CONSUMER INFORMATION
The Honey with
Echinacea and Propolis join two natural antibiotics
and immune stimulants, on which several scientific researches
exist. The presence of the honey provides a pleasant flavor
and it benefits the organism with its medicinal properties.
It is use to aid in
the treatment of the infections and inflammatory processes
(laryngitis, influenzas, sinusitis, etc.), and helps in
the therapy for the increase of the immune resistance of
the body.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The Echinacea
angustifolia is an original plant of the United
States and are used since several centuries for the native
Indians of this country. Already in 1907, the echinacea
was the most popular herb used by the American medicine.
It promotes the increase of the defenses of the organism,
activity this confirmed through numerous scientific studies.
The immune modulator effect is showed in several levels:
through an increase in the leucocytes production and lymphocytes,
increase of the properidine rate, increase in the interferon
production (chemical mediator of the immune logic system),
inhibition of the hilauronidase (enzyme of the bacteria
that hurts healthy cells) and the increase of 20 to 30%
of the phagocytes capacity of the macrophages. It also has
an antibiotic effect, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory.
The echinacea is constituted
by a range of compounds that are responsible for its biological
activity. They are: alcamine (isobutilamide), esters of
the caffeic acid (mainly echinacosids and cinarine), pirrolizidinics
alkaloids, polysaccharides, volatile oils, echinolon, betaine,
phytoesterois.
The propolis is
a resinous and balsamic substance, it has some coloration
and consistency, varying to brown color to dark green. It
is produced by the bees from leave sprouts and exudates
of plants, and used inside the beehive, " to fix " comb
honey, to lacquer the alveoli, to close breaches for entrance
reduction of cold wind, and, mainly, to protect of the natural
enemies: fungus and bacteria. It is also use to embalm small
animals killed by the bees inside the beehive, which could
not be getting out, avoiding in this way their putrefaction.
The chemical composition
of the propolis depends on the botanical ecology of each
area and by the bee race, but in general, it is compose
of 50% of resin and balm, 30% of wax, 10% of essential and
aromatic oils, 5% of pollen and 5% of several other substances.
Until the moment, they were already more than 200 chemical
compounds identified in the propolis, like: flavonoids,
aromatic acids, terpenoids, aldehydes, alcohols, aliphatic
acid and esters, amino acids, steroids, sugar, etc. The
intense studies on propolis reveal that these compounds
are the responsible for its several physiologic actions:
anti-microbe (it works as a natural antibiotic), anti-inflammatory,
healing, anesthetic and antioxidant (it combats the free
radicals).
Uniflora works only
with selected propolis from that is obtain; through equipment
developed for maximize the extraction, an extract of highly
concentrated propolis. Our laboratories analyze the composition
of each extract and prepare a " form blend " to obtain the
standardized propolis extract that is used in the products
production.
The honey is
produced by bees from the nectar of the flowers. It is a
rich food, which presents in its composition simple sugars
with fast assimilation on the organism, mineral salts (potassium,
sodium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, etc.), amino
acids, enzymes and vitamins. It presents the following properties:
expectorant, fluidifying, healing, and antiseptic.
Honey facilitate the
ingestion and absorption of the products, and prevents the
oxidation of its ingredients.
