Environmental products are being explored for their potential in treating neurotoxicity. One of these products is bee pollen. A group of researchers from King Saud University was able to prove that bee pollen could ameliorate neurotoxicity-related causes of autism. Their study, which was published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, made use of in vivo experiments to determine this effect.
The results of the study showed that bee pollen has potential in ameliorating etiological factors of autism, including oxidative stress — neuroinflammation, and poor detoxification — since it had anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic effects.
