Propolis is a natural, resinous substance that bees use to coat the inside of the hive to protect it from bacteria, viruses and fungi. They collect it from buds and bark of trees and plants, enrich it with their own enzymes and turn it into a powerful natural protective shield for the hive.

Because of its composition and properties, bee propolis has been used for centuries as a natural aid for various complaints – especially for the throat, mouth and immune support. In our offer you’ll find carefully prepared propolis products from OPG Petrec.

Characteristics of propolis

• Dark brown to greenish-brown in colour, depending on the plants from which the bees collect the resins.
• Strong, resinous and aromatic scent, typical for bee products.
• Most often prepared as an alcoholic or alcohol-free solution (drops/tincture) for easier dosing.
• Highly valued among those who prefer natural remedies for immunity, throat and oral care.

Health benefits and use

• Commonly used for irritated throat, hoarseness and discomfort in the mouth.
• Known for its strong antibacterial and antiseptic action.
• May help support the immune system, especially during cold and flu season.
• Most often taken diluted in water, on a spoon of honey or applied directly to the mucosa (according to instructions).

Propolis is especially sought after in autumn and winter, but also throughout the year as natural support for the body. As with all bee products, people allergic to honey, pollen or other bee products should avoid propolis or consult a healthcare professional before use.
