Propolis Citation:
“Propolis was shown to have antidepressant-like properties, antimicrobial activity, cytotoxic activity, and protective effect against liver damage with cholestasis. Polyphenols that are contained in propolis possess immunomodulatory, chemopreventive, and antitumor effects. They exert their chemopreventive effect by multiple molecular mechanisms on apoptosis signaling pathways in cancer cells. EEP and polyphenols isolated from propolis have been shown to sensitize cancer cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis.” Source: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ecam/2013/807578/
Propolis Citation:
“Propolis is a multifunctional material used by bees in the construction and maintenance of their hives. Use of propolis by humans has a long history, predated only by the discovery of honey. Use of products containing propolis have resulted in extensive dermal contact and it is now increasingly being used a dietary supplement. Unlike many ‘natural’ remedies, there is a substantive database on the biological activity and toxicity of propolis indicating it may have many antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral and antitumour properties, among other attributes. Although reports of allergic reactions are not uncommon, propolis is relatively non-toxic, with a no-effect level (NOEL) in a 90-mouse study of 1400 mg/kg body weight/day” Source:
