Scientific Publications

A recent study conducted at Giresun University investigated the antidiabetic activity of ethanolic propolis extracts in vivo and in-vitro. The trial involved four groups of five rats each; the control group was given distilled water orally, and diabetic ones received 30% or 15% propolis extract at a dosage of 0.5 ml/100 g for 4 weeks. The results of the study showed a decrease in blood glucose levels from 393±192.7 to 154±28.0 mg/dl and from 386±141.1 to 331.5±123.74 mg/dl in rats treated with 30% and 15% propolis, respectively.

Collagen constitutes about one-third of whole-body proteins, and it is the main structural protein of various connective tissues such as skin and cartilage in the body. Collagen has many vital functions, including building skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments, making cartilage, which is the flexible tissue between bones and in ears and nose, and creating muscles and blood vessels. Several factors influence the appearance, structure, and integrity of the skin, such as aging, hormones, UV radiation, and nutrition.

The Importance of Royal Jelly in Child Nutrition

Scientific Publications

Nothing is more worthy than the health of our kids. That's why we care very much about their diet with all-natural foods. One of the most well-known natural, nutritious food is royal jelly! It contains B-complex vitamins and minerals of magnesium, calcium, and iron in addition to 10-HDA and royalactin. Research carried out at Children's Hospital of Assiut University in 2016 investigated the immunomodulatory effects of fresh royal jelly administration on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in children.

Health Benefits of Bee Bread

Scientific Publications

Bee bread is a natural product produced from the pollen of which the outer coat is digested by the intrinsic enzymes on the bees, rendering its nutrients become bioavailable. As the outer coat of pollen is fermented, many beneficial bacteria such as Lactic acid bacteria grow, and it becomes more digestible. Hence, bee bread is a healthy probiotic food due to the presence of Lactobacillus bacteria.

The Effect of Propolis on Influenza Virus

Scientific Publications, Propolis and Coronavirus

Joint research of the Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty of Kyushu University and Food Science Department of Campinas University in 2008 investigated the antiviral efficacy of propolis extracts against influenza viruses (flu) under in vivo and in vitro conditions. The experimental design involved oral feeding of virus-infected mice with propolis extracts at different doses of 0.4 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg ve 10 mg/kg three times during seven days, while the control group received none. The scientists reported a faster recovery in the symptoms in mice treated with propolis depending on the increase in dosage. The observed positive effects on body weight and the survival times of infected mice were related to the antiviral activity of propolis, blocking the growth of the virus...

Can propolis prevent the coronavirus from entering the cell?

Scientific Publications, Propolis and Coronavirus

Recent reports demonstrate that the COVID-19 virus binds to the ACE-2 enzyme on the cell membrane, facilitating its entry. Then the virus leaves its RNA for multiplication, resulting in the development of pneumonia and many symptoms such as shorth breathing. So, a critical question is what compounds or drugs prevent the entrance of the virus into our cells. Many scientific studies propose that symptoms of viral infection can be reduced and controlled by blocking the ACE-2 enzyme binding sites. Is propolis capable of inhibiting the ACE-2 enzyme? "A scientific study conducted at Florida University in 2008 reported that ACE, the angiotensin-converting enzyme, is responsible for making ACE2 enzyme from ACE1 protein. In other words, it means that if there no ACE enzyme in the environment, there would be no ACE2 enzyme present in the cells. That means viruses cannot enter into the cells and multiply.

Research carried out at the Pharmaceutical School of Campinas University in 2008 investigated the effectiveness of propolis on the influenza virus, causing common flu under in vitro conditions in mice. The experiment was conducted with propolis prepared in alcohol. The results of the study showed that propolis was effective in controlling the reproduction of the virus and decreased flu symptoms. The scientists suggested that alcohol extract of propolis is a beneficial dietary supplement for humans against the influenza virus.
