Treat Osteoporosis with Bee Products

Osteoporosis is a disease that leads to the decrease of bones’ density. This condition affects 1 of 6 women and 1 of 8 men, being mostly found in women who have stopped having menstruation (menopause). The disease develops itself silently, without you even knowing that you have it. After a few years, some symptoms emerge, such as pain, back deformation and even fractures.

Risk factors

Our bones rich their maximum density and strength between 20 and 30 years old, and then the reconstruction process slowly ends. For women, the major bone loss is caused by menopause, when the levels of estrogen decrease incredibly fast.

Other risk factors that lead to osteoporosis

• Prolonged hormonal imbalance
• Excessive use of medicine, such as steroids
• Lack of calcium or vitamin D
• No physical movement
• Consumption of tobacco, alcohol and caffeine

Bee products for osteoporosis

For osteoporosis, apitherapy offers a few natural remedies that can be bought from health stores or obtained from diverse combinations of honey and medicinal plants. Royal jelly, for example, is a great natural product that can be used against this awful disease.

This bee product stops the decalcification of the bones, strengthens the bones and the whole body, and it also rejuvenates and gives energy to the tissues.

In a recently-published study (2012) in Joint Diseases & Related Surgery conducted in animals, researchers sustain that royal jelly and pollen can actually heal osteoporosis. In various tests on rats, researchers have discovered that this product increases the levels of calcium and phosphor inside the bones and protects the body from losing any bone mass, which is strongly connected with osteoporosis.
