The science behind this product
Bee Bread for Muscles
During research, refeeding diets that contained fresh monofloral bee pollen improved muscle mass and metabolism in old, undernourished rats.

Bee pollen improves muscle protein and energy metabolism in malnourished old rats through interfering with the mTOR signaling pathway and mitochondrial activity. Nutrients. 2014 Dec 1;6(12):5500-16. doi: 10.3390/nu6125500. PMID: 25470375; PMCID: PMC4276980.
Bee Bread Antimicrobial Effects
Bacteria of the genus Bacillus have been identified as an essential component of mature and stored BB and dried BP. Moreover, the study's outcomes revealed that BP and BB could be considered potential sources of bacteria-producing antimicrobial agents and/or enzymes of particular industrial importance.
