Description
Comvita has created the PFL standard for Propolis Flavonoids to show the concentration of flavonoids found in 2 propolis capsules. PFL15 delivers at least 15mg of propolis flavonoids per 2 capsules. Propolis is a natural resin created by bees to build and protect their hives from diseases. Propolis is made from buds of conifer and poplar trees, beeswax and other bee secretions. Historically, propolis was used to treat abscesses and heal wounds. Studies suggest propolis has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Some evidence suggests that propolis and some of its components may stop the growth of Helicobacter pylori, the stomach ulcer causing bacteria.
