Propolis has good antibacterial activity, and mouthwash containing propolis has a good inhibitory effect on dental plaque and a good effect on the prevention and treatment of dental caries. The research shows that adding 2.5% Brazilian red propolis to dental care coating can effectively inhibit Streptococcus mutans and prevent dental caries.

2, the wound healing effect

Propolis has a good anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect. Corrêa and other studies have found that Brazilian red propolis can accelerate the wound healing of mice by down-regulating inflammatory transcription factor NF-κB and related inflammatory factors, and the wound surface is smaller than that of the control group.

3. Reduce blood sugar

Flavonoids and terpenes in propolis can promote the synthesis of hepatic glycogen from exogenous glucose and the secretion of insulin from pancreas, so as to make the blood sugar of diabetic patients drop steadily and achieve the effect of safe hypoglycemic.

Extended data:

Quality standard of propolis

1, propolis contains a lot of flavonoids and polyphenols, and its physiological activity is closely related to it, so the content of flavonoids and polyphenols in propolis is an important index to evaluate the quality of propolis.

2. Generally speaking, low quality propolis contains less than 1 1%, qualified propolis 1 1% ~ 14%, and excellent propolis 14% ~ 17%. > 17% is high quality propolis.
