It is no secret that propolis is boiled with poplar buds.
See CCTV's report on fake propolis for details.
True propolis is a gelatinous solid with fragrant smell, which is made of resin collected by bees from plant spores or tree trunks and mixed with secretions of palatal gland and wax gland. draw
According to the data released by China Bee Products Association, the annual output of propolis in China is about 300 tons.
Only 300 tons of propolis is not enough for China people to consume13. We should select a large part of products with good quality and export them to European Union, Japanese and other countries.
You can calculate how much propolis is left for production in China.
In fact, there are pharmacies and health care products stores all over the country. Which one doesn't sell several brands of propolis soft capsules? No wonder the industry exclaimed: 1000 tons of propolis output sold1000 tons of sales!
That's the truth. You can't believe it. As an old beekeeper who has been beekeeping for 30 years, I am deeply saddened.
Now the national propolis market is full of fakes and naked deception. False propolis was made from poplar buds, and artificially extracted flavonoids (quercetin, rutin, etc.) were added. ) has always been a hidden rule in the industry. Some people have taken propolis soft capsules for several years without knowing it.
The law cannot punish them. According to the current national standards, fake propolis is also qualified glue, which is a backward national standard!
"Our products use high-quality natural propolis, and the content of flavonoids is as high as 2.5%", which is a common saying of propolis sales staff.
Propolis can have multiple functions at the same time, which depends on the comprehensive function of its precious components, not just the function of flavonoids. Why do propolis manufacturers spare no effort to publicize the index of flavone content?
The answer is obvious, because flavonoids are easy to extract and dope! If it is artificially added brass, what is the significance of high content?
It is not recommended that you buy any brand of propolis soft capsules!
One: Fakes are rampant, and there are only about 100 tons of real propolis in the country a year. Can you guarantee to buy real propolis?
Two: too little content. Even if you are lucky enough to buy real propolis soft capsules, I doubt its efficacy with such poor content. Don't think that those heavy black particles are propolis, and most of them are polyethylene glycol, gelatin and glycerol additives. It is good to have 1/20 propolis, as shown in the figure.
This is Baihua brand propolis soft capsule.
Ingredients list: polyethylene glycol, gelatin, glycerin, propolis.
Active ingredients and content: 2.25g of total brass per100g.
You can calculate how many ingredients are really effective in a bottle of propolis soft capsules with a price of 200 to 300 yuan.
0.4g/ capsule× 228 capsules× 0.225 = 20.52g flavone.
This is the health care product you bought for 300 yuan! The content of total flavonoids is 20.52g! !
Where is the conscience of propolis enterprises in China?
Please light your thumb and let more people who don't know the truth know the truth.
