Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bee products, such as royal jelly, bee pollen, propolis, and honey, have a long history of use in traditional and folk medicine for general vitality and stress. In the context of adrenal support, their use is primarily rooted in traditional and holistic health systems rather than robust scientific validation. Practitioners of naturopathy and traditional Chinese medicine sometimes recommend bee products for "adrenal fatigue" or to help the body adapt to stress, based on their nutrient content (e.g., B vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants). However, the term "adrenal fatigue" itself is not recognized in conventional medicine, and there are no clinical trials directly demonstrating that bee products support adrenal gland function in humans. Some in vitro and animal studies suggest that components of bee products may have anti-inflammatory, adaptogenic, or restorative effects, but these are not specific to the adrenal glands and do not translate directly to clinical efficacy for adrenal health. Overall, while bee products are valued for their nutritional density and general health-promoting properties in traditional use, scientific evidence supporting a direct benefit to the adrenal glands is lacking.
