1. The functions and effects of propolis

1. Improve immunity

Propolis can improve the body's immune function and increase disease resistance. The flavonoids and polysaccharides in propolis can regulate body metabolism and enhance immunity.

2. Antiviral

Propolis can be antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiprotozoal. Propolis is rich in active virucidal ingredients such as galangin, kaempferol, quercetin, and isopentyl ferulate.

3. Regulate blood sugar

Increase the efficacy of hypoglycemic drugs, improve diabetes symptoms, and prevent and treat diabetic complications. The flavonoids and terpenes in propolis can promote the synthesis of liver glycogen from exogenous glucose and regulate blood sugar in both directions, and can significantly lower blood sugar.

4. Regulate blood lipids

Propolis can regulate blood lipids, reduce excessive cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density protein, and increase high-density lipoprotein.

5. Soften blood vessels

Propolis can soften blood vessels, enhance blood vessel tension, and reduce blood vessel fragility and abnormal permeability.

Propolis has the best effect when taken on an empty stomach. Diabetic patients should take it at the same time as taking hypoglycemic drugs, half an hour before meals.
