PROPERTIES OF PROPOLIS Propolis is a mixture of waxy and resinous substances that bees collect from various trees and use it to seal the cracks of the hive. It has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties and has been used for centuries as a folk remedy. In fact, in the 16th century it was recognized in England as an official medicine.

Propolis is also used to cover the carcasses of small animals that have invaded the hive and been killed by bees. This avoids rotting the corpses and creating pathogenic outbreaks inside the hive. The main substances of pharmacological interest present in propolis are bioflavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, apigenin, etc.) terpenes and phenolic compounds.

Animal and in vitro studies have shown antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties of propolis. Many pathogens, including influenza and herpes viruses, as well as various bacteria and fungi are susceptible to propolis. In a study of young students given aqueous propolis extract, both the incidence and severity of episodes of acute and chronic rhinopharyngitis were reduced, while a study of 10 volunteers given the same extract was effective against oral bacteria.

According to another study conducted in Cuba, propolis is more effective against yard than a known chemical drug used to infest parasites from this whip protozoan. Propolis also has anti-cancer properties, according to the results of at least two studies, since it prevented the development of colon cancer in rats treated with the carcinogen azoxymethane.

Finally, propolis, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, may be useful in some cases of arthritis, while it has remarkable properties applied topically: according to animal studies reduced the size of cancerous tumors by 74%, when it came in direct contact with cancer cells . Propolis applied to the gums helps fight periodontal disease.

CONTRAINDICATIONS - PRECAUTIONS Side effects from the use of propolis are relatively rare. Cases of dermatitis from topical use have been reported, while from internal use hypersensitivity reactions have been reported, including rhinitis, conjunctivitis, skin rashes. The use of propolis in pregnant and lactating women is not recommended.

PROPERTIES OF BEE POLLEN Considered as the most complete food of nature, bee pollen contains an extremely large number of nutrients, including 22 amino acids, vitamins (especially B complex), minerals, bioflavonoids, natural enzymes, especially , hormones, glycosides, essential fatty acids. Bee pollen has been known since ancient times as a wonderful food.

In modern times, scientists have only recently tackled it to find, mainly from its chemical composition and from animal studies, that the data seem to justify its reputation. First, Soviet scientists in the 1970s and 1980s expressed the view that bee pollen increased endurance and improved the performance of athletes, who in turn attributed several of their top performances to the aid of bee pollen. The same was claimed by the Finnish runners who achieved amazing performances and won gold medals in the 500 and 1000 meters at the Munich Olympics (1972).

Another interesting property of bee pollen emerged from a study by scientists in Ohio, USA: when given to two groups of rats for 12 weeks, the first a normal diet and the second bee pollen, they found that the second group had less fat at the end of the experiment and more muscle mass. It remains to be seen if something similar happens to humans.

Another notable property of bee pollen is that it helps treat benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis, and can be combined with Saw Palmetto and / or Pygeum, herbs with proven anti-benign prostatic hyperplasia. Bee pollen may be useful in glaucoma, due to its abundant routine, and in the treatment of bacterial infections, while it has a reputation for increasing sperm count and enhancing male fertility.

CONTRAINDICATIONS - PRECAUTIONS If you are an allergic person and want to xuse pollen, start with 1/4 of a tablespoon for pollen grains and 20-50 mg for capsules. If you do not have allergic reactions, continue to increase the dosage slowly, until you reach two tablespoons of granules or 500 mg in capsules. Some people even have severe allergic reactions to pollen, but these reactions should not be associated with allergies caused by spring pollen. A person may be allergic to the pollen they breathe, but not to the pollen they take orally, and vice versa.
