What Are The Benefits Of Propolis? "Black Gold"?

1. Propolis Products That Attract Much Attention

In today's society, people's attention to health is constantly increasing, and the pursuit of high-quality healthy life has become a general trend. With the improvement of living standards and the increasing popularity of health knowledge, people are no longer satisfied with the treatment after illness, but pay more attention to daily health care, hoping to maintain the body in good condition through various natural and effective ways. Among the many choices of health care, propolis, as a substance with the reputation of "black gold", is increasingly valued by people. Propolis is a natural bioactive substance processed by bees from the resin collected from plant spores or tree trunks and mixed with the secretions of their maxillary glands and wax glands. Bees will apply it to the hive to fill the larval nests, beehive gaps and air circulation areas. With its effective sterilization and antiseptic properties, it is beneficial to maintain the hygiene of the hive and prevent virus invasion, and help control the occurrence of bee colony diseases. At the same time, propolis is rich in flavonoids, phenolic acids, terpenes and many other bioactive substances, which have good therapeutic and health effects on many diseases of the human body.

2. Advantages of AMULYN Propolis Series Products

Propolis is a solid colloid formed by mixing plant resins collected by bee insects and their secretions. Bees play the role of "propolis producers" in nature. They first find and collect resinous substances from tree and plant buds, such as conifers, poplars, willows, etc. These plant resins usually contain multiple ingredients and are the basic raw materials for the formation of propolis. In addition, only in spring and summer when plants grow branches and teeth and resin flows out can bees collect raw materials for propolis production. In addition, the number of worker bees specifically responsible for collecting glue in each bee colony is also small, which makes propolis a relatively rare natural product. After bees collect and process propolis, they will apply it to the hive to fill larval nests, beehive gaps, and air circulation areas. With the effective sterilization and antiseptic properties of propolis, it can keep the hive hygienic and prevent virus invasion, which plays an important role in controlling the occurrence of bee colony diseases. The surface of propolis is sometimes smooth and sometimes rough. Its fracture surface is sand-like and similar to the appearance of marble. When you touch propolis, you can feel that it has a certain stickiness and a unique beeswax luster, which is due to the wax components it contains, which produces corresponding visual effects under the action of light. In terms of smell, propolis has a special and pleasant aroma. This unique aroma comes from the volatile compounds contained in it, such as eucalyptol and camphor, which can be sensed by smell. The aroma is pleasant and long-lasting. In ancient Egypt, propolis was also used as a spice. When tasting propolis, you will feel that it tastes slightly bitter and slightly spicy, and it will stick to your teeth when chewing.

3. Special Ingredients In The AMULYN Propolis Series

(I). Flavonoids And Their Effects

Flavones are one of the important ingredients in propolis. Their content in propolis is usually within a certain proportion range. Generally speaking, the standard of flavonoid content in propolis is about 30%-50%. Flavonoids have many beneficial effects on human health. It is a powerful antioxidant that can help the body eliminate free radicals. Free radicals are one of the important factors that cause human cell aging and pathology. Flavonoids can effectively reduce inflammatory reactions by removing free radicals, thereby protecting the health of vascular endothelial cells and playing a positive role in delaying aging.

At the same time, flavonoids also have the function of regulating hormone levels in the human body, which helps to maintain the normal operation of various body functions. Moreover, it can improve the microcirculation in the human body, such as increasing vascular tension, reducing vascular fragility, and optimizing vascular permeability, which is of great significance for maintaining normal blood circulation and ensuring the nutrient supply of various tissues and organs in the body. In addition, flavonoids can also promote skin metabolism and have a beautifying effect, such as helping to smooth wrinkles, decomposing pigments, reducing pigmentation, etc., helping the human body maintain a good health and appearance from multiple aspects.

(II). Terpenes And Their Effects

Terpenes are the main components of volatile oils in propolis. At least 20 to 30 types have been identified, such as sesquiterpene ethanol, α-pinene, β-pinene, α-cedrene, orientin, eucalyptol, etc. It occupies a certain proportion in propolis and is a natural hydrocarbon compound with strong aroma and physiological activity. As natural ash compounds, terpenes have many beneficial effects on human health. In terms of sterilization, it can inhibit the growth and reproduction of a variety of pathogens, help the human body resist the invasion of external pathogens, and maintain the body's healthy environment. In terms of anti-inflammatory effects, for inflammatory reactions in the body, such as local inflammation caused by injury or disease, terpenes can effectively reduce inflammatory symptoms and relieve discomfort. The analgesic effect is also quite significant. For example, it can play a positive role in relieving the pain symptoms caused by diseases such as frozen shoulder and rheumatoid arthritis, and reduce the patient's pain. At the same time, it also has anti-cancer properties. Through various ways such as regulating the internal environment of the body, it helps to fight cancer to a certain extent and plays an auxiliary role in cancer prevention and anti-cancer. In addition, terpenes also have the effects of bidirectionally regulating blood sugar, lowering blood lipids, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, strengthening immunity, cooling and removing wind, and aromatic opening of the orifices. It regulates and improves the physiological functions of the human body from multiple angles and protects people's health.

When the skin is damaged or infected, topical propolis can effectively inhibit pathogens, prevent inflammation from worsening, and promote the repair and regeneration of skin tissue.

(II). Blood Sugar Regulation Effect

Propolis has shown positive effects in regulating blood sugar, which has brought certain help to diabetic patients and people who are concerned about blood sugar health. The ingredients in propolis can improve the activity of pancreatic β-cells and improve the secretory function of pancreatic islets. For example, flavonoids and terpenes can promote the synthesis of exogenous glucose into glycogen and regulate blood sugar in both directions, which can significantly reduce blood sugar levels. In addition, propolis can also increase the body's sensitivity to insulin, improve insulin resistance, and effectively regulate blood sugar from multiple aspects.

However, it should be made clear that although propolis has the effect of regulating blood sugar, it cannot replace drug treatment. For people with diabetes, a reasonable diet, proper exercise, and following doctor's advice for drug treatment are still crucial. Propolis can be used as an auxiliary means to help maintain relative stability of blood sugar.

(III). Regulating Blood Lipids

Propolis also has a significant effect on regulating blood lipids, which is of great significance to maintaining human cardiovascular health. Propolis is rich in bioactive ingredients such as flavonoids and ferulic acid, which have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. They can regulate blood lipid levels through multiple mechanisms.

(IV). Antioxidant And Anti-Aging Effects

The flavonoids in propolis are powerful antioxidants that can help the body eliminate free radicals. Free radicals are one of the important factors that cause aging and pathology of human cells. Flavonoids can effectively reduce inflammatory responses by removing free radicals, thereby protecting the health of vascular endothelial cells. Moreover, terpenes and other ingredients in propolis also have antioxidant capabilities. They work synergistically to fight against the damage of free radicals to the body. From a cellular level, propolis can increase the activity of intracellular antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), enhance the cell's antioxidant defense system, and enable cells to better maintain their own structural and functional integrity when facing adverse factors such as free radicals, thereby delaying the aging process of cells.
