Canadian bee propolis in a glycerin only liquid 128 mg ofย Apis mellifera secretion per 24 drops, with no ethanol and no propylene glycol. A source of antioxidants for the maintenance of good health.

The Ingredient

Bee propolis is a resinous substance produced by honey bees (Apis mellifera) from plant resins, beeswax, and bee secretions. Canadian propolis is predominantly derived from poplar (Populus) tree buds temperate zone propolis with a well characterized antioxidant profile. Primary bioactive compounds include flavonoids (pinocembrin, chrysin, galangin, quercetin) and phenolic acids including caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) and ferulic acid. The poplar-derived origin is the basis for the allergy caution regarding poplar tree products.

Why Alcohol Free?

Many propolis liquids use ethanol as the primary solvent. This formula uses glycerin (glycerol) only a polyol humectant and solvent that dissolves and stabilizes the propolis extract, provides a mildly sweet taste, and is gentle on mucous membranes. No alcohol. No propylene glycol.

Clinical Research

Flavonoid composition and antioxidant activity of temperate zone bee propolis from Apis mellifera

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2004

This study characterized the flavonoid composition and antioxidant activity of temperate zone bee propolis derived from Apis mellifera colonies in poplar-rich environments, representative of Canadian propolis. The primary flavonoids identified โ€” pinocembrin, chrysin, galangin, and quercetin โ€” demonstrated significant free radical scavenging activity across multiple validated antioxidant assays. The authors noted that the flavonoid profile of poplar derived propolis is among the most well characterized of any propolis type, providing a consistent and reproducible antioxidant compound profile. The study concluded that temperate zone Apis mellifera propolis is a well-characterized source of natural antioxidants with a strong phytochemical evidence base.

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester from bee propolis: antioxidant activity and biological properties

Phytotherapy Research, 2010

This study examined the antioxidant activity and biological properties of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), the primary phenolic acid in poplar derived bee propolis. CAPE demonstrated potent free radical scavenging activity and was found to inhibit lipid peroxidation in cell membrane models. The authors noted that CAPE is one of the most biologically active compounds in temperate zone propolis and is a key contributor to the antioxidant activity of Canadian Apis mellifera propolis. The study concluded that CAPE from bee propolis represents a well characterized natural antioxidant compound with a strong evidence base for its role in the antioxidant activity of propolis extracts.

Glycerin versus ethanol extraction of bee propolis: comparative bioavailability and antioxidant compound stability

LWT Food Science and Technology, 2015

This study compared the bioavailability and antioxidant compound stability of glycerin based and ethanol based bee propolis extracts. Glycerin based extracts demonstrated comparable extraction efficiency for flavonoids and phenolic acids relative to ethanol based extracts, with superior stability of heat sensitive phenolic compounds over extended storage periods. The authors noted that glycerin-based propolis extracts provide a practical alcohol free alternative to ethanol tinctures without meaningful loss of antioxidant compound content. The study concluded that glycerin is an effective solvent for bee propolis extraction, supporting the use of glycerin only propolis liquids as a viable alcohol free format for antioxidant supplementation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Bee Propolis Drops?

Bee Propolis Drops are a liquid supplement made with propolis collected by bees from plant resins. This Canadian formula provides a convenient alcohol free way to add propolis to a daily wellness routine.

What are the benefits of bee propolis drops?

Bee propolis contains naturally occurring antioxidant compounds that help protect cells against oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

Is bee propolis a good source of antioxidants?

Yes. Propolis naturally contains polyphenols, flavonoids, and other plant derived compounds that contribute to its antioxidant properties.

How do you take Bee Propolis Drops?

Bee propolis drops can generally be taken directly or mixed with water or another beverage. Always follow the recommended serving directions on the product label.

Who should avoid bee propolis?

People with allergies to bees, bee products, pollen, honey, or related substances should consult a healthcare professional before using propolis. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals and those taking medications should also seek professional advice before use.
