What the propolis extract brings you

Propolis is a complex substance produced by bees from plant resins. Its composition includes phenolic acids, flavonoids, and aromatic compounds derived from plants. The standardization to 7% flavonoids of our raw material guarantees assured quality, a key aspect in extracts.

The story of propolis: an ingredient with tradition

Propolis has been used since ancient times in many cultures. Mediterranean, Egyptian, and Near Eastern civilizations already valued this resin for its unique composition and its close relationship with beekeeping.

Over time, propolis became a common element inside the hive, where bees produce it to seal, protect, and maintain their environment. Its complex mix of plant resins, waxes, and aromatic compounds has historically made it a particularly valuable ingredient.
