Ingredients (6)

• Bee Propolis 5:1 Extract (safe) — The actual active. Resin bees collect from plants, rich in bioflavonoids. Well tolerated, but a genuine allergen for bee-sensitive people.
• Hypromellose (cellulose capsule) (safe) — Plant-based capsule shell. Inert cellulose derivative, fully digestible, no health impact.
• Microcrystalline Cellulose (moderate) — Processed plant pulp used as a bulking/flow agent
• Stearic Acid (vegetable source) (safe) — A plant-derived fatty acid used as a flow agent. Neutral saturated fat at these trace amounts.
• Magnesium Stearate (vegetable source) (safe) — Standard anti-caking lubricant so powder does not stick to machinery. Trace amount, no known harm.
• Silicon Dioxide (moderate) — Anti-caking agent — an industrial processing additive.
