Sarah: I have not used Propolis Extract so I do not have personal experience to give you but here is some information summarized from my books. Like pollen, it is amazingly full of vitamins, etc.
"Propolis is a sticky, resin-like material consisting of 50-55% resin and balsam, 30% wax, and 10% pollen. Propolis is collected by bees from the leaf buds on the bark of some common trees (Poplaes, Chestnuts..). Bees use their own enzymes to convert it into pollen. They utilize this sticky material as a protection against microorganisms, and to patch holes or cracks in their beehives." "Propolis Extract contains 22 animo-acids, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and bioflavanoids, as well as the complete B complex vitamins, especially Pantothenic acid and Niacin which are necessary to support human life. When taken regularly, it actually creates an amazing natural antibiotic. It simultaneously stimulate the thymus gland and, thus enhances the body's immune system. Propolis actually acts as a natural antibiotic. Gives atheletes more energy and staying power. Helps in fighting flu, colds, coughs, and toncilitis. Can be used externally to heal bruises and blemishes." Check your bottle to see what content, strength and proper usage is for what you have. This is from a picture of a bottle in one of my books. "One full dropper (1 ml.) daily. may be mixed with water, tea, juice or other suitable liquid to efficiently deliver the extract. One ml. (one full dropper) countains 650 mg of Propolis Extract." I cannot find a reference, yet, for dog usage. I cannot imagine that it could be harmful, but like I said, for dogs, I cannot find a reference for usage. There, I said the word dog twice, that should qualify this message for the list? :-) Cheers, Edward Harris Brigadune Cavaliers ----- Original Message ----- From: "Furkids" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 11:31 AM Subject: Re: [CKCS-L] Bee propolis extract > The Bee pollen posts are so informative and it occurs to me that I do have > a bottle of Propolis extract but have not put it to use.
