Pediatrician Dr. Elif Pınar Çakır said, “It is essential to contribute to children's nutrition with natural products. Bee products such as royal jelly, propolis, pollen, bee bread are good supporters at this point. Moreover, you can support the growth and development of children while providing immune support.”
Natural bee products such as propolis, pollen, royal jelly and bee bread can help protect children from diseases. With the phenolic compounds, minerals and vitamins they contain, they can help protect children from epidemics that they may catch in the fall and winter months or help them overcome them more easily. Bee products specialist Dr. Aslı Elif Tanuğur Samancı and Pediatrician Dr. Elif Pınar Çakır talked about the natural immune support from bee products.
“Helps protect children from diseases”
Bee products specialist Dr. Aslı Elif Tanuğur Samancı noted that pure Anatolian propolis shows antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating, antibacterial and antifungal properties with more than 300 components. Samancı said, “Thanks to the phenolic compounds and flavonoids it contains, it contributes to the normal function of the immune system of children. It helps protect children from diseases with its antibacterial and antiviral properties, especially upper respiratory diseases. In scientific studies, it is stated that when 10 drops of an extract containing at least 10 percent pure Anatolian propolis are consumed regularly every day, it has an immune system strengthening effect.”
“Both immunity and growth support with fresh royal jelly”
Pediatrician Dr. Elif Pınar Çakır said, “With the opening of schools and the gradual cooling of the weather, unfortunately, influenza, seasonal flu, RSV and upper respiratory diseases have started to be seen in children. In such periods, it is of course important to pay attention to personal hygiene and eat healthy food in order to be as protected as possible. We should frequently remind children about hygiene rules and, as parents, make sure that they eat well and adequately. It is essential to contribute to children's nutrition with natural products. Bee products such as royal jelly, propolis, pollen and bee bread are good supporters at this point. Moreover, you can support the growth and development of children while providing immune support. In 2019, according to the results of a scientific study conducted at Isparta Süleyman Demirel University, it is possible to say that royal jelly has a potential value in supporting growth and development in children. Children can consume a quarter to half a teaspoon of fresh royal jelly a day.”
