Propolis extract (Promunel®)

Propolis is a resinous substance produced by bees from plant buds and bark, enriched with wax and salivary enzymes. Used since antiquity for its protective properties, it contains a wide variety of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, phenolic acids and esters, to which its antioxidant, immunomodulatory and antibacterial properties are attributed. Promunel® refers to a standardised patented extraction process that guarantees a reproducible and controlled concentration of active ingredients. In vitro and clinical studies suggest that propolis polyphenols help modulate the immune response and support the body's natural defences against pathogens. Its active compounds also appear to contribute to limiting oxidative stress at the cellular level. Supplementation with a standardised propolis extract such as Promunel® is of particular interest to those wishing to support their immunity in a targeted way, especially during periods of seasonal vulnerability. The standardisation of the extract ensures a consistent level of active compounds, which is a notable advantage over raw propolis, whose composition varies depending on geographic origin and season.
