Swanson Vitamins Bee Propolis 550 mg (60 capsules) contains bee propolis, a resinous substance that honeybees collect from buds and bark of trees and plants. Each capsule provides 550 mg bee propolis. The product is available in a pack of 60 capsules and offers a flexible dosage of 1 to 3 capsules per day, to be taken with water. Thanks to this easy intake and adjustable dosage, the product is practical to fit into a daily routine.
If you are allergic to pollen (such as with hay fever), bee stings or bee products, it is wise to first consult a specialist before use. Propolis is a natural bee product and in rare cases can cause an allergic reaction in sensitive people.
Propolis, also called bee glue, is a substance that bees make by combining plant resins with beeswax and their own saliva enzymes. Bees use this substance to seal and protect their hive.
Propolis, bee pollen and royal jelly are three different products made or collected by honeybees. Propolis is a resinous substance for the hive, bee pollen is plant pollen collected by bees, and royal jelly is a nutrient produced by bees for the queen bee and larvae.
Raw propolis is the unprocessed substance as produced by bees, while propolis extract is a processed form in which certain components from the raw propolis are concentrated. Supplements such as capsules are generally made with a processed form of propolis.
The composition of propolis depends on the plant species from which bees collect the resins. Because plant growth differs per region and season, the exact composition of propolis can vary.
