Power of Bee Supplements
Bee Pollen
Bee pollen then and now is described bysome as “a life-giving dust”. Human consumption of bee pollen is praised in the Bible, other religious books, and ancient Chinese and Egyptian texts. Bee Pollen is another bee product used in alternative medicine and sold by some health food stores as a nutritional supplement. Some people believe that ingesting pollens will help to build resistance to them, although it is possible to have a severe allergic reaction to these pollens.
Bee Propolis
Bee propolis is the the sticky substance which bees use to hold the hive together. Anti-inflamatory properties were confirmed in the studies of effectiveness of propolis for immunostimulation. Propolis induce TGF-beta1 production of human immune cells. Propolis contains almost 500 times more bioflavonoids than oranges! The anti-inflammatory and antiboitic properties of Propolis may prove active againt sore throats, colds, coughs, flu and much more. Bee Propolis also inhibits prostaglandin production, thereby stopping inflammation.
Bee Propolis is a resin gathered from plants by bees and used in the construction of hives. Also used o seal cracks in the hive like glue. Proplis is a natural alternative to penicillin and other antibiotics. One of the most powerful foods found in nature, Propolis is a highly complex mixture of waxes, resins, balsams, oils and a small amount of pollen.
Bee Propolis is a waxy substance collected by honey bees which contains phytotonizides. Phytotonizides make Propolis a safe and effective natural antibiotic and eliminates the drug reactions or resistance seen with prescription antibiotics. It is best to process Propolis in frozen format for easy human consumption.
The application of Propolis is borad like cancer, sore throat, infection of urinary tract, colds, influenze, etc. Except for vitamin K, Propolis contans all known vitamins and has 14 of 15 minerals the human body requires to function.
Royal Jelly
Royal Jelly is a creamy white substance synthesized by the common worker bee only for feeding the Queen bee. Royal Jelly transforms the queen into an incredible insect, enhancing her phyiscal performance to unimaginable levels.
Royal Jelly is so named because it is the highly concentrated, nutritious food of the hive’s most important resident, the Queen Bee. For first 2-3 days, all young larvae are fed with royal jelly. If a queen is desired, the hatchling will receive only royal jelly as its food source, in order that she will become sexually mature and have the fully developed ovaries needed to lay more eggs for the hive. The queen (fed only on royal jelly for her entire life) reaches maturity 5 days earlier than the worker bees; and, when she is fully grown, her weight is double that of the working bee. The life span of worker bee is about 45 days however Queen Bee could live 5-6 years which is remarkable. During a season she might easily make up to 2,000 eggs a day. But now the secret is known the way to transform an ordinary bee larva into a queen bee is the semi-miraculous royal jelly.
Royal jelly is collected and sold as a dietary supplement, claiming various health benefits because of components like B-complex vitamins such as pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine).
