Propolis is a sticky, 100% natural, waxy substance that bees make from the resin that they extract from tree buds (poplar, birch...). The bees mix this resin with saliva enzymes, with wax and pollen to form propolis. Propolis is effective for the bees against fungi and bacteria, which is why they use it to protect their hive against external threats. Because it contains so many nutritious substances, including vitamins, minerals and bioflavonoids, propolis is used by humans as a supplement in various forms. And... children love it.

A vitamin C deficiency does not only aggravate the effects of feeling lethargic but also weakens your natural defences. With these chewing tablets winter will pass you by like a soft summer breeze.

Where does propolis come from? How is it made?

To prevent germs and small insects from entering the bee hive and gorging themselves on freshly-made honey, bees chew on resin to blend it with the enzymes from their tongue and jaw glands, and then they mix this with their own beeswax. Propolis, the magical end-product of this endeavour, is used by the bees to cover up each and every tiny hole in the hive to protect the colony from bacteria and infections. These anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory attributes make propolis the ideal cure for all winter ailments.
