1. What is Propolisol and what is it used for?

The active ingredient of the preparation - propolis extract is an ethanolic extract of bee glue - propolis. Propolis is a complex substance containing over 300 identified chemical compounds. Among the biologically active components, the most numerous group consists of phenolic compounds (50-60%), including flavonoids (about 5%). The constant representatives of phenolic compounds include benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, coffee acid, and ferulic acid, benzyl alcohol and cinnamyl alcohol, and esters of these compounds. The most common flavonoids include chrysin, tectochrysin, acacetin, apigenin, galangin, kaempferol, quercetin, pinostrobin, and pinochembrin.
In the propolis extract, terpenic compounds (about 1%) also occur in small amounts, mainly geraniol and borneol.
