The functions of natural propolis can be summarized as six resistances, four reductions, one increase, one clear, one beauty and one promotion, namely anti-infection, anti-virus, anti-oxidation, anti-fatigue, anti-radiation; lowering blood lipids and lowering blood sugar. , lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol; enhance immunity, scavenge free radicals, beautify, and promote tissue regeneration. The propolis product market research report mentioned that natural propolis has inhibitory and killing effects on bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It is a precious natural broad-spectrum antibiotic substance. Extensive research and clinical experiments on natural propolis have proven that propolis product market research shows that various ingredients in natural propolis have vitamin P-like effects, which are very effective in softening blood vessels, reducing blood vessel fragility, dilating blood vessels, and accelerating blood flow. At the same time, it can also reduce the aggregation of red blood cells and platelets, effectively improving the efficacy and function of natural propolis 1. Enhancement of natural propolis and immune function. Natural propolis has a wide range of effects. After being consumed by people as a health care product, it usually affects their physical condition. Improvement, due to individual differences, some people do not feel it, but the immune-enhancing effect of natural propolis has been confirmed by numerous experimental observations. The effect of natural propolis can increase the content of total serum protein and gamma globulin, enhance the phagocytic function of white blood cells and macrophages, and improve the body's specific and non-specific immune functions. It can be considered that the therapeutic effect of natural propolis on infectious diseases is that on the one hand, it inhibits the growth and reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms, on the other hand, due to its immune-enhancing effect, it improves the body's disease resistance, ultimately eliminates pathogens and cures the disease. Natural propolis has a wide range of effects on the body's immune system. It not only enhances humoral immune function, but also promotes cellular immune function, and has beneficial effects on the thymus, spleen and immune system. Propolis can not only promote the body to increase antibody production, but also enhance the phagocytic capacity of macrophages and natural killer cell activity. The immune-enhancing effect of propolis is an important mechanism of propolis medicinal health care. 2. Functions of natural propolis: Treating cerebrovascular diseases. Natural propolis has many functions. Chinese herbal medicines that have good curative effects on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases all contain flavonoids; drugs used to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis also contain flavonoids. Flavonoids have already attracted widespread attention from the medical community at home and abroad. Research on natural propolis has proven that flavonoids such as rutin, quercetin, galangin, caffeic acid, and α-catechin in propolis have strong antioxidant effects and can soften blood vessels, reduce fragility of blood vessels, and reduce abnormal circulation. It penetrates, improves microcirculation, and prevents and cures vascular sclerosis. Some flavonoids and terpenes also have very good effects on lowering blood sugar, blood lipids, and cholesterol. How to distinguish real and fake natural propolis. Natural propolis is a kind of secretions collected by bees such as resin and volatile oil. After repeated chewing and processing by bees, it is mixed with secretions from bees' maxillary glands, tongue glands and other glands and a certain proportion of beeswax and pollen. A natural solid gel with aromatic odor and viscosity. 1. Sensory identification: natural propolis is an opaque solid. The surface is smooth or rough, the broken surface is sand-like, and the cut surface is similar to the shape of marble. Natural propolis is generally brown, reddish brown, tan or grayish brown, sometimes with a greenish color, and a few are almost black. Propolis has an aromatic smell; tastes slightly bitter and slightly spicy; is sticky and plastic; sticks to teeth when chewing. 2. It can be softened by rubbing it with hands, and its relative specific gravity is about 1.127. Fake propolis is generally collected directly from the resin manually and extracted and processed into an extract. Fake propolis is basically gum. The so-called propolis made entirely or partially from this gum is fake propolis. The production cost of this kind of fake propolis is much lower than that of real propolis, and the cost of natural propolis products made from it is naturally much lower. Some people use this product under the banner of propolis to engage in price wars and engage in unfair competition. In fact, as long as people are relatively knowledgeable and familiar with propolis, it is not difficult to identify the authenticity of propolis. The biological effects of natural propolis on bees are not found in fake propolis. Moreover, the raw materials and processing of fake propolis will bring many unsafe factors, which may cause harm to consumers. Therefore, products using fake and inferior propolis extract as raw materials have entered the market, causing endless harm. This is not only detrimental to the interests of consumers, but also damaging to their own jobs.

This requires consumers to choose propolis products carefully, and pay special attention to products that do not have health food batch numbers and are produced by informal companies. They should not be cheated by thinking that they are all propolis products anyway because they are cheap.
