@Mauritio had potential but we cant digest the wax / comb so wouldnt go into system, high in sugarcane wax too , i looked it up if you could extract it by melting the beeswax in hot water. but policosanol form in beeswax is an ester not bioavailable for us until processed / hydrolysed
as a supplement its a good effect on helping lower atherosclerosis without the extra fuckery statins give (and actually shows regression combined with low fat diet) 10mg - 40mg is about the same effect for that (the content of the policosanol matters needs enough octacosanol, and if its ester form probably not absorbed much) (octacosanol is most active part, #3 in https://cs3001.substack.com/p/some-health-finds-3)"world," as a source of new perceptions

@cs3000 Oh damn so close and yet so far
Do you have a source for it beeing indigestible for us ?Dare to think.

Do you have a source for it beeing indigestible for us ?@Mauritio @cs3000 i have eaten honey comb multiples Times, a good part of the wax do not melt in the mouth even if you chew it very long, and the part that you swallow often end up as solid flakes in your intestins that cause intestinal irritations and nightmare if you swallow alot. Comb from more recent hives and recently harvested Can be much softer. If you look at hunters gatherers eating honey comb in documentary they spit back the comb. part of beekeepers use plastic/synthetic materials as a base for bees to build the hive on, therefore some honey comb contain a sheet of plastic/synthetic materials in the middle. It is possible you absorb part of what is in the wax, as wax that is colored like orange will end up white/yellowish if you chew it alot even if you dont swallow it

@Mauritio
one in dogs vs birds (fig 2 , its not policosanol tho general
fatty acid esters absorbed a little but the fatty alcohol ester didnt https://www.researchgate.net/publication/21739344_Comparative_aspects_of_lipid_digestion_and_absorption_Physiological_correlates_of_wax_ester_digestionbut looked a bit further for specific, rats can digest even more of it if its esterified specific to oleic acid
but thats synthetic esterification not bound with oleic acid normally https://grasasyaceites.revistas.csic.es/index.php/grasasyaceites/article/view/1388 , couldnt find if humans could absorb some but theres a case of a women with gastric blockage who ate a lot of honeycomb so at least a lot goes undigested

@cs3000 if its extracted from sugarcane wax its mostly the free form policosanol with high % octacosanol and more digestible https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12423895/ maybe 7% as esters in the wax. has b-sitosterol which is anti androgen but <1% of the wax

Anybody tried bees bread ?
In this study it did wonders for steroid health.
They gave mice on a HFD about 5-7g(HED) of bees bread and it completely rescued the levels of their steroidogenic enzymes.
Not only that, in many cases, giving them bees bread, increased the values above the normal control group.Testosterone was increased by about 60% above control levels.
StaR mRNA levels doubled !
Unfortunately estrogen was increased as well, but only to the level of the control group not above that.

I did, it Can taste much better than basic honey comb that has only wax and honey, basic honey comb is often to acidic and taste aint the best in most case compare to some honey in jar and some beesbread

@Mauritio honey /most bee products /chyrsin rich foods generally increase testosterone.

apparently too slow by itself so they do extra processing

In this study it did wonders for steroid health.nice , & a potent effect really fast in a diabetes model. normalised by 3 days. fastest effect ive seen
STZ model = destruction of pancreas cells so i guess its most relevant to type 1 , or if someone with type 2 has lacking pancreatic islet cells too as part of their problem. full damage was done initially so shows good effect
they used an extract ~30mg polyphenols 5mg flavanols per gram so maybe ~ 5g bee bread for 1g of extract
composition varies a lot by location if it was the polyphenols giving most of the effect even in same country by region,
theirs was high inkaempferol-3-O-di-rhamnosideIsorhamnetin-O-hexosyl-O-rutinosidehttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8264221/#sec7
and if you believe the results,
they showed its acute effect (didnt lower blood sugar when not elevated)
Which is odd. because its not lowering glucose in non diabetic rats so its not acting like insulin right? unless things are effectively counteracting it in the normal group because it would be crashing otherwise from insulin secretion. (at 3hrs in the DW group they had lower blood sugar though 84 vs 92)
unlikely enough islet cells left from the damage to stimulate insulin secretion for such a drastic change in both of the groups, which is what GLB doe? idk maybe there is but they're clearly wrecked from such high glucose at 0hr. 3 hours isnt enough time to regenerate the islet cell damage"world," as a source of new perceptions

Could I finely dice it up and put it in a pot of boiling water for 15 minutes, whilst it remains boiling for the entire 15 minutes? would that be effective?
