Excellent Product, high quality This is a very excellent product. High quality and potent, it is like honey but make sure that you aren't allergic before taking it. Vitacost is a great source for many products that you can't get elsewhere and most of the time you get free shipping. December 13, 2012

good purchase The quality of this product is excellent. It has a strong pollen and beeswax taste that some may not like. I use 1/4 tsp in hot lemon tea or just dissolve it in my mouth. May 6, 2012

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. January 23, 2011

YS Eco Bee Farms Propolis Extract Description

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 40,000 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.
