WHAT IS BEE PROPOLIS? Propolis is a substance made by the honeybee. Propolis is plant resin collected by bees for use in and around the hive. Propolis collecting bees will use resins from a large variety of tree and other plant species, and these naturally will differ in their qualitative and quantitative chemical composition. Nevertheless, different bee propolis extract samples do share considerable similarity in their physical and overall general chemical nature. Hundreds of chemical compounds have been identified from bee propolis extract. The main chemical classes present in propolis are flavonoids, phenolics, and various aromatic compounds. Bee propolis extract also contains some volatile oils, terpenes, and beeswax, but these compounds are not believed to contribute as significantly to the chemical properties and effects of propolis. HOW MUCH PROPOLIS DO I TAKE? The FDA has not determined any guidelines for taking bee propolis products. It is generally recommended that you take from 1 to 3 (250mg) capsules daily as a dietary supplement.
