• Galangin

• Quercetin

• Pinocembrin

• Pinobanksin

• Apigenin

• Chrysin

Propolis: A Natural Substance Produced by Bees

Propolis is a resinous substance collected by bees from various plant sources. Bees combine it with materials such as wax and their own secretions to create a complex natural substance.

Its composition varies according to the available plants, geographical region and harvesting season. Propolis naturally contains various plant compounds, including polyphenols and flavonoids.

A Characterised Extract

Promunel® is produced using the patented M.E.D.™ extraction process and is standardised according to six characteristic propolis flavonoids.

This standardisation provides a way to characterise the extract's composition and establish quality specifications for its production.

Ingredient: Promunel® propolis extract.

Extraction process: Multi-Dynamic Extraction (M.E.D.™).

Standardisation: At least 25% for the six major flavonoids, according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Precautions: Propolis may cause allergic reactions, particularly in people sensitive to bee products or certain plant substances. Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, has an allergy or takes medication should seek advice from a healthcare professional before use. Follow the instructions on the product label.

Why you won’t find any health claims on our propolis

You may have noticed that the description of our propolis focuses on its origin, extraction process and composition, without saying anything about what it might do for your body. In France and the European Union, food supplements may only carry health claims that have been scientifically assessed and officially authorised, and no such claim is currently authorised for propolis. The flavonoid standardisation of our extract is a quality and manufacturing consistency criterion: it describes what the product contains, not the effects it might have on health. A product also cannot be presented as preventing, treating or curing a disease, as it would then be considered a medicine, which is subject to different regulations.
