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 (safe) — Inert tablet bulking 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 (safe) — Anti-caking flow agent; harmless but another processing marker.
