Product Information

One of the most-studied effects of propolis is its antimicrobial activity. As a result, propolis is often sold as a topical solution to help keep wounds clean. However, it can also help solve internal problems as a supplement. Khalil, M. L. Biological activity of bee propolis in health and disease. Asian Pac.J Cancer Prev. 2006;7(1):22-31. View abstract.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report published on the antioxidant activity of Indian propolis extract and its chemical constituent's pinocembrin and galangin. In all the antioxidant assay systems, aqueous extract of propolis (AEP) showed higher activity compared to the ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP). This may be due to its higher polyphenols content. So, AEP can be a good substitute of ethanol extract. Moreover, it can be used in prevention of various free radical related diseases. Galangin also showed comparable activity with that of AEP and EEP and highest activity than pinocembrin. This is due to structural differences between these two compounds. Further research is underway to analyze the constituents of AEP and their antioxidant activity [ 18]. Zedan H, Hofny ER, Ismail SA. Propolis as an alternative treatment for cutaneous warts.

Benzyl caffeate, geranyl caffeate, benzyl salicylate, benzyl cinnamate, methyl cinnamate, ferulic acid and tectochrysin are also sensitisers present in propolis. Propolis is a complex mixture made by bee-released and plant-derived compounds. In general, raw propolis is composed of around 50% resins, 30% waxes, 10% essential oils, 5% pollen, and 5% of various organic compounds [ 1, 8, 9]. More than 300 constituents were identified in different samples [ 7– 10] and new ones are still being recognized during chemical characterization of new types of propolis [ 2, 11, 12]. The proportions of the various substances present in the propolis depend upon its place and time of collection. Jalali M, Ranjbar T, Mosallanezhad Z, et al.
