🐝 ABOUT PROPOLIS

Nature’s Protective Shield from the Beehive

Propolis is a natural substance produced by bees from plant resins. Due to its unique composition, it has been used for centuries in various traditions. Today, it is also widely studied to better understand its characteristics.

WHAT IS PROPOLIS?

Propolis is a resin-like substance produced by bees from plant materials such as buds and bark, combined with wax and enzymes.

  • ✓Used by bees in the beehive
  • ✓Contributes to the internal structure of the hive
  • ✓Plays a role in the natural balance of the colony

Propolis is an integral part of the hive ecosystem.

Because plants, climates, and ecosystems differ around the world, propolis is never exactly the same. Its color, aroma, and bioactive compounds depend entirely on where bees collect their resins.

THE DIFFERENT TYPES AND COLORS OF PROPOLIS

Among these, Brazilian Green Propolis stands apart — not just in color, but in composition, consistency, and scientific relevance.

WHAT IS BRAZILIAN GREEN PROPOLIS?

Brazilian Green Propolis is produced exclusively in specific regions of Brazil where Baccharis dracunculifolia (also known as “Alecrim-do-campo”) grows naturally.

Bees collect resins from this plant, which has a distinctive composition including various natural compounds such as Artepillin C.

  • ✓Deep green color from fresh plant resins
  • ✓High concentration of Artepillin C
  • ✓Stable, reproducible composition
  • ✓Strong synergy between phenolic compounds and flavonoids

Brazilian green propolis is among the most studied types of propolis.

ARTEPILLIN C – A KEY COMPONENT

Artepillin C is a natural compound found in Brazilian green propolis and commonly used as a reference marker in scientific analysis.

  • ✓nalytical studies identify Artepillin C as a characteristic component of extracts from Baccharis dracunculifolia
  • ✓A controlled study in volunteers observed that after intake of Brazilian green propolis, Artepillin C was detectable in blood samples
  • ✓Laboratory studies using cell models investigate interactions between propolis extracts, Artepillin C, and biological markers

These findings describe measurable properties and continue to be explored across different scientific fields.
