Propolis Capsules

A Natural Food Supplement

Propolis capsules taken as a food supplement offers a natural solution which may help maintain a healthy immune system and also bring other benefits to make a healthier lifestyle possible. Propolis has been identified as an antioxidant and as such may be useful for fighting free radicals within the body and the optimal intake of antioxidants may help provide a preventative measure against potential disease development. Other important constituents of propolis are flavonoids and ethanols which have been shown to function in a similar way to Vitamin E which is believed to keep free radicals from causing damage to the cellular organs that deal with the transformation of fats into energy.

Whilst in the early stages of research, the caffeic acids in propolis are believed to be capable of preventing precancerous tissue from forming in the colon. More research is required to prove this conclusively but this may be yet another example of the wide ranging health benefits available from using propolis.

Propolis was probably the first antibiotic ever discovered. It has been used for over two thousand years by civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans to keep wounds, lesions and burns from getting infected. All over Europe people have used propolis to treat a number of conditions, including acne, arthritis, eczema, psoriasis and other skin problems.

medical journal reports have shown that propolis has significant antiviral capabilities as well, making it effective in helping to treat upper respiratory infections such as influenza and the common cold.

Whilst there is a lot of interesting and positive research already done and ongoing into the benefits of Propolis it is important to stress that it is a natural remedy and as such we are unable to make specific medical claims in relation to its properties and uses. Natural remedies do not help everyone and we would always recommend discussing any treatments with a qualified medical practitioner if you have any queries or doubts about the suitability of natural remedies for your condition.

Propolis is also not suitable for people with allergies to tree resin or bee products. We would always recommend applying Propolis cream to a small area such as wrist or inside of elbow for 24 hours to test for allergic reactions before applying more generally to other affected areas. Propolis is a natural and gentle substance with usually no side effects but testing for allergic reactions is a simple easy way of ensuring you get the best out of this wonderful product.

Propolis is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women because there is not enough information in this area relating to the use of propolis during these conditions
