Propolis Extract

<p>This alcohol-free tincture is made from propolis, an important bee product. The use of propolis dates back thousands of years to the time of Aristotle.</p> <p><a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://morgenisnu.nl/en/merk/natures-answer/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Nature's Answer</span></a> Propolis Extract contains an extract of a bee product called propolis. This is a natural substance that honeybees make from tree and shrub resins, their own enzymes from glands in their heads, and beeswax. It plays a very important role in the hive. Scientists believe that bees use this resin-rich substance to protect the colony and keep it healthy. We humans can also use this substance, but its constituents first need to be released from the bee product for efficient absorption. Nature's Answer therefore processes this natural product into an extract. This Propolis Extract contains the active compounds from this important bee product in an easy-to-take, alcohol-free formula.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;"><strong>Propolis as an active ingredient</strong></span></h4> <p>Honeybees make propolis from several different substances. The main ingredient consists of resins from trees and plants. Bees collect these resins throughout the foraging season. In the hive, they mix the resins with their own enzymes and beeswax. This creates a pliable substance that bees use to seal every crack and gap in the hive, protecting themselves from outside influences such as draughts, moisture and cold. Bees also apply the substance around the hive entrance and in the brood cells to disinfect them. Propolis acts as the hive's protector, so it is no coincidence that its name translates from Ancient Greek as before the city.</p> <p>The use of propolis dates back thousands of years. All the classical physicians, including Aristotle, Hippocrates and Pliny the Elder, used bee products. This is also reflected in Pliny the Elder's well-known saying: "Ubi apis ibi salus", meaning where there are bees, there is health. Today, we are rediscovering the power of bee products. They have also attracted scientific interest. Several <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a style="color:#78509a;text-decoration:underline;" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=propolis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">scientific articles on propolis</a></span> are published every day.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;"><strong>Propylene glycol as a solvent</strong></span></h4> <p>Alongside propolis, this extract contains plant-derived propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is used as a solvent to dissolve the active constituents of this resin-rich natural product in the extract. It is an organic compound belonging to the alcohol group. Unlike ethanol (drinking alcohol), however, it has no adverse effect on human health.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;"><strong>Propolis Extract from Nature's Answer</strong></span></h4> <p>Nature's Answer Propolis Extract contains nothing other than propolis and propylene glycol.
