WHAT IS RED PROPOLIS?
Red propolis, the rarest of all, is almost exclusively found in Brazil – more specifically, in a mangrove area in the state of Alagoas. However, this variation of red propolis has also been discovered, in smaller quantities, in some regions of Cuba.
In Brazil, propolis was classified into 13 groups, based on its organoleptic and physicochemical characteristics. The 13th type is red propolis, which has been an important source of research since the late 1990s. Its properties come from numerous compounds, including terpenes, pterocarpans, prenylated benzophenones, and, mainly, flavonoids.
RED PROPOLIS AND STUDIES
Flavonoids have stood out in research for their potent pharmacological actions, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, healing, and antiproliferative effects. The consumption of foods or supplements containing isoflavones can provide a variety of health benefits, including antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant action, and relief of menopause symptoms. This is the case with red propolis extract. Studies also show positive results of red propolis use in controlling diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and HIV. This is because it regulates blood glucose, dilates blood vessels, and helps eliminate free radicals, which are responsible for the degeneration of the body. In research related to HIV control, it was identified that red propolis is capable of preventing the reproduction of the virus in cells, reducing the discomforts and symptoms resulting from the syndrome.
