Bee Pollen
Often called a ‘perfect food’, extensive tests on animals show that life can be sustained on an exclusive diet of bee pollen and water. That proves Bee Pollen is a complete food in every sense of the world. The nutritional tests have demontrated that pollen is a complete food, that is possible to let several generations be born and live without the least sign of distress, while nourishing them exclusively on bee pollen. Bee Pollen may benefit our health in all kinds of ways, increasing energy, promotes weight loss and acts as an appetite suppressant. 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 is used by bees to seal the hive.
Think of a natural way to cure infection without prescription antibiotics. 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! As well, Bee propolis boosts immune functioning, specifically by increasing the activity of phagocytes (killer cells). Propolis is also extremely high in plant compounds that have antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties.
Bee Propolis is manufactured by honey bees after they gather resin from deciduous tree bark and leaves. Also used o seal cracks in the hive like glue. Propolis has numerous immune building properties. Propolis contains approximately 50%-70% resins, 30% wax, 10% etheric oils and 5% pollen.
Propolis is taken by mouth or used externally to sterilize and disinfect skin irritations, cuts, rashes and bruises because it contains phyotonizides. Phytotonizides make Propolis a safe and effective natural antibiotic and eliminates the drug reactions or resistance seen with prescription antibiotics. In order to ensure max effectiveness, Propolis must be kept in propert temperature when gathered.
Rich in biofavonoids, Propolis may help in healing and mending blood vessels and resisting the release of histamine. Except for vitamin K, Propolis contans all known vitamins and has 14 of 15 minerals the human body requires to function.
Royal Jelly is a creamy white substance synthesized by the common worker bee only for feeding the Queen bee. Despite extensive studies, Royal Jelly chemical compoents remains a mystery.The Queen bee has a remarkable long life and reproductiive capacity compared to worker bees.
Man can’t recreate Royal Jelly and only Mother Nature and her bees can create this amazing substance. For 2-3 days, royal jelly is the only food given to all young larvae in their maturation process, while for the queen larvae, it is the specific food for their whole life period. During the 3 days in which the worker bee larvae are fed on royal jelly, they reach the maximum development; their weight multiplies about 250 times. An adult Queen is almost 50% larger than the workers and can lay 2500 eggs in a day. The span of the worker bee’s life is about 35-40 days; while the queen lives 5-6 years and is extremely prolific. The queen bees reproductive capabilities are also exceptional, she can make thousands of eggs in a day. As incredible as this may seem, she can lay that many eggs for five years.
This rich concentrated food is not just helpful for the bees. It contains remarkable amounts of proteins, lipids, glucides, vitamins, hormones, enzymes, mineral substances, and specific essential factors that act as biocatalysts in cell restoration processes within the human body.
