Bee pollen, which is fermented by bees, has attracted scientific interest for its potential health benefits. Here is a compilation of English-language studies on the benefits of bee pollen:
✅ Nutritional content and antioxidant effects
Perga is rich in phenolic compounds, such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, which are known for their antioxidant properties. Studies have shown that perga has significant antioxidant effects, which may help protect cells from oxidative stress.
✅ Antimicrobial properties
Perga has shown antimicrobial activity against several bacterial strains, suggesting that perga may have potential as a natural antimicrobial agent.
✅ Effects on athletes
One study found that supplementing with perga improved the performance of endurance runners and increased their total antioxidant levels, suggesting that perga may be a useful addition to athletes’ diets.
✅ Possible hypolipidemic effects
Some studies have found that perga may help lower blood cholesterol levels, which promotes heart health, making perga an interesting potential addition to diets aimed at controlling cholesterol.
✅ Blood sugar balancing and obesity prevention effects
Perga may improve insulin sensitivity, reduce oxidative stress, and regulate appetite, suggesting that it could play a role in managing diabetes and obesity.
