Bee propolis, also called bee glue, is made from tree propolis, a sticky resin that seeps from the buds and bark of certain trees. Bees gather propolis and blend it with wax flakes secreted from glands in their abdomens. Bees sterilize their hive by coating it with propolis. Its natural antiseptic qualities ensure a clean
Environment for healthy brood rearing.
Shown to possess antibacterial and antifungal properties, propolis has been used as a natural antibiotic. One component of honeybee propolis, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (cape) , is known for its anticancer, anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating
Properties (proceedings of the national academy of science, USA, aug. 1996) .
Although the molecular basis for these properties isn't known, propolis has been used to stimulate immune responses, soothe allergies, and reduce susceptibility to colds and flu.
Studies by polish researchers showed that besides fighting bacteria and fungi, propolis stimulates some enzyme actions, inhibits the growth of protozoa, accelerates bone formation and regenerates tissue [arzneimittel-forschung, 1980, vol. 30,
As cited in the honest herbal (pharmaceutical products press) by varro e. Tyler, ph. D. ].
Royal Jelly: full of nutrients
Royal jelly is a thick, milky-white substance made from bee pollen in the bodies of nurse bees who care for the brood's eggs. It offers an abundance of b vitamins as well as vitamins a, c and e. It also contains 20 amino acids, fatty acids, potassium, calcium, zinc, iron, manganese and acetylcholine. This milky substance
Also contains gamma-globulin, an immune-stimulating substance.
According to a recent review article, royal jelly could be used to fight atherosclerosis--the deposition of fat in arteries. In animal studies, royal jelly decreased blood serum lipid and cholesterol levels. In addition, it retarded the formation of fatty arterial deposits in the aortas of animals fed a high-fat diet.
The same article also reviews controlled human trials using royal jelly to reduce hyperlipidemia and reports a significant reduction in total blood serum lipids and cholesterol levels and normalization of high-density lipoprotein (hdl) and low-density lipoprotein (ldl) levels (experientia, 1995, vol. 51) .
Studies in humans also indicate doses of royal jelly (50 to 100 mg. Per day) decreased total serum cholesterol levels by about 14 percent and total serum lipids by about 10 percent. "it's believed royal jelly decreases resorption of cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract and increases its excretion in the bile so that
Less cholesterol and other fat is available in the circulation, " say the authors, adding that royal jelly may also suppress the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver
