Bee propolis flavonoids can regulate immune function, enhance macrophage phagocytosis and natural killer cell activity, increase the production of antibodies, enhance humoral and cellular immunity, and improve resistance to disease and self-healing.
2. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic
Bee propolis contains effective anti-inflammatory, anti-itching, pain, hemostasis, antifreeze, anti-cracking, sunscreen effect of the components of the brass compounds, if you feel the pain in the throat, a small amount of warm water with a small amount of propolis can be relieved.
3. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
Bee propolis contains chitosan enoic acid, which has high antibacterial activity, and it has been proved that propolis has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, upper respiratory tract infections, and Streptococcus capillaris, among others.
4. Lowering blood lipids
Bee propolis contains a large number of flavonoids, flavonols and other substances, which can effectively combat hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia junction as well as the prevention of the accumulation of lipids in the cylinder, hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis have a preventive effect.
5. Lowering blood sugar
Propolis is rich in flavonoids, which can reduce the serum lipid peroxide content of diabetics and enhance the vitality of glutathione peroxidase, whose mechanism is closely related to the scavenging of free radicals, inhibition of lipid peroxidation, counteracting cellular damage and promoting cell repair and regeneration. The flavonoids in propolis have the effect of promoting the synthesis of hepatic glycogen using exogenous glucose, which can significantly reduce blood sugar.
6. Liver protection
Bee propolis has the effect of protecting the liver, which has no obvious relationship with a particular substance of propolis, propolis in a variety of nutrients in the coordinated role of propolis, often use propolis in water to drink can be effective health care for the liver, on the alcoholic liver, medication liver injury, lactose liver injury, and so on, there is a very good restoration of the effect.
7. Protect the gastric mucosa
Propolis promotes gastrointestinal emptying, and can form a protective film on the surface of the gastric mucosa, especially at the ulcers, to reduce the contact time with irritants, through the antioxidant properties of propolis, to reduce the other treatment of ulcers or the side effects of non-steroidal medications, the use of flavonoids in conjunction with histamine receptor antagonists for the treatment of ulcers and to reduce the occurrence of of gastric cancer mutations.
8. Anti-cancer
Bee propolis has the effect of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, anti-mutagenesis, anti-oxidation, anti-radiation, anti-pathogenic vitamins and regulation of immune function, etc. Consumption of bee propolis can improve the body's adaptive ability to the changes in the environmental factors, and it can impede and inhibit the production of carcinogenic substances or potential carcinogens.
9. Anti-radiation
Bee propolis has a variety of enzymes in the body has a regulatory effect, especially its water extract is the strongest effect, so propolis in water can effectively enhance the serum acid phosphatase activity, but also to promote the stimulation of superoxide dismutase release of SOD, can inhibit radiation in the γ-rays induced cancerous reaction.
10. Antioxidant
Bee propolis is a natural antioxidant, in low concentrations have a strong antioxidant capacity, especially to make the body's superoxide dismutase SOD activity significantly increased, can stabilize and remove free radicals, to prevent a variety of diseases.
