Throughout history there have been many documentations of the nutritional and healing powers of the 4 natural bee products from the bee hive - Bee Pollen, Bee Propolis, Royal Jelly and Raw Honey. Bee products, when consumed by people that are recovering from illness, can help them get better nutrition and regain their strength. Bee products have been used for many, many centuries all over the world to benefit convalescents, the elderly, people that are recovering from illness, and athletes.

Why Use Bee Active!?

Bee Active! is a gift from the living bee hive that is an all natural product that contains all the nutrients essential and necessary for all the functioning of a healthy body and mind. Bee Active! contains all 4 bee products - Bee Pollen, Propolis, Royal Jelly, and Honey - and also includes Chromium Picolinate. Bee Active! is high in vitamin B-complex, vitamin C, D, and E, trace minerals, live enzymes, rich in proteins (35%), 22 amino acids, and essential fatty acids.

Bee Pollen

Bee pollen is often referred to as nature’s complete and only “perfect” food because it has all the necessary ingredients to sustain human life. It is rich in proteins (10-35 percent), 22 amino acids, vitamin C, B-complex and folic acid, polyunsaturated fatty acids, enzymes, carotene, and all essential minerals including calcium and potassium. Bee pollen contains an antibiotic shown potent against E.Coli and Proteus, and is effective in treating seasonal pollen induced allergies. The effect of bee pollen acts favorably in the intestines, on the hemoglobin level of the blood, in the renewal of strength in convalescents and the aged, and increased energy and stamina in athletes. Pollen, as part of a sensible diet, can be a valuable weight loss food.

Bee Propolis

Propolis is a natural antibiotic that can support and strengthen the body’s immune system, and acts as a natural antioxidant. Propolis stimulates phagocytosis, which helps the white blood cells to destroy bacteria. Studies show that people who take this natural germ fighter as a part of their regular diet can avoid winter colds and sore throats. Unlike chemical antibiotics which destroy all bacteria in the body, propolis works against the harmful bacteria without destroying the good bacteria that the body needs, and the body does not build up a tolerance to propolis as it can with chemical antibiotics. Propolis shows good results against inflammation, halitosis, tonsillitis, ulcers, and acne. Remember, the most sterile place in nature is the bee hive! The nutritional value alone makes propolis an important dietary supplement, especially when combined with the other bee products in Bee/Ginseng.

Royal Jelly

Nature’s rejuvenator has been credited with amazing regeneration powers, rich in proteins, 18 amino acids, vitamins A, C, D, E, and B-complex including a high concentration of pantothenic acid (B5) and pyridoxine (B6), trace minerals, enzymes, hormones, and many other nutrients. Synthesized in nurse bees bodies, this milky white food is fed directly to the queen bee enabling her to live for 5 years instead of 3 months. A Canadian study shows amazing longevity in life, even with tumor cells present, and a potent sex hormone has been verified by researchers at NY Medical College. Royal jelly is known to aid in bronchial asthma, pancreatitis, liver and kidney disease, ulcers, and skin disorders. Royal jelly has antibacterial and antibiotic properties and can boost the immune system. Much research has been done to determine the pharmacological make up of royal jelly, and still 20% of it remains a mystery to scientists today.

Raw Honey

Known as a complete instant energy food, honey is also a natural pain reliever. Honey has all the essential minerals necessary for sustaining life and also contains 7 B-complex vitamins, vitamins C, D, and E, live enzymes and other vital nutrients. Honey is 35 percent protein (1/2 of all the amino acids) and like pollen and propolis, honey has an antimicrobial effect as well. Many references to its nutritional value and beneficial effects for humans have been recorded throughout history. Even on a low sugar or restricted diet, you can still enjoy the benefits of Bee/Ginseng with less than 3 calories per caplet.

Chromium Picolinate

The average American diet is chromium deficient. Two out of three Americans are either hypoglycemic, pre-hypoglycemic, or diabetic. The lack of this nutrient in our soil and water supply, and a diet high in refined white sugar, flour, and junk foods all contribute to a deficiency.

Chromium is needed for energy, is involved in the metabolism of glucose, maintains stable blood sugar levels, and is also vital in the synthesis of cholesterol, fats, and protein. The lack of chromium in our diet can lead to less-than-optimal muscle and fat metabolism. It is important for the person that is trying to lose weight to avoid a chromium deficiency because insulin resistance can lead to increases in body fat and can impair proper muscle metabolism.

There have been studies that show chromium supplementation may indeed help people lose excess body fat and gain muscle. Test subjects who consumed 200 mcg. of chromium per day over a 10-week period lost 3.3 lbs. of fat and gained 1.5 lbs. of muscle, while the placebo group lost only .4 lbs. of fat and did not gain any lean body mass.
