Functions

  • Antimicrobial Properties: Bee Propolis Extract contains a variety of antimicrobial compounds that can inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, making it a valuable natural alternative for combating infections. It has been shown to be particularly effective against pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and the herpes simplex virus.
  • Anti-inflammatory Effects: The flavonoids and phenolic compounds in propolis have strong anti-inflammatory properties. They can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduce inflammation in the body. This makes propolis useful for managing conditions such as arthritis, wounds, and other inflammatory disorders.
  • Antioxidant Activity: Propolis is rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids like quercetin and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE). These antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and protect cells from damage. Antioxidants in propolis also support overall immune function and general health.
  • Immune System Support: Bee Propolis Extract can enhance the body’s immune response by stimulating the activity of immune cells and promoting the production of antibodies. It helps strengthen the immune system, making the body more resilient to infections and diseases.
  • Wound Healing: Propolis has been used historically for its wound-healing properties. Its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects help prevent infection and reduce inflammation, while its bioactive compounds promote tissue repair and regeneration. It can accelerate the healing process of cuts, burns, and other skin injuries.
  • Oral Health: Due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, propolis can help maintain oral health. It can reduce plaque formation, prevent gum disease, and alleviate symptoms of oral infections such as gingivitis and mouth ulcers.
