found nowhere else in nature but royal jelly. It is its signature active compound, and the marker used to judge its quality: the higher the content, the richer the royal jelly.
Non-freeze-dried royal jelly generally contains 1.4 to 2%. Once freeze-dried, it becomes more concentrated. Ours is guaranteed at 6%, i.e. 60 mg of 10-HDA in every dose. Its antibacterial properties have been studied since 1959.
What does the drink taste like?
4 flavours, one formula. Honey, the original: soft and rounded, like a spoonful of honey melted into warm water. Lemon : sharp and refreshing. Vanilla : indulgent and comforting. Orange : sunny and fruity.
The natural acidity of royal jelly is rounded off by honey in all 4 versions. The lemon, vanilla and orange flavours use natural flavourings only. You can change flavour with every delivery from your customer account.
Is there any added sugar?
No refined sugar, no syrup, no sweeteners. The only source of sweetness is honey powder, a hive ingredient in its own right, present in a small amount: a full 7 g dose contains less honey than a teaspoon. As honey naturally contains sugars, we prefer to be transparent rather than claim “no added sugars”.
Why this price?
Because royal jelly is one of the rarest products of the hive. It is harvested by hand, cell by cell, 72 hours after the larvae are placed. A hive produces only a few hundred grams per season.
Every Apicure glass contains 3,000 mg of royal jelly (1,000 mg freeze-dried), around 12 queen cells, standardised to 6% 10-HDA and tested batch by batch. That's 3 times the dose of a standard pharmacy ampoule. On subscription, it comes to €1 a day with the 3-pouch course: the price of a coffee.
Per kilo, that's €333 in non-freeze-dried royal jelly equivalent, versus €2,000 to €2,900 for French non-freeze-dried royal jelly. The details are in the section The real price.
Where do the ingredients come from, and where is Apicure made?
Our royal jelly and our honey are of non-EU origin, like most of the royal jelly sold in France. The royal jelly is freeze-dried at source, straight after harvest, to preserve its active compounds. Everything then arrives at our partner laboratory in France, which tests every batch (10-HDA content, antibiotic residues, pesticides, heavy metals, honey authenticity). It then blends the formula and packs it in pouches following the HACCP method and European health standards. A non-compliant batch never ships.
When will I feel the difference?
Apicure is a ritual, not a quick fix. We recommend a course of at least 4 to 6 weeks, every morning, which means 2 pouches. That's why the 2-pouch course is our recommended plan. You can then carry on with your subscription, or do a course at every change of season and pause the subscription in between.
Subscription and delivery
What if I don't like Apicure?
You have 60 days after receiving your first order to change your mind. If you don't like the taste, or the course isn't for you: write to us with your order number and the reason for your request, and we'll guide you through the return and refund.
Conditions: once per customer (same name, address or payment method), on the first order only, including the first delivery of a subscription. The first pouch may be opened; the other pouches must be returned sealed, in their original condition. Return costs are at your expense. Refund within 14 days of receiving the return, by the same payment method.
How does the Api Cure subscription work?
Choose the length of your course: 1 pouch every 30 days (€34.90), 2 pouches every 60 days (€64.90, i.e. €32.45 per pouch) or 3 pouches every 90 days (€89.90, i.e. €29.97 per pouch). Free delivery. You are charged with each shipment, never in advance, and we email you 3 days before each dispatch.
From your customer account, you can at any time postpone the next shipment, pause, change the number of pouches or update your address.
How do I cancel my subscription?
In one click: log in to your customer account, open “My subscription” and click “Cancel”. No minimum term, no fees, no phone call to make. If you cancel before the next shipment date, nothing will be charged.
What are the delivery times?
Any order placed before 2 pm on a working day ships the same day from our laboratory in France. Then allow 2 to 4 working days in mainland France. Delivery is free, for one-off purchases and subscriptions alike.
Use
Can I mix it into a hot drink?
Warm yes, hot no. Above 40 °C, royal jelly loses some of its qualities. Lukewarm or cold water, warm plant-based milk, yoghurt or smoothie: they all work. Just avoid a freshly brewed tea or coffee.
Who shouldn't take it?
Apicure contains royal jelly and honey. It is not recommended for people allergic to bee products (honey, royal jelly, propolis, pollen, bee stings) or with asthma, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or for children under 6. If on anticoagulant treatment, treatment for high blood pressure or in case of hormone-dependent cancer, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
How should I store the pouch?
Reseal the zip firmly after each use and keep the pouch in a dry place, away from heat and light. No fridge needed: freeze-drying makes royal jelly stable. Once opened, use within 30 days, i.e. during your course.
