Propolis Tincture with 20% Propolis share, 1 liter

• Propolis is not soluble in water. Nevertheless, it can be mixed with water, e.g. for gargling. This results in grey streaks that do not represent a loss of quality. Please note that the container used will turn brown in colour.
• Caution: Do not bring propolis into contact with clothing or other objects. It can only be removed from smooth surfaces with alcohol. Alcohol also helps with clothing, but only for yourself, as you cannot remove propolis from clothing.
• Therefore, please always make sure that the propolis solution applied to the skin is completely absorbed and dried.
• PAHs in propolis
  Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs for short) are generally understood to occur in particulate matter and are considered potentially carcinogenic. Therefore, despite the lack of a legal maximum quantity regulation for bee products, they should also be kept as low as possible in propolis. The use of smokers, among other things, causes the so-called PAHs to enter the beehives and thus also increasingly into the propolis and beeswax. Our supplier started working with the manufacturers, extractors and the authorities involved some time ago (before 2020) to optimise the production of propolis tinctures. The aim was to minimise the PAHs in the Apopharm solutions. This includes stricter purchasing controls with regard to PAHs in raw materials and extracts as well as optimised processing and purification of the propolis solutions. Our extractors achieve this by using new filtration techniques, among other things, which make it possible to filter out insoluble fine dust, sometimes containing PAHs, from the solutions even better than before. However, this significant improvement in quality may result in the aroma and colour of the propolis tinctures differing slightly from the qualities you are used to. The colour may be slightly lighter and the aroma slightly softer. However, these changes have no effect whatsoever on the quantity of propolis contained in the tinctures we offer.
• Result: The tinctures / solutions we offer from Apopharm are regarding PAHs, simply put, cleaner or purer with the same propolis content! If you have any further detailed questions on this topic, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
