Himalayan Organics Propolis Extract 500mg – 60 Capsules

Propolis is a remarkable resinous compound produced by honeybees by combining plant resins, beeswax, pollen, and their own enzymatic secretions into a complex substance used to seal and sterilise the beehive. With over 300 identified bioactive compounds — including flavonoids, phenolic acids, terpenes, and esters — propolis is one of nature’s most chemically diverse and biologically active substances, with an impressive breadth of evidence supporting its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties.

The flavonoids in propolis — particularly chrysin, quercetin, kaempferol, and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) — are responsible for its potent antioxidant activity. These compounds neutralise free radicals, protect cellular DNA from oxidative damage, and demonstrate anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting NF-kB signalling pathways and inflammatory enzyme cascades. Propolis has demonstrated in vitro antimicrobial activity against a remarkably wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, supporting its traditional use as a natural immunity and oral health enhancer.

For immune support, propolis stimulates macrophage activity and enhances the production of immunoglobulins, contributing to a robust immune response. It is widely used for supporting throat and upper respiratory health during seasonal challenges, and as a year-round immune tonic.

Himalayan Organics Propolis Extract 500mg is standardised for total flavonoid content, ensuring consistent therapeutic potency. Ethanol-extracted for maximum bioactive compound retention. GMP-manufactured with heavy metal testing. Note: individuals with bee or poplar allergy should not use propolis.
