What the brand says

Propolis extract is a chemical that is processed by honeybees from the resin they collect from trees and plants. The bees use this plant extract to seal their hives and protect it from infection. Humans use it as a natural or homeopathic treatment for a variety of medical situations. New Zealand bee Propolis is rated to have some of the highest bioflavonoid levels found anywhere in the world. The word Propolis, which means "defender of the city” in Greek, may have been created by the philosopher Aristotle, who determined that the bees used it for protecting their hives. It is the use of Propolis that makes the beehive a very sterile environment. The chemical makeup of Propolis consists of proteins, amino acids. Vitamins, trace minerals and flavonoids, this makes Propolis extract a natural immune support and infection fighter. The trace minerals include zinc copper, iron and manganese. It is a rich source of bioflavonoids. These levels are obtained from the diverse unique flora and fauna only found in new Zealand. Sadly, many of the less expensive bee Propolis that are widely used have very low levels of the bioflavonoids are what make the Propolis active and effective, new Zealand bee Propolis from pacific resources is tested and certified for the bioflavonoid levels at 15 CPL to assure activity.
