마더네스트 프로폴리스 5000 메가 스트렝스 (250캡슐)

Overview

Mothernest’s Propolis 5000 Mega Strength harnesses the natural power of bee propolis in one potent, easy-to-take capsule. Traditionally used in herbal medicine and natural wellness circles, propolis is gaining scientific attention for its potential immune-supporting and antioxidant properties.

What is the supplement?

Propolis is a resin-like material produced by bees using plant resins, beeswax, and their own enzymes. It’s used to seal and sanitise the hive, and in human use, is known for its antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.

How was it discovered?

Ancient civilisations like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used propolis for wound care and infection prevention. Today, researchers continue to explore its bioactive compounds, especially flavonoids and polyphenols.

What is its role in the human body?

While not an essential nutrient, propolis offers supportive effects through its natural compounds, which may assist the immune system, particularly during seasonal changes or when cold symptoms appear.

What foods is it naturally found in?

Propolis is not found in everyday foods. It is produced by bees and harvested from beehives, typically requiring supplementation to access its health benefits.

How is it beneficial?

• Immune support: According to research published in Molecules, propolis shows immunomodulatory properties, helping regulate the body’s natural immune responses.
• Antioxidant action: Studies have confirmed propolis contains potent antioxidants that help neutralise free radicals that contribute to cellular damage (Healthline, 2023).
• Cold symptom relief: Preliminary research suggests propolis may assist in reducing the duration and severity of cold symptoms, though more clinical studies are needed to confirm this.

What Does the Research Say About the Supplement’s Efficacy?

• A review published in the Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmacology (2005) noted propolis has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulant effects, largely due to its flavonoid and phenolic content.
• Research from PubMed Central (PMC) also points to its antioxidant properties which may aid in immune resilience.
• According to Better Health Channel (Vic Gov), natural remedies like propolis are commonly used in complementary health, but should be taken with awareness of allergic potential.
