If there's one natural substance that bees defend with all their might... it's propolis.
Propolis is a natural resin collected from tree buds and bark that bees mix with wax and enzymes to create a kind of "protective shield" for the hive.
It serves to:
-
protect the hive from bacteria and fungi
-
maintain a sterile environment
-
defend the colony from external agents
In other words, it is the hive's immune system.
It's no surprise then that humans have used it for centuries as a natural support for well-being and the body's defenses.
What is propolis good for: the most known benefits
In recent years, propolis has become one of the most searched natural remedies online when it comes to sore throats, immune defenses, and seasonal colds.
This is because it naturally contains:
-
flavonoids
-
polyphenols
-
aromatic compounds
-
plant resins
Substances that scientific research has long studied for their properties.
Among the benefits traditionally attributed to propolis, we find support for:
Immune defenses
Propolis is often used during periods when the immune system is under more stress, such as:
-
seasonal changes
-
winter
-
periods of stress
-
physical fatigue
Throat and respiratory tract
Many people use propolis when they experience:
-
irritated throat
-
common cold
-
hoarseness
-
respiratory discomfort
Antioxidant action
Thanks to natural polyphenols, propolis also contributes to support against oxidative stress, one of the factors linked to fatigue and cellular aging.
When to take propolis
One of the most searched questions on Google is:
"When is the best time to take propolis?"
The simplest answer is: when you feel your body needs support.
For example, when:
-
you feel like "you're coming down with something"
-
the season changes
-
you are particularly tired or stressed
-
you want to naturally support your defenses
Many people also use it preventively during the colder months.
Propolis and mood: what does organic saffron from Sant'Egle have to do with it?
At Sant'Egle, when we decided to create our formula, we asked ourselves a very simple question:
If propolis supports defenses...
why not combine it with something that also helps mental well-being?
This led to the idea of combining propolis with one of the world's most precious spices:
organic saffron in stigmas
Not flavorings.
Not industrial extracts.
Real organic saffron cultivated at Sant'Egle.
Saffron has been known for centuries and is now the subject of numerous studies for its possible role in supporting:
-
mood
-
mental well-being
-
protection from oxidative stress
In simple words?
It helps you feel:
-
more centered
-
clearer
-
more vital
Organic propolis and organic saffron: two-level support
The combination of propolis and saffron works in a complementary way.
Propolis
→ support for natural defenses
→ support for throat and respiratory tract
Saffron
→ antioxidant support
→ mood support
An approach that not only focuses on body defense, but also on the overall well-being of the person.
How to choose quality propolis
When it comes to propolis, the quality of the raw materials is fundamental.
Here are some important aspects to consider:
Origin of raw materials
It's best to choose propolis from a controlled supply chain that respects the hive.
Presence of natural ingredients
Avoid products with artificial flavors or unnecessary fillers.
