Why Brazilian Green Propolis?
Derived from the vegetation surrounding the bees hive, the potency and composition of propolis depends highly on its regional source. Known as the Gold Standard of propolis, the best Brazilian propolis is often referred to as Green Propolis due to its vivid color. In particular, Brazilian Green Propolis found in the Minas Gerais region is derived mostly from Alecrim (Baccharis dracunculiforia), an herb peculiar to South America. The wild-growing plants are free of pesticide residue and allergy-causing agents.* Minas Gerais Green Propolis contains remarkably high cinnamic acid derivatives (i.e. Artepillin C) and is, consequently, more potent than any other source. The unique Africanized honey bees of this area have adapted to living in a very difficult environment; the potency of their propolis reflects this fact. Preserving that potency, Dr. Ohhiras Green Propolis PLUS uses a patented water-soluble extraction method to remove the green propolis from its natural environment. More About
