Exploring the modification of constant action of natural radiation combined with technogenic. Study of the influence of bee bread

Abstract

Abstract: This study aimed to address immune system abnormalities in a population residing in an area characterized by continuous low-intensity natural radiation combined with anthropogenic radiation exposure. A group of volunteers, representative of the conditionally healthy population, received a dietary intervention supplemented with bee bread. The investigation focused on modulating the cellular component of non-specific resistance and immune system functionality. Following the course of bee pollen supplementation, the main study group exhibited significant improvements, including the restoration of neutrophil levels responsible for phagocytosis and inflammatory response. Additionally, there was a notable reduction in the frequency and severity of overt and covert immune deficiencies. These findings highlight the potential of bee bread (BB) as an adjunct therapeutic intervention for enhancing the immune system in populations exposed to radiation-related challenges. The study contributes to our understanding of strategies for mitigating immune system impairments in radiation-exposed individuals.
