Nature has numerous valuable vital substances in store for people. So does the bee product propolis. This dietary supplement provides you with a particularly high dose of propolis: 1000 mg of propolis are contained per tablet and daily dose. The extract has been standardized to 3% galangin, a special flavonoid, which equates to 30mg of galangin per tablet.

Since we attach great importance to avoiding unnecessary additives, the propolis tablets only contain the filler microcrystalline cellulose, which is required for pressing the tablets.

What is propolis?

Propolis is also known under the names putty resin, bee resin or bee putty resin. As the name suggests, it is a resinous substance made by bees. The composition can be very different and essentially depends on the collecting area, the tree population and the season.

The bees primarily collect the resin from trees, with preference given to poplar, birch, alder and chestnut trees. In order to make the resin more supple so that it can be transported and processed better, the bees mix the resin with their own body secretions. In the beehive it is mixed with beeswax and used for sealing, stabilizing and disinfecting. Depending on the use, the proportion of wax in the propolis can vary.

The name "Propolis" is derived from the Greek word’s "pro" (German: before) and "pólis" (German: city). The name refers to the fact that propolis is most commonly found at the entrance to beehives.

Valuable ingredients of propolis

Unprocessed raw propolis contains about 40-60% putty resin, 20-30% wax and 1-8% water. In addition, there are other vital substances such as fatty acids, polyphenols (including galangin), aromatic acids, amino acids, sugar, vitamins, minerals , trace elements and flavorings.

There can also be fluctuations in the composition of the vital substances. It depends on the season, type of plant, collecting region and the wax added.

Although propolis is generally very well tolerated, people who are allergic to bee or wasp stings should avoid taking it. Propolis is also not suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
