Queen bee acid (10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid or 10-HDA) is a fatty acid found in royal jelly.[1][2][3]

Queen bee acid is being investigated for its potential pharmacological activities. It promotes neurogenesis of neural stem/progenitor cells (cells capable of differentiating into neurons, astrocytes, or oligodendrocytes) in vitro.[4] In addition, queen bee acid has been reported to have in vitro anti-tumor, anti-biotic, immunomodulatory, estrogenic, neurogenic, and innate immune response modulating activities.[5]

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has taken legal action against companies that have used unfounded claims of health benefits to market royal jelly products.[6][7]
