Bee Propolis Benefits

The scientific studies are limited but researchers have identified over 300 compounds within bee propolis, which are mainly polyphenols. Flavonoids are polyphenols which have strong antioxidant properties. These antioxidant properties help combat disease and damage in the body. Flavonoids are also present in many fruits, vegetables and also green tea.

There is some evidence that says propolis can provide antibacteria, antiviral, antifungal and wound healing properties. Due to its antioxidant properties, propolis has also been incorporated into many skincare products for skin benefits.

Bee Propolis Reviews

Nancy
5/5

I have been taking this for over 14 years. As soon as if feel the slightest tingle of being sick i start taking and it gets me through every time. I also give to my son who has sinus infections and this helps heal faster by cutting infection down to days instead of weeks. I use with bee pollen and royal jelly.
