The Therapeutic and Cosmetic Power of Red Propolis

Red propolis, with its exotic color and unique therapeutic properties, stands out for its richness in bioactive compounds, especially isoflavonoids.

The main components include: - Medicarpin (antiseptic) - Quercetin (anti-inflammatory) - Vestitol (antiseptic and anti-inflammatory) - Liquiritigenin (antioxidant) - Daidzein (antioxidant) - Formononetin (antiproliferative) - Biochanin A (antiproliferative)

Studies show that red propolis has a unique composition, never observed in other varieties of propolis, which are rich mainly in phenolic acids and esters. This exclusivity makes red propolis a unique product, of invaluable value for health and well-being. Scientific research confirms its antiseptic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It inhibits the production of prostaglandins, acts as a blocker of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α) and suppresses the activity of the transcription factor NFkB, actions that explain its potential in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, active plaque psoriasis and Crohn's disease. In addition, it shows signs of antitumor activity, similar to curcumin.

When used in cosmetics, such as soaps and creams, red propolis provides remarkable therapeutic properties, making the formulations antiseptic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and healing. The benefits are not limited to topical use. The consumption of red propolis helps control cholesterol and prevent osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases. It is also indicated in the treatment of dermatitis, wounds, inflammation and infections, reinforcing its wide application and effectiveness. This combination of properties makes red propolis an exceptional and versatile product, with proven benefits for health and personal care.
