When should you use this organic fortifying syrup for fatigue?
Arkoroyal Organic Family Fortifying Syrup combines three bee products and a fruit rich in vitamin C: royal jelly, honey, propolis extract, and acerola berry juice powder—all sourced from organic farming. A 10-ml dose provides 250 mg of royal jelly, including 3.5 mg of 10-HDA, 650 mg of honey, 33 mg of propolis extract, and 85 mg of acerola powder. A 20-ml dose doubles these amounts. The strawberry flavor comes from a natural flavoring, and the syrup’s color comes solely from its ingredients.
Acerola is the source of the formula’s vitamin C: 12 mg per 10 ml—equal to 15% of the reference nutritional values—and 24 mg per 20 ml. Vitamin C helps reduce fatigue. This is what makes this syrup so valuable during times when you’re pushed to your limits: a busy start to the school year, the end of a quarter, a long winter, or getting back into sports after a long break.
The same vitamin C supports the normal functioning of the immune system. This is the product’s second key benefit, and it also explains the inclusion of royal jelly and propolis in the formula: they have long been used to support seasonal changes, just like the other organic royal jelly dietary supplements in our apitherapy section, and honey serves here as both a carrier and an ingredient.
One bottle is all you need at home: the syrup is suitable for the whole family ages 3 and up, with two dosage options—one for children and teens, and the other for those 15 and older. The 140-ml bottle provides a 14-day treatment at the children’s dosage and a 7-day treatment at the adult dosage: in a family where several people are taking it at the same time, it’s best to plan accordingly and purchase the necessary number of bottles.
We recommend combining this treatment with Arkofluides Plant-Based Vitamin D3. Vitamin D is the only immune-supporting nutrient not included in this formula, and it is precisely the one that becomes depleted from October through March due to a lack of sufficient sunlight: it also contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, without duplicating the effects of the vitamin C in the syrup. The drops can also be taken by children as young as 3 years old, with a dosage tailored to each age group.

Precautions
- Not recommended for people with a history of allergies to bee products.
- Pollen allergy, atopic predisposition, asthma: Consult a healthcare professional before starting this product, both for yourself and your child. Pollen allergy is a recognized risk factor for allergy to bee products, and severe reactions have been reported after taking royal jelly or propolis supplements in individuals allergic to pollen.
- Stop taking the product and seek medical attention if you experience a rash, itching, swelling of the lips or face, coughing, or difficulty breathing after taking it. If you experience difficulty breathing or swelling of the throat, call emergency services immediately.
- Not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
- Not suitable for children under 3 years of age.
- Anticoagulant therapy involving vitamin K antagonists: consult your doctor or pharmacist. An increase in the INR has been reported in a patient taking warfarin who also consumed royal jelly.
- History of hormone-dependent conditions: Seek medical advice before starting a course of royal jelly.
- Avoid multiple, prolonged, or repeated doses without consulting a healthcare professional. Opt for short courses with breaks in between rather than continuous use throughout the cold season.
- Do not combine this syrup with other sources of royal jelly, propolis, honey, or vitamin C on the same day: ampoules, gummies, throat lozenges, and multivitamins can quickly add up to multiple sources, especially in children.
- The syrup is sweetened with cane sugar, wheat syrup, maltodextrin, and honey. Have your child brush their teeth after taking it, and keep this in mind if you’re monitoring your sugar intake.
- Organic wheat syrup is derived from wheat: this is important to know for those following a strict wheat-free diet. The product is also labeled as gluten-free.
- Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
- Dietary supplements should be used as part of a healthy lifestyle and are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
- A slight sediment may form due to the product’s natural composition; this does not affect its quality.
- Store at a temperature below 25°C. After opening, keep the bottle in the refrigerator and use it within one month. Keep out of reach of young children.

Our Expert Advice on Arkoroyal Family Fortifying Syrup
The most important factor to consider above all else is a history of allergies. A syrup that combines royal jelly, propolis, and honey contains three sources of proteins and pollen residues of bee origin, and pollen allergy is a recognized risk factor for an allergic reaction to these products: Severe reactions, including throat swelling, have been reported after taking supplements of this type in people with pollen allergies. If you, or the child for whom you intend to use this product, are allergic to grasses, birch, or ragweed, or if you have asthma or a known atopic predisposition, consult your doctor or pharmacist before giving the first spoonful. And regardless of the individual’s predisposition, we recommend giving the first dose in the morning, on a day when someone will be home for the next few hours, rather than at bedtime.
Regarding how to conduct the treatment, there are two things worth mentioning at the counter. The first concerns the dosage: one bottle lasts fourteen days for a child, but only seven days for an adult, and seven days isn’t really enough for a long-term treatment—plan on two bottles if an adult is taking it. The second concerns combination use. Royal jelly, propolis, and vitamin C are available throughout the aisle, from syrup to ampoules to throat lozenges: this syrup should be taken on its own, not in addition to another source. Finally, we recommend short treatment courses with breaks in between rather than continuous use from November through March, and any opened bottle that isn’t finished within a month should be replaced, even if it has been stored in a cool place.
FAQ
Can I give Arkoroyal Organic Family Fortifying Syrup to a child with a pollen allergy?
Not without prior medical advice. Pollen allergy is a recognized risk factor for allergies to bee products, and this syrup contains three such products. A child with a pollen allergy, asthma, or atopic predisposition should consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking this product for the first time. If a rash, swollen lips, cough, or difficulty breathing occurs after taking the product, stop use immediately and seek medical advice.
At what age can children start taking Arkoroyal Organic Family Fortifying Syrup?
From age 3, at a dose of 2 teaspoons per day up to age 14, then 4 teaspoons per day starting at age 15. This product is not suitable for children under 3 years of age. Since the syrup is sweet, children should brush their teeth after taking it.
How long does a bottle of Arkoroyal Organic Family Fortifying Syrup last?
Fourteen days at a dose of 10 ml per day, which applies to children and adolescents up to age 14. At the adult dose of 20 ml per day, the same bottle lasts only seven days; a full course of treatment therefore requires two bottles. Once opened, the bottle should be stored in the refrigerator and used within one month.
Does Arkoroyal Organic Family Fortifying Syrup replace the former Arkoroyal Junior Fortifying Syrup?
Yes, it’s the same product, reformulated and renamed. The Family version is distinguished by its naturally sourced vitamin C from acerola, ingredients from organic farming, and, most importantly, a revised dosage: it is now intended for the entire family ages 3 and up, rather than just children. The amounts per dose and usage instructions differ from those on the old bottle: the information on the new version is the official guide.
