-Another bee product is the royal jelly that has antioxidant, immunomodulatory, anti-diabetic and hypocholesterolemic effects.
-Colostrum is the first milk that is produced after mammals’ parturition. It contains a range of antimicrobial peptides and proteins with intense anti-bacterial action, immune-regulatory factors and bioactive oligosaccharides.
-Colostrum has the ability to maintain or improve the immune system’s defense, but also to maintain the integrity of gastrointestinal mucosa, giving protection against detrimental conditions like inflammation.
-Αndrographis paniculata extract with anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial action stimulates the immune system, preventing respiratory tract infection.
