NZCAPE™30+ Propolis

Propolis, the bees' broad spectrum antibiotic

Bees collect resin from twigs on trees such as poplars and mix this with wax and their own enzymes. This becomes propolis, or putty resin, which the bees use to seal their hive. At the same time, propolis protects against the invasion of viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

NZCAPE ™ 30 + Propolis, "the special one" from New Zealand

In New Zealand, propolis is found with a uniquely high content of bioactive flavonoids and caffeic acids. These bioactives act synergistically to promote health. Especially the content of CAPE (caffeic acid phenetyl ester) is many times higher compared to propolis from other countries. CAPE is an indicator of the high quality of propolis. That is why our tested Cosana Propolis NZCAPETM30+ contains at least 30 mg CAPE in 10 g pure propolis.

Propolis: a substance for health since ancient times

Already in early antiquity, propolis was used to treat diseases. Today, scientists have proven that propolis has antimicrobial, antiviral and antioxidant properties. That is why propolis has been the interest of immune and cancer research.
