What is Naturactive Propolis 20 capsules used for?
This dietary supplement contains propolis, and is particularly recommended during the winter months. Propolis is a resinous substance produced by bees from a mixture of wax, resin and pollen.
Propolis
Produced by the honeybee Apis mellifica L.
Plant/extract ratio: 1 kg of propolis is needed to obtain 2 kg of propolis extract.
Propolis is a dark, waxy substance produced by bees from the resins exuded by the buds and bark of certain trees (pine, fir, spruce, poplar, alder, etc.). Workers use them to protect and sanitize the hive. Following in the footsteps of Greek physicians, the great Iranian scholar Avicenna recommended propolis to treat arrow wounds. During the Boer War at the beginning of the 20th century, propolis proved to be an invaluable disinfectant and healing agent. Propolis contains a wide range of amino acids, vitamins, trace elements and polyphenols (including flavonoids).
The propolis in Naturactive Propolis 20 capsules helps strengthen the body's natural defenses, which is particularly beneficial in times of colds, flus and other common viral infections. By acting as an immune stimulant, propolis helps the body better defend itself against pathogens by boosting the immune response. It also promotes the production of certain immune cells, such as lymphocytes, which play an essential role in fighting infection. Thus, regular intake of propolis can help reduce the frequency and severity of seasonal infections, helping to maintain a robust, resistant immune system.
The polyphenols present in propolis act as powerful antioxidants, protecting the body's cells against damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules produced during the body's normal metabolism, as well as by environmental factors such as pollution, smoking and UV radiation. Excessive accumulation of free radicals can lead to oxidative stress, contributing to premature aging and various chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. By acting as free-radical scavengers, propolis' polyphenols help neutralize these harmful substances, helping to prevent cellular damage and maintain overall health.
Propolis' anti-inflammatory properties can help relieve symptoms of inflammation, such as pain and swelling, in a variety of health conditions. Inflammation is the body's natural response to infection, injury and other irritations, but chronic inflammation can contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as arthritis, heart disease and diabetes. Propolis acts by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators and modulating the activity of immune cells involved in the inflammatory process. By reducing inflammation, propolis can help relieve associated symptoms and promote healing in a variety of health conditions, offering natural, effective relief.
