Gwyneth Paltrow is another celebrity to add to the growing list of bee venom lovers.
The benefits of bee venom are continuing to be recognised nationwide with Kate Middleton and Victoria Beckham using the wonder ingredient for it's anti-ageing benefits. Millie Mackintosh, from Made in Chelsea, has also revealed that she uses it for clearing up troubled skin and now Gwyneth Paltrow is using it to cure joint pain.
She stated on her lifestyle blog, Goop.com: "I was recently given been venom therapy for an old injury and it disappeared. I was recommended bee pollen, raw honey and propolis for various purporses."
Mauka Doctor ApiRevive Rub Ease Balm harnesses the power of Purified Bee Venom and Glucosamine in a thick massaging balm, to provide a warming sensation, with a mild peppermint aroma for streesed muscles, joints and aches.
A recent trial by Dr SangMu Han and published in the Journal of Medicinal Plant Research, found Bee Venom to have great anti-inflammatory benefits making it the perfect partner to glucosamine for healing those aches and pains.
Glucosamine has been clincally used in Europe since the 1960s and gained popularity in the mid-1990s as a treatment for joint and arthritis pain. It is a fundamental building block for important biopolymers such as hyloronic acid and provides cushioning between bones and elasticity for joints.
Again, Manuka Doctor has designed a high-performance, natural product that won't break the bank like the many Bee Venom one-off treatments.
Manuka Doctor ApiRevive Rub Ease Balm is available exclusively from Holland & Barrett, £19.99.
