Bee power: could royal jelly and propolis soothe heart inflammation?
NCT ID NCT07596992
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether taking royal jelly and propolis (natural bee products) for two months can lower inflammation and improve heart health in 50 adults with coronary artery disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the supplements or a placebo, and researchers will measure changes in blood markers of inflammation. The goal is to see if these natural compounds can help manage heart disease risk.
