The known benefits of human use of bee propolis dates back to ancient times. The power of bee propolis was used to treat abscesses, heal wounds, shrink tumors, and even embalm mummies!1 Even ancient cultures realized the benefits of bee propolis long before modern science attempted to prove them.
Though the exact compilation of properties varies by region, bee propolis contains powerful bioflavonoid antioxidants, abundant amino acids, B-complex, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta-carotene, antimicrobial and antifungal properties. This combination of highly beneficial factors has shown to enhance immunity, treat various skin conditions, inhibit viral infections, and even stops the growth of compromised prostate cells in one study*.
There are three known varieties of bee propolis found in the world. The most common is the brown propolis, found in the United States and other mild regions. Varieties of green and red propolis are found in isolated regions of Brazil and nowhere else. Red propolis, the rarest, is the only variety with the antioxidant isoflavones. Consuming foods or supplements that contain isoflavones can provide a variety of health benefits that include antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant action and, relief of the symptoms of menopause*.
As an ANTIOXIDANT, bee propolis neutralizes free radicals that would otherwise damage molecules and lead to cell damage known to cause degenerative conditions*.
As an ANTIMICROBIAL agent, bee propolis was shown in a test for anti-microbial action to diminish the growth of various bacteria, yeast, and fungus responsible for common ailments such as dental caries, vaginal yeast infections, salmonella, and stomach ulcers.
In addition, scientific trials and studies also suggest bee propolis can accelerate wound healing in diabetes, promote healthy cells, reduce outbreaks from mouth ulcers (RAC), and reduce inflammation associated with various conditions.
