Product information

Manuka VENZTM Propolis is completely natural product formulated from special blend of Manuka honey and Bee venom VENZ and New Zealand propolis extract.

Well known properties of propolis as very strong natural antibiotic and analgesic in combination with strong anti-inflammatory properties of bee venom make the product very beneficial for people with the following conditions:

Maximum penetration of bee venom into bloodstream when taking Manuka VENZTM Propolis is carried out through the larynx and mouth mucous membranes. This affects every part of the body starting with cell membranes and finishing with painful body parts. It provides the body’s central system with a regulating influence over internal corticosteroid hormonal secretion.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ACTIVE INGREDIENTS.

BEE VENOM

Bee venom is a product secreted by a special gland in the body of working honeybees. Bee venom contains many powerful healing components with unique pharmacological properties. These include 11 peptides, 5 enzymes, 3 physiologically active amines, carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids.

Bee venom VENZTM as a food supplement

For the first time in New Zealand a new health product with bee venom for oral use has been developed and produced by ApiHealth NZ Ltd . This is Manuka Honey with bee venom for human consumption. This products provide an alternative method of achieving the same health benefit of bee sting therapy, but without the pain.

Production technology has been developed and patented by ApiHealth (NZ patent #333790).

Dr. Nikolai Nikolaev suggested using dry bee venom powder VENZTM for making honey based products and developed the technology of mixing both liquid and dry honey with dry bee venom. The safe and beneficial health dosage of bee venom in the products was scientifically substantiated, as outlined below. This technology was recognized as innovative (NZ patent #333790). The main advantage of this technology is the possibility of standardization of bee venom dosage in a final product. Another advantage is preservation of biologically active components of honey and bee venom and their healing properties during a long period of time.

How does bee venom work?

Bee venom peptides have systemic action: anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-pyretic, stimulating vascular permeability.

There are different mechanisms of bee venom action in the body – indirectly through hormone system and directly on cardiovascular system.

1. Indirectly, through hormone system.

The healing effect of Bee venom is caused by its stimulating the function of adrenal gland indirectly through hypophysis. Due to this stimulation process more adrenal hormones such as cortisone and hydrocortisone are generated in blood. These hormones provide healing effect, increasing resistibility of the body against various unfavourable factors. But bee venom healing action not only connected with stimulation of adrenal gland.

2. Bee venom effects cardiovascular system directly.

  • it widens blood vessels and decreases blood pressure.
  • bee venom is very effective against hypertension.
  • reduces blood coagulability and increases hemoglobin level.

Russian scientists have discovered that bee venom contributes to capillary vessels and small artery distention, increasing the blood surge to the organs and promoting metabolism improvement. Since bee venom increases the content of haemoglobin and leukocytes in blood and decreases blood thickness and coagulability, it can be very helpful for people having susceptibility to trombophlebitis. Bee venom promotes decrease of cholesterol content in blood, provides tonic effect for a heart muscle, and decreases blood pressure.

It improves patients overall state of health, appetite and sleep, increases vitality. It is good for body strengthening and pain relief.( Krylov,1995 )

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PROPOLIS EXTRACT

This sticky, brown resinous substance is collected by honeybees from various plants and mixed with wax. Used to sterilize their home against infection, bees also use propolis as a multy-purpose cement and varnish.

As is the honey product Propolis is as a powerful, all natural anti-biotic.

Propolis is the only food on earth containing all 22 nutrients needed by the body for complete and perfect health. It contains over 16 different vitamins, rich in amino acids and trace elements; it also has a high vitamin content, including the valuable bioflavanoids and all in complete and natural balance.

The bioflafanoids in Propolis make it a superb anti-inflammatory. Flavanoids are a class of natural products of high pharmacological potency. The high content of flavanoids in propolis is attributed to its success as a product itself. For centuries, physicians have used preparations, which contain flavanoids as the principal physiologically active constituents, in attempts to treat human disease. There are nine flavanoids in New Zealand propolis, these are unique from the mix of flavanoids in propolis of other origins.

It is also enables it to be highly effective in boosting the whole body. It is believed that Hippocrates, the father of medicine, prescribed the use of propolis to help heal sores and ulcers,

internally and externally . Unlike penicillin or other drugs, propolis it always effective, because bacteria and viruses cannot be build tolerances against it.

Propolis actually stimulates strengthens and rejuvenates the immune system, which is the body’s defense system against disease, cellular destruction and aging.


Danish scientist, Dr. K. Lund Aagaard, considered an expert on propolis states, " The whole research program had a single purpose, namely, to obtain a substance with the greatest efficiency against the greatest number of disease. The numerous healings are relevant by themselves and the number of people who use propolis is ever increasing".

Some of the health problems people reports as responding to Propolis are:

  • Anti-bacterial effect. Because of its strong antimicrobial activity, propolis is often known as a "natural antibiotic". A large number of studies have shown an inhibitory effect on a variety of microorganisms.
  • Effects on Immune System. Propolis has been shown to stimulate an immune response. Perhaps the most broadly investigated and widely accepted attribute of bee propolis is its immune-boosting activity. It is a natural, broad-spectrum antibiotic that activates the thymus gland. Bee propolis not only prevents infectious diseases, but clears them from the system, as well.
  • Gastro-Intestinal Effects. In Romania, Drs. A. Vasilca and Eugenia Milcu conducted a study on the therapeutic properties of propolis on ulcers. Thirty-four patients with chronic ulcers were given extracts of propolis daily for two weeks. The results were impressive, with 28 patients completely recovering and six cases dramatically improving. Tissue biopsies were conducted on some of the patients, which confirmed the regenerative effects of bee propolis.
  • Skin Infection Effects.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Effects.
  • Pain Relief Effects. Propolis and some of its components produce pain relief effect, which in some studies has been shown to be 3 times as powerful as cocaine and 52 times that of procaine, when tested in rabbit cornea (Ghisalberti, 1979).
  • Cardiovascular Effects
  • Viral Infections
  • Respiratory Infections
  • Skin Infections
  • Dental Treatment
  • Wound Healing and Tissue Repair
  • Ear Infections. Patients (126) suffering external otitis, chronic mesotypanic otitis and tympan perforation were treated with propolis solutions (5-10%).
  • Elevated blood fat levels
  • Broken bones
  • Improper healing

The value of propolis as a perfect food as well as its medicinal and restorative properties have been hailed by scientists, researchers, and health & nutrition practitioners all around the world.

Propolis is a safe diet supplement, producing no negative side effects, and taken regularly can actually create a positive reaction to almost any disease. In today's world where antibiotics are routinely over-prescribed, this bee product can be your very best first line of defense against illness and chronic disease. 

MANUKA HONEY

Manuka honey is a superior treatment for wounds and infections. Manuka honey is gathered in New Zealand from Manuka bush, Leptospermum scoparium, which grows uncultivated throughout the country. Research by Dr. Peter Molan MBE of Waikato University has shown that Manuka honey has very potent anti-bacterial activity and very effective in destroying many stains of bacteria.

HOW TO TAKE Manuka VENZTM Propolis

The Bee Venom concentration in one jar of the honey is 25 ppm, which equals to half a bee sting in each teaspoon of honey. These doses are comfortable and safe, compared to traditional bee sting therapy. The dosage may vary, depending on the patient’s health condition/fitness level.

We would recommend the first intake should be half teaspoon of honey with venom (0.25 sting) taken without any food or drink. This initial dose is 4 times lower than one sting, and is specifically designated in accordance with BV Therapy requirements. The dose is much more comfortable and safe when compared to a physical and painful Bee sting Therapy plan.

If no allergic reaction occurs, increase the dosage gradually up to 2-3 teaspoons daily depending on your condition. Please, don't take any food or drink together with the honey, as long as stomach enzymes will destroy all bee venom components. Keep honey in mouth until it will be completely dissolved. The major advantage of creamed honey as a carrier is that its consistency helps to increase the absorption in the mouth, and, therefore, the healing effect of the bee venom product is much higher.

PRECAUTION:

People who have allergic reactions to bee sting or propolis should seek medical advice before using Manuka VENZTM Propolis.
