Propolis fusion: enhancing the benefits of a natural protector

28/07/2020

Propolis is a substance that serves for the defense of bees and, therefore, is essential for the survival of the hive. This defense is not only beneficial for these insects, but also for humans, due to its high nutrient content. However, it is possible to get even more from the product when you combine the diversity of propolis that can be found in Brazil.

The própolis Fusion is a product that proposes to enhance the benefits of some of the Brazilian propolis, uniting them in a single solution. To know exactly how it works and what benefits it can bring, keep reading this text!

What is Fusion Propolis?

Created by Beeva Brazil, Fusion propolis contains 21% of dry extract of different types: wild green, red and caatinga green. The product still has pollen particles, making it even richer. Finally, like all foodtech products, it is free of chemical additives.

Propolis Fusion's proposal is to combine the diversity of chemical compositions of the different types of propolis and, thus, offer more active benefits to the health of those who consume it. But how is it produced? We answer below.

What's in Propolis Fusion?

First, we have the nutrients of the two types of green propolis, which are potent antioxidant, antimicrobial and immune system agents. We also have substances from red propolis, which has antitumor, antimicrobial and antioxidant action. 

Therefore, the Fusion propolis extract has biological and pharmacological effects that are worth three products in one. As scientific studies show that propolis continues to generate the discovery of treatments for different types of diseases, the union of these three types of resin can be considered an excellent source of nutrients.

What properties make up Fusion extract?

As stated earlier, Fusion propolis extract is composed of two types of green propolis, wild and caatinga, in addition to red propolis. And Brazil is well known for the three types, since it is the largest producer in the three cases.

Green propolis

With regard to green propolis, it is produced from wild rosemary and can be found in more than one biome. According to studies, it has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. It is considered by researchers in the field as a potent antibiotic and has already been proven effective in Alzheimer's treatments.

Red propolis

The existence of red propolis in Brazil is restricted to the northeastern coast (Alagoas, Bahia, Paraíba, Sergipe and Pernambuco). In this case, the howler’s tail, typical vegetation of the mangroves, is one of the main sources of red resin.

The first studies on it showed efficacy against psoriasis, in addition to anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antitumor actions. The identification of new constituents in Brazilian red propolis, through research, continues to discover new functionalities to the resin.

Therefore, it is also possible to attribute antibacterial, antimycotic and antifree radical activities to red propolis. All this serves to inform you that, regardless of its plant source, propolis can offer a number of benefits. This is mainly due to the role it plays in the hive: it is the bees' chemical weapon against external threats.
