Bee Immune Propolis Spray

Health benefits at a glance:

Honeybees produce propolis, also called bee glue, from plant compounds to build, seal, and help protect the health of their hive.

Propolis offers similar benefits for your health, and Life Extension's oral spray can provide fast-acting immune support. The ingredient in this formula has been shown to promote throat and respiratory comfort, with results reported in as little as three days of use.

This oral spray supplement is gluten-free, vegetarian, and non-GMO.

Why it works:

Bee propolis has been used for generations to fight respiratory challenges by promoting a balanced immune response in the respiratory system.

However, because honeybees create propolis from the plants around them, its polyphenol content can vary from hive to hive. As a result, raw propolis or traditional propolis supplements may not always provide consistent results.

That is why Bee Immune Propolis Spray uses the bee propolis Promunel®, which contains the same polyphenol content in every dose. This standardized form is clinically studied to support your upper respiratory tract and a healthy immune response.

The science behind the product:

Benefits of standardized propolis & supportive nutrients

Bee Immune Propolis Spray delivers an evaluated daily dose of 2,070 mg of Promunel®, a brown propolis extract, standardized to provide 12 mg of polyphenols. This is to ensure a consistent and stable profile of active compounds, which means you get the same amount of beneficial propolis in every dose. (1,2)

The oral spray also contains 0,21 mg of riboflavin and 1,5 mg of zinc – nutrients studied for their support of immune and respiratory health.

Support for respiratory health & comfort

In a study (double-blind, placebo-controlled), participants with respiratory complaints using the standardized bee propolis spray (12-24 mg of propolis polyphenols) 3 times a day for 5 days experienced improvements two days faster compared to the placebo group. (1)

Promunel® & higher plasma levels

In a clinical trial (double-blind, crossover), individuals who consumed 400 mg of a standardized propolis supplement had significantly higher plasma and urine levels of propolis phenolic compounds biomarkers than those taking a placebo. (3)

How to use:

Please take according to the dosage and use guidelines under the supplement facts, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.

FAQ:

What is in Bee Immune Propolis Spray?

The product contains a clinically studied daily dose of 2,070 mg of Promunel® bee propolis, standardized to deliver 12 mg of polyphenols. It also includes 0,21 mg riboflavin and 1,5 mg zinc. These ingredients have been studied for their support of respiratory and immune health.

What is propolis and its function?

Propolis is a resin-like substance honeybees make from plant saps and waxes. Bees use it to seal and protect their hive and maintain colony health. In humans, polyphenols in propolis have been studied for their ability to support a healthy immune response, upper respiratory tract health, and overall daily well-being.

Who is this product for?

Bee Immune Propolis Spray is designed for adults of all ages who are seeking fast-acting throat comfort and respiratory immune support.

What sets Bee Immune Propolis Capsules apart from other propolis products?

Raw and traditional propolis products can vary widely depending on region and season, making it difficult to achieve consistent benefits. This formula uses Promunel®, which uses a patented extraction process resulting in an extract standardized to provide 12 mg of polyphenols daily, and a reproducible fingerprint of polyphenolic markers.

Laboratory testing following ingestion of this propolis demonstrated effective gastrointestinal absorption, with 72 phenolic compounds identified in the blood and 85 detected in urine.

When can I expect results?

In a clinical study of people who took Promunel®, respiratory comfort and support were observed after 12 weeks of use.

If you use it three times daily, you may see results in your respiratory health and comfort in as early as 3 days. This was reported for most of the participants in the Promunel® bee propolis group of the clinical study (2 days faster than the placebo group). The most significant effects were noted after 5 days.

Individual results may vary, and we recommend following the study duration for the best evaluation of product efficacy.

When is the best time to take it? Should it be taken with food or on an empty stomach?

For each dose of Bee Immune Propolis Spray, spray 5 times into the mouth and swallow. It's suggested to take 3 doses per day (for a total of 15 sprays daily) for 5 consecutive days. The spray can be taken either with food or on an empty stomach.

How does the Bee Immune Propolis Spray compare to the Bee Immune Propolis Capsules? [link]

Both products contain Promunel® propolis, undergoing a patented extraction process designed to preserve the full polyphenolic complex found naturally in raw propolis. However, these products should be taken for different uses, dosages, and time periods, based on their clinical studies on immune and respiratory health:

• For fast-acting immune and respiratory support: The Bee Immune Propolis Spray should be taken for 5 days.

• For year-round support: Take Bee Immune Propolis Capsules daily, long-term.
