Propolis, a natural substance produced by bees, is shown to have powerful antimicrobial properties, making it effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Research indicates that propolis can be up to 100 times more effective than common antibiotics in fighting certain infections without the side effects associated with pharmaceuticals.

Propolis contains over 300 bioactive compounds, including flavonoids and phenolic acids, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.

Historical usage of propolis includes its application by Russian field medics during World War II to treat wounds when medical supplies were scarce.

Eight key health benefits of propolis have been identified, including immune system support, wound healing, oral health improvement, and potential cancer prevention.

Different types of propolis, such as green, red, and brown, offer varying health benefits, with green and brown being recommended for immune support and red for heart health.

Proper usage of propolis is crucial; recommended dosages range from half to one drop per kilogram of body weight, and it should be taken on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.
