Propolis Tincture

Boost your immune system with our bee propolis tincture. Our tincture is made from Sonoma County derived bee propolis in a biodynamically farmed grape distillate.  Research suggests that some of the anti-oxidative effects of propolis may have potential cardiovascular, neurological, and anti-diabetic benefits.

Propolis is effective in the relief of allergy symptoms by inhibiting the histamine release.  Propolis has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties and is recommended as a preventative for colds and allergies.  Please consult your primary care physician before taking any new supplement or tonic.

Research shows that propolis is rich in flavonones, flavones, and phenolic acid that effectively fight bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

“Propolis is particularly active in fibronectin processes supporting healthy growth and wound healing.

Propolis resembles a complete apothecary.  It is composed of resin (50%), wax (30%), essential oils (10%), pollen (5%), and other organic compounds (5%).

The last category includes phenolic compounds (caffeic acid and cinnamic acid, esters, flavonoids, terpenes, beta-steroids, aromatic aldehydes, and alcohols.  Propolis contains no less than twelve flavonoids including many common to plants:  rutin, quercetin, acacetin, chrysin, luteolin, kaempferol, apigenin, myricetin, catechism, and galangin.  It also contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, and E, and minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, copper, zinc, manganese, and iron.“
