What is the Heilnatura Propolis “APV” solution?
Propolis, also called bee resin, is a natural protective resin that honeybees make from collected bud and tree resins, beeswax, and their own enzymes. The resulting brown-yellow, aromatic substance serves as a “bee glue” in the hive. Bees use it to seal gaps and close openings, creating a low-germ, low-pest environment for the colony. The term comes from Greek. “Pro” means “before/for” and “polis” means “city,” a nod to its role as the protective wall of the “bee city.”
The “APV” propolis solution is an alcohol-free, glycerin-free water extract of pure bee propolis, filled in a 50 ml amber glass bottle with a child-resistant cap and glass dropper. Gentle, cool water extraction preserves sensitive propolis constituents to a high degree, while ethanol, oils, and synthetic additives are completely avoided. Every production batch is tested by independent accredited laboratories for pesticide residues, heavy metals, microbial load, and purity before sale. The mild formula is suitable for children as well as for pregnant and breastfeeding individuals. The dropper enables precise dosing and helps prevent accidental overdosing.
