Bee Venom Therapy

Throughout the history of civilisation, bee venom has been well known as a medicine. Its therapeutic effect and benefits are described in the works of ancient natural scientists and doctors, such as Hippocratus (IV century AD), Plinius (I century), Halen (II century).

Bee venom is a unique multi-component complex, which contains about 30 biologically active compounds, some of which are practically impossible to get synthesized by chemical methods.The main components are peptides: melittin, apamin, peptide 401, adolapin, and protease inhibitors.

Bee venom is a complex mixture of enzymes and peptides.

  1. Melittin:
  • Melittin constitutes about 50% of the venom’s dry weight.
  • It consists of 26 amino acids and has antiviral, antibacterial, and anticancer effects.
  • Melittin is responsible for the pain associated with bee stings.
  1. Enzymes:

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2): Involved in inflammatory responses and generates fatty acids and lysophospholipids.

Phospholipase B (PLB): Participates in fatty acid remodeling.

Hyaluronidase: Facilitates the diffusion of toxins within tissues.

Innovative use of bee venom as a food supplement

Side by side with traditional bee sting therapy it is possible now to use bee venom in health products as a food supplement. New Zealand happened to be the first country in the world that started using Bee Venom as an ingredient in products for health (blend of honey and venom).
