Bee Venom an Ingredient to Be Added to Honey to Feel Energetic

The effect of honey fortified with bee venom was assessed on patients complaining of fatigue and exhaustion. 123 women aged 32- 35 years participated as volunteers in the study, Sixty-two subjects participated in group (A), they consumed 30 ml clover honey fortified with bee venom with a mean age of 32.86 +/- 12.07 years while sixty-one volunteers enrolled in group (B) as a control group, they consumed 30 ml clover honey with a mean age of 34.75 +/- 12.26years. After two months of dietary supplements consumption, subjects in group (A) showed a statistically significant improvement in the calculated fatigue scores, the anti-inflammatory marker (IL-10), catalase enzyme, MDA and SOD (p < 0.05). While participants in group (B) consuming clover honey unfortified showed an improvement in the MDA serum level and FSS fatigue score (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the haemoglobin level increased numerically in both group but without statistical significance difference (p > 0.05), moreover, there was no effect on fasting blood sugar level in both groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: clover honey fortified with bee venom can alleviate fatigue and exhaustion.
