Propolis and Fertility

According to a research by Dr. Ali F. M. from the Ain Shams University in Egypt, propolis appears to be effective in treating infertility associated with mild endometriosis.

In a small randomized trial, the scientist found that bee propolis is an effective line of treatment for infertility with no reported side effect.

The Study

Presented at the 59th annual meeting of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine in San Antonio, Texas (Oct 13 2003), the researcher studied 40 female patients for more than 2 years.

These patients were to receive 500 mg of propolis twice daily or a placebo and this regime is continued for more than half a year.

The study showed that among those who took propolis, 60 % became pregnant compared to 20% in those taking the placebos.

This research is still considered small trial but is a promising start for the medical community to do more research on the ability of propolis in treating infertility.
