7 Fast Acting Combination. Synergistic Honey Blend For Better Assimilation. Immune Boosting Power. Propolis is a resinous substance gathered by the bees from the leaf buds or the bark of certain trees and bushes. The bees then use the propolis as a "cement" that lines the walls of the hive in which they prepare honey pollen royal jelly and other related by-products. Nature has provided bees with this substance to keep them and their hives free of germs in spite of 40000 to 50 000 bees being crammed into close quarters in the hive. . The green to brownish glue-like material with an aromatic smell and slightly bitter taste is made up of 50 to 55 percent resin and balsam 40 percent wax 10 percent other depending on what kind of foliages available. . Researchers found the therapeutic properties of propolis come from substances called flavonoids found in the resin. . Propolis is rich in minerals B-vitamins and antibiotics and works to raise the body's natural resistance by stimulating it to produce its own disease fighting defenses. . Bees collect propolis treat it with their own enzymes and use the sticky material to patch holes or cracks in the hive. This organic "cement" protects the insects and their home from contamination moisture and germs.

"I got this because of the recommendation of Dr. Oz, as something good for dry lips. When I put it on, it was really sticky and felt awful on my lips.
I read that it was something to eat....I don't know about that."

"The only reason I'm giving this product low marks is because I just couldn't stomach the taste. I even tried to put it in my smoothies, but it made it taste like medicine. I have friends who love this stuff and I've heard all about it's wonderful health benefits, but I have stopped using it since the taste makes me feel nauseated."
