How to Take Bee Propolis

So, it's time to write an article on just how to do this!

First of all, there are several forms in which bee propolis is available. These include tinctures, raw propolis chunks and also capsule form.

How to Take Propolis Tinctures

Our alcohol based propolis tincture is 50% propolis. For general health purposes, I recommend a third to one half dropper full of the 50% propolis extract daily. The 50% propolis is best squirted directly into the back of the mouth and swallowed directly as the resins in this ultra-pure product give it a waxy texture. It is difficult to mix as a result of this. I have people tilt their heads back and squeeze the tincture right into the back of the throat. Our 20% water base propolis is more suitable to mixing into liquids but also tastes better too as it is diluted.

Our water based propolis tincture is 20% propolis extract. It also has a milder taste and is less waxy due to the lower propolis content. I recommend one full dropper of the 20% water based tincture daily for general health.

How to Take Propolis Chunks

You simply chew or swallow them whole. One word of caution - propolis is a dark brown substance that can stain your teeth so be careful if chewing the chunks.

For general health, I recommend 2 chunks of raw propolis per day.

If I am fighting a cold or trying to prevent one, I double or even triple this. Propolis is the very best supplement I've ever used for preventing colds.

And remember, if you are treating a specific health condition with propolis, you'll want to adjust your dose up accordingly.

How to Take Propolis Capsules

In the event you do get a cold and want help getting rid of it ultra fast, take 6 - 8 capsules per day 2 capsules at a time.

If you are treating a serious health condition, higher doses of propolis are safe. It is always best to speak to a Holistic Health professional like a Naturopathic Doctor about your condition and a requisite dose.
