This supplement contains red propolis, a distinctive type of propolis harvested from the mangroves of Brazil. Red propolis is characterized by a unique botanical profile and a naturally occurring concentration of polyphenols and other plant-derived compounds.*
Red propolis is derived from resins collected by bees from the plant species Dalbergia ecastaphyllum. Its composition has been the subject of scientific interest due to its diverse array of naturally occurring phytochemicals.*
Red Propolis Extract Overview
Propolis has been used for centuries in traditional practices. Modern research focuses on understanding the chemical composition of red propolis and its role as a source of antioxidant and plant-derived compounds within dietary supplementation.*
Red propolis contains a broad spectrum of naturally occurring constituents, including polyphenols, flavonoids, and isoflavones, which contribute to its nutritional profile.*
- Contains a diverse range of naturally occurring polyphenols and flavonoids.*
- Provides antioxidant compounds that participate in cellular balance.*
- Included as part of a dietary supplement designed to support overall wellness.*
Why is Brazilian Red Propolis Distinctive?
Brazilian red propolis has a composition that differs from other propolis varieties due to the specific botanical environment in which it is produced. Its phytochemical profile reflects the unique plant sources available in Brazilian mangrove ecosystems.*
Analytical studies have identified a wide range of naturally occurring compounds in red propolis, including phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and trace elements commonly found in propolis-derived materials.*
- Polyphenols and flavonoids naturally present in red propolis.*
- Isoflavones contributing to its botanical profile.*
- Trace minerals naturally occurring in propolis.*
Where Does Red Bee Propolis Come From?
Propolis is a resinous material produced by bees using plant resins, wax, and enzymes. Bees use propolis within the hive as a structural and protective material.*
Red propolis is collected by beekeepers and carefully processed to remove impurities while preserving its natural composition. The resulting extract reflects a concentrated source of plant-derived compounds gathered by bees.*
In Brazil, bees collect resins primarily from Dalbergia ecastaphyllum, a climbing plant found in mangrove regions. This botanical source contributes to the distinctive color and composition of Brazilian red propolis.*
Red propolis differs from green propolis, which is produced from a separate botanical source (Baccharis dracunculifolia) and has a different phytochemical profile.*
Why Choose Red Propolis Capsules?
Red propolis capsules provide a convenient way to supplement with this distinctive form of propolis as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.*
- Derived from a specific botanical source unique to Brazilian ecosystems.*
- Delivered in capsule form for ease of use and consistency.*
- Processed using controlled extraction methods to preserve its natural composition.*
- Included as part of a wellness-focused dietary supplement routine.*
