Royal jelly is exceptionally rich in pantothenic acid (a B vitamin believed to prevent grey hair), and in pyridoxin and biotin (also B vitamins). Dr. Gardner mixed up a brew of these three ingredients and a substance known as sodium yeast nucleate, and fed it to some fruit flies. The exciting result: the Gardner mixture increased the fruit flies' average life span 46%; pantothenic acid alone increased...
