N-Chromosome Royal Jelly, Propolis and Bee Pollen Supplementation Improve the Clinical Conditions of COVID-19 Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
2022 Jan 08 Traditional and Integrative Medicine Abedini A, Shafaghi S, Ameri Ahmad Z, Javanmardi E, Ghorbani F, Sharif-Kashani B, et al.
In a randomized, open-label, controlled trial involving 50 cases of COVID-19, the intervention group receiving royal jelly, propolis, and bee pollen in addition to conventional treatment showed a more pronounced improvement in functional class compared to the control group. Additionally, the intervention group experienced significantly reduced total symptoms duration and time to return to work. Although these natural supplements are not definitive treatments for COVID-19, they can be considered as adjuvant treatments to limit disease symptoms and virus propagation.

2019 Aug 21 Molecules Münstedt K, Männle H
Honey, propolis, and royal jelly show evidence for their effectiveness in preventing and treating oral mucositis resulting from chemotherapy or radiotherapy, with potential integration into a comprehensive approach alongside established concepts like oral care, oral cryotherapy, topical vitamin E, and low-level-laser therapy. However, the quality of existing meta-analyses is generally low, and further studies, especially on combinations of various strategies, are needed.

2017 Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity Honey, Propolis, and Royal Jelly: A Comprehensive Review of Their Biological Actions and Health Benefits Pasupuleti VR, Sammugam L, Ramesh N, Gan SH
Review Article Cancer Honey Metabolic Syndrome
The research reviewed the effects and mechanisms of honey, propolis, and royal jelly on various health conditions. Their uses in correlation to metabolic diseases and different types of cancers were meticulously explored. Honey was examined for its microbial inhibiting and wound healing properties and its role in treating other diseases.
The study found that honey demonstrated potential benefits such as microbial inhibition, wound healing, and effects on other diseases. Propolis was reported to have various health benefits related to gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, and issues related to gynecology, oral health, and dermatology. Royal jelly displayed protective effects on reproductive health, neurodegenerative disorders, wound healing, and aging. While these were potential benefits and effects elucidated, the specific mechanisms of action remain undetermined.
