Synergistic combination of a bee pollen extract, propolis extract and royal jelly extract

It is fascinating that bees have their own health system, which has a special focus on hygiene. The bee hive is cleaned regularly from waste products and the legs of every bee are disinfected by the propolis before they enter the hive. This is crucial, because a disease can eliminate an entire bee population.
Standardised bee pollen extract
Bee pollen is regarded as a fountain of youth. Bees mix pollen with bee secretion during the collection, which starts a fermentation process and makes the active ingredients of the pollen utilisable.
Bee pollen contains vitamins, minerals, trace elements, essential amino and fatty acids, enzymes and secondary plant substances such as flavanoids. Furthermore, it contains polyphenols, which are known for their antioxidant properties.
The bee pollen extract in the tablets by Fairvital is standardised to 10% amino acids and 3% mineral salts.

Standardised propolis extract

Propolis means “outside the town”, whereas the Greek word propoliso means “to stick”. The bees collect propolis for various reasons. On the one hand, they build a “foot mat” in front of the entrance hole (outside the town), which has disinfectant properties and ensures that every bee has clean feet. On the other hand, bees use propolis to seal cracks and gaps and to reinforce the combs.
Propolis is a mixture of resinous substances, which are collected by the bees and mixed with their secretions. Bees collect them from buds and the bark of specific trees, resinous conifers in particular. The composition of propolis differs from bee hive to bee hive. The colour depends on the type of tree, from which the resins are collected: For example, propolis from the horse chestnut tree is red, it’s dark-brown from the birch tree and yellow from the alder tree.
The base substances are resinous components of flower buds and from wounds in the trunk of trees. Further substances include wax, pollen, saliva and essential oils from buds.
The healthy bee glue is rich in flavonoids such as galangin, pinobanksin acetate, prenyl flavonoid, chrysin, isonymphaeol B, pinocebrim, nymphaeol A, nymphaeol B and nymphaeol C. However, propolis also contains substances like gum, phenols and polysaccharides.
The propolis extract in this product is standardised to 3% galangin.

Standardised royal jelly extract

Royal jelly is the larval food, which with bees feed their queen bees. The bees extract it from flower pollen. The mixture of secretions produced by the hypopharyngeal and maxillary glands of worker bees is used to feed the bee larvae during the first three larvae stages. It supports their growth and development enormously. The queen bee is fed with royal jelly until the queen cell is capped. It has been assumed for a long time that royal jelly is the reason that a bee larva develops into a queen bee and not a worker bee.
Royal jelly consist of different ingredients including mineral salts, estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, trace elements, vitamins and proteins.
Its immunologic properties make royal jelly a valuable dietary supplement.
The royal jelly extract in this dietary supplement by Fairvital is standardised to 4% 10-hydroxy-2-decanoic acid (10-HDA). The fatty acid is an important quality attribute of royal jelly and is able to protect cells and tissue.
