What Are the Medical Uses of Propolis?
Propolis is a resin collected by bees from the buds, barks, or trunks of plants, and mixed with its frontal gland secretions, beeswax, and a small amount of pollen to produce a gelatinous mixture with an aromatic odor. Propolis contains a variety of chemical components, mainly flavonoids, acid compounds, alcohol compounds, phenols, ketones, ether compounds, alkenes, hydrocarbons, terpenes, and fatty acids, steroids, various amino acids, enzymes, polysaccharides And vitamins. In addition, it also contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, chlorine, sodium, magnesium, sulphur silicon, iron, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, fluorine, tin, arsenic, selenium, milling, chromium, nickel , Barium, zirconium, antimony, copper, silver, lead and other elements.
Propolis capsules
- Propolis is
- Introduction
- Propolis integrates animal and plant secretions in one, has a complex and wonderful chemical composition structure, it contains more than 30 essential trace elements of the human body. More than 20 kinds of amino acids, more than 30 kinds of natural ingredients such as flavonoids, terpenes, vitamins, esters, etc. have the functions of lowering blood sugar, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, enhancing cell function and vitality, strengthening the human immune system. It also has a strong antioxidant effect.
- Effect:
- 1. Enhance immunity, remove free radicals, resist radiation, and delay aging.
- 2. Strong anti-pathogenic microorganism and liver protection.
- 3. It has killing and inhibiting effect on cancer cells.
- 4. Protect the gastric mucosa. Taking propolis soft capsules for a long time can help the recovery of chronic gastritis and ulcers.
- 5, to enhance the contractility of the heart and liver, adjust blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar can also purify the blood.
- 6. Reduce menopause symptoms of menopausal women. ?
- 7, make the skin appear natural beauty, make delicate smooth, full of elasticity.
- 8, anti-fatigue, anti-oxidation, anti-tumor, lowering blood sugar, lowering cholesterol,
- For people:
- 1. People with low immunity, weak constitution, and easy to catch cold.
- 2. People with more endocrine disorders, pigmentation, wrinkles, and acne
- 3. People who are prone to fatigue.
- 4. Patients with gastrointestinal diseases and diabetes.
- 5. People with insufficient flavonoids.
- 6. Cancer patients.
- 7. Need to improve allergic constitution, nourish skin and delay aging.
- Precautions:
- 1. This product is not a substitute for drugs.
- 2. Children and children are disabled. Use with caution in pregnant women.
- How to take:
- Take 2 capsules twice daily with warm water.
- The capsule shell should be moderately soft and hard. If the capsule shell is too hard or too soft, one may be that the capsule shell is not dried properly; the other may be that the content formula is not reasonable, and the capsule shell is too hard because the content absorbs the moisture of the capsule shell, or the contents and the capsule The shell gelatin reaction caused the capsule shell to be too soft.
- Secondly, cut the propolis soft capsule with scissors, and sniff its contents for the unique aroma of propolis. If there is no aroma unique to propolis, it is a knockout product; if there is aroma unique to propolis, the experiment of (2) is performed.
- Take a clean sheet of white paper, spread it on the test table, randomly select one soft propolis capsule, cut the capsule, squeeze out the contents, and drip on the white paper. If the contents are not uniformly dissolved (suspended), or the solute and the solvent are separated, and the hands are rough, it is a rejection product; if the contents are evenly distributed, the test of (3) may be performed.
- Take a clean test tube, fill it with a certain amount of water, squeeze the contents of the water-soluble propolis soft capsule into the test tube containing water, stir well with glass camphor, and let it stand for a while. If the solution is layered, hang it. , Indicating that the content preparation technology is not enough; if the solution is uniform milky white or light milky yellow, you can carry out the identification of (4).
- Propolis soft capsules whose contents are suspensions should be tested for sedimentation ratio. Put the contents of the soft capsule in a graduated cylinder with the same diameter and stir well. Measure the original height of the dispersed phase (Ho) and the height of the sedimentation after standing (Hu). Calculate the sedimentation ratio (F). The larger the F value, the content The more stable the suspension system is. Due to the long natural sedimentation time, the centrifugal acceleration method can be used, but it should be noted that the centrifugation speed is not easy to be too high to avoid discrepancy with the actual situation. Generally, low speed centrifugation with 4 times gravity and centrifugation speed of several hundred revolutions can be used Those who are stable for hours can be left for at least half a year, and the nature is still stable. If the solid-liquid separation is high, it means that the suspension technology is not enough. If the suspension is good, then (4) can be identified.
- Take a part of the solution of (3) in another test tube and add 1-2 drops of 3% ferric chloride ethanol solution. If it is not brown, it means that it does not contain flavonoids and should be eliminated; Or dark brown, indicating that flavonoids and phenolic compounds are contained, then (5) can be identified.
- If comparing the propolis content of the same kind of soft propolis in different manufacturers, take one soft propolis capsule of the same specification, squeeze the contents into a graduated test tube containing the same amount of water, and stir with glass camphor. Dilute to the same volume respectively, and then drop in an equal amount of 3% ferric chloride ethanol solution for color comparison. The darker dissolution color indicates that the propolis content is high.
- Suggested crowd :
- People who want to enhance immunity, strengthen their physique and improve their quality of life;
- People who want to prevent atherosclerosis and regulate blood sugar;
- People who are aware of the harmfulness of antibiotic abuse and want antibacterial and anti-inflammatory; people with diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and chronic gastritis are more valuable to take this product.
- Quality characteristics :
- Concentrated capsule packaging, 1000 mg high dose each time, convenient and economical
- Propolis concentrate, alcohol-free
- Edible standard
- The method of eating propolis is not as simple as taking other bee products. It must be extracted after removing harmful substances before use. Never use original propolis. Taking raw propolis directly or soaking it with white wine by yourself, although it has a certain degree of effect, there are potential negative effects, which is very dangerous. At present, although the technology of extracting propolis and removing lead has passed, there are not many units and individuals who can accurately grasp this technology. Some hearsay is simple and easy to use, and it can even be taken after soaking in white wine, which is unscientific. Be sure to consume products produced by manufacturers, such as propolis capsules and propolis liquid. How to identify propolis products and manufacturers in the propolis market?
- 1. Regarding the legality of propolis products Propolis is not included in the list of foods and medicines issued by the Ministry of Health in 2002 (Wei Fa Jian No. 2002.51), that is, propolis products cannot be produced and sold under the name of food.
- In the same document, the Ministry of Health listed propolis in the list of raw materials for health foods, that is to say, propolis products must be declared and obtain legal food production and sales qualifications after obtaining a health food approval certificate. There are still quite a few propolis products, using common

- 6. Cancer patients.
- 7. Patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
- 1. Antibacterial effect Propolis contains a large number of flavonoids, aromatic acids and terpenes, which has a broad spectrum of antibacterial effects. It is mainly caused by activating macrophages in the body to enhance non-specific immune functions.
