Description

[0001] EUPHORBIA - BEE PRODUCTS AND / OR MIXTURES CONTAINING THEM FOR PREVENTION AND / OR TREATMENT OF INFERTILITY

[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The invention relates to spurge (Euphorbia macroclada) honey, pollen, and propolis that can be used individually or in mixtures for preventing and / or treating infertility.

[0004] BACKGROUND

[0005] Infertility is a condition that disrupts the body's ability to perform reproductive functions, defined as the failure to achieve pregnancy within one year despite regular and unprotected intercourse for couples. However, if pregnancy does not occur despite regular and unprotected intercourse in women over 35 years of age, necessary investigations and treatments may begin earlier.

[0006] Infertility can affect 10 to 15 out of every 100 couples in the reproductive age range, with its frequency increasing as age advances. Infertility is a health issue related to the reproductive system and can result from a single cause or a combination of several factors.

[0007] There are many safe and effective treatment methods available to overcome infertility, which can increase the chances of couples having a baby. Although conceiving a child may seem like a simple and natural function, the process is quite complex. The following factors must be met for pregnancy to occur:

[0008] • Healthy egg production by the female

[0009] • Quality sperm production by the male

[0010] • Healthy fallopian tubes to allow sperm to reach the egg

[0011] • Fertilization of the egg by the sperm

[0012] • Successful implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus

[0013] • Sufficient embryo quality

[0014] The invention relates to spurge (Euphorbia) honey, pollen, and propolis, either separately or in combination, which contribute to the formation of the factors mentioned above. AIM OF THE INVENTION

[0015] The aim of the invention is the treatment and prevention of infertility using spurge (Euphorbia macroclada) honey, pollen, and propolis either individually or in combination, to maximize the body's intake of bioactive compounds present in them.

[0016] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] Various treatments and therapeutic drugs are used worldwide to combat infertility, alongside herbal solutions detailed below. Due to the high sugar content in honey, it is commonly used in such mixtures. However, spurge (Euphorbia macroclada) honey, being a very specific type, has a more effective structure due to its bioactive compounds. The spurge plant, blooming at the end of summer, differs from other flowers in its timing, making it one of the rare honeys produced without using other flowers. There is no data / publication / patent available in the literature regarding the use of this honey for infertility.

[0018] Honey is a natural substance produced by bees through a biochemical process in which they mix nectars from flowers and / or secretions with their own enzymes. It contains various plant pollens. Depending on the amount of the floral source from which it is produced, honey can be classified as monofloral or heterofloral. Monofloral honey is defined by its high concentration of pollen from the plant it is named after.

[0019] The use of monofloral spurge (Euphorbia macroclada) honey and pollen is the subject of the patent. The patent relates to the use of this honey and active ingredients derived from honey for the treatment of infertility. The patent covers products made by bees using nectar and pollen from the spurge (Euphorbia macroclada) plant, with a mixture containing at least 30% spurge (Euphorbia macroclada) honey, spurge (Euphorbia macroclada) pollen, and propolis intended for use alongside spurge (Euphorbia macroclada) honey for this purpose. This mixture may contain active components such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, organic acids, and volatile compounds, which are isolated in both polar and apolar phases. These components can be formulated for addition to foods and converted into forms and extracts for pharmaceutical applications.

[0020] In honey production, plants are not used. Bees enzymatically convert the nectar they collect from plants using their own secretions, transforming it into a new product. The resulting honey (product) contains both the bioactive components from the bee and those from the nectar. Unlike patents described in the literature, the plant itself is not used; rather, a product is obtained by using a mixture of honey and pollen obtained from plants, which has an effect on infertility treatment. In this context, the resulting product provides a significant effect in preventing both male and female infertility.

[0021] Spurge (Euphorbia macroclada) honey particularly improves various parameters such as sperm count, quality, and motility in men, while supporting egg quality and the ongoing pregnancy process in women.

[0022] The use of spurge (Euphorbia macroclada) honey in infertility treatment, combined with additives such as royal jelly, propolis, pollen, etc., creates a synergistic effect, enhancing its effectiveness. However, the main driver here is spurge (Euphorbia macroclada) honey.
