Benefits of Propolis:

• Propolis is ideal for helping the body resist infections, alleviating colds & flu and supporting the upper respiratory tract.
• Propolis has hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, antihypertensive, hypoglycemic, and hypolipidemic activities. Propolis exerts this hepatoprotective effect through the inhibition of phase I enzymes and the induction of phase II enzymes
• Propolis-derived flavonoids exhibit powerful antioxidant activities and are capable of scavenging free radicals and thus protecting the cell membrane against lipid peroxidation.
• Propolis extract has the ability to modulate both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Propolis extracts also suppressed the production of TNF-α and IL-6 cytokines, while increasing the production of the anti-inflammatory IL-10 cytokine.
• The anticancer effects of propolis appear to be mediated in part by cytostatic effects and immunomodulatory effects.
• Taken orally offers spectacular results in the resolution of the hemorrhagic process as a consequence of cancer
  radiation therapy, which favours fast healing of post-radiotherapy ulceration and normalisation of the blood circulation in the periphery of the lesion. The duration of therapy is generally shorter than conventional therapy, while the side effects are generally negligible.
