Summary

This study tested whether a substance from royal jelly, called Royalactin, helps heal diabetic foot ulcers. Ten people with Wagner grade II ulcers received either Royalactin or a placebo applied to their wound three times a week for four weeks. Researchers measured wound size and looked at tissue samples to see how the ulcers were healing.
