APICEUTICS

Natural preparation BRONHOCET contains pure Croatian propolis and bees pollen in which dominates flower powder of Dalmatian plant businac (Cistus sp.) with addition of vitamin C. Propolis and pollen are prepared in their native form without chemical treatment in solvents and because of that they contain all healthy natural ingredients. That kind of propolis (produced by special innovative procedures) and pollen, are examined at “Ruder Boskovic” Institute in Zagreb and at Martime medicine Institute in Split.

Ingredients
One gelatinous capsule contains 385 mg of propolis and bee flower powder in 2:1 proportion and 15 mg vitamin C (ascorbic acid).

Therapeutic actions
Numerous clinical experiences and studies are showing therapeutic potential of propolis in inflammation processes of nasal cavity, throat, sinuses, glottis and in bronchitis and tuberculosis.

Clinical research in mild to moderate asthma showed considerable improvement in respiratory functions and decrease in number of nightly attacks by 2,5 times. Clinical improvement is followed by decrease of substances that are aiding inflammatory process and triple increase of anti inflammatory substances.

Researches at Institute “Ruder Boskovic” determined that propolis improves antioxidant lungs defense. This is of special importance for adults, because their lungs are very vulnerable to oxidative stress and cannot activate antioxidant protection by themselves. [Oxidant/antioxidant properties of Croatian native propolis. J Agric Food Chem. 2006 Oct 18;54(21):8018-26] On the preventive effect of native propolis is indicating the genetic method of DNA chips in which has been proved that it explicitly amplifies the gene whose lack leads to lungs cancer.

Usage
Its used for strengthening and protection of respiratory organs by individuals that are inclined to or have inherited illnesses of respiratory organs and especially for smokers to reduce the risk of severe illnesses.

Dosage and administration
Take preventively 2x2 capsules per day at least half an hour before meal or between meals. In acute stages dosage can be increased to 2x3 or 3x3 capsules per day in consultation with your doctor.

Harmful effects
None harmful effects have been registered or are expected when taking recommended doses because of the original natural source of bee substances produced without the chemical processing with solvents.
