Powerful Natural Phytonutrients

Polyphenols are naturally occuring compounds1 found in plants and are widely recognized for their potential health benefits2. Among them, flavonoids - a well-studied subclass - are well known for their positive effects on health3. These beneficial compounds are abundant in fruits, vegetables and tea and are found in high concentration in certain bee products.4

 

 

 

 

 

Powerful Partners: Polyphenols and Flavonoids

Antioxidant effects

Polyphenols, particularly flavonoids, are powerful antioxidants, meaning they help neutralize free radicals, contributing to longevity and better health. By reducing oxidative stress, polyphenols protect against cellular damage.

Anti-inflammatory effects

Chronic inflammation is linked to various health issues. Polyphenols, particularly flavonoids, can modulate inflammatory pathways, helping to reduce the risk of these conditions by preventing excessive inflammation in the body.

Your Health is Your Wealth

Gut health

Polyphenols can positively influence gut microbiota, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria while inhibiting harmful ones. This can improve digestion and gut health, which is linked to various aspects of overall health, including immune function and mood regulation.

Brain health

Research suggests that flavonoids can improve cognitive function. They enhance brain plasticity, promote neurogenesis (the formation of new neurons), and reduce oxidative damage in the brain.

Cardiovascular health

Flavonoids have been shown to improve heart health. They can help to enhance blood vessel function, reduce blood pressure, lower LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol), and improve circulation.

Skin Health

Due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, flavonoids can help protect the skin from UV damage, reduce signs of aging, and promote healthier skin.

Better Absorption

Generally, it is hard for our bodies to absorb phytonutrients from bee products such as propolis. To overcome this challenge, the propolis extract is obtained using a patented extraction method which increases the bioavailability (absorption) of the phenolic compounds in our bodies to 72%.

Enhanced Intake of Polyphenols

After supplementation with the specific propolis extract used in the Bee People products, 155 phenolic compounds were identified in urine. Out of these, 85 were were found to be biomarkers of the propolis extract supplementation, including 75 flavonoids and 10 other phenolic compounds.

Total Polyphenol Content (TPC) Measurement

Total Polyphenol Content (TPC) refers to the overall concentration of polyphenolic compounds in a substance measured in milligrams per kilogram.

Clear Standardization

TPC factor

The TPC factor stated on the bottle label of our products gives a clear indication of the total amount of polyphenolic compounds in milligrams in the respective product. Additionally, on our supplement products, the amount of polyphenols per dose in milligrams can be found on the label of the product.

Setting standards

This standardization allows us to deliver high quality products with measurable results, ensuring that the potency of their active ingredients can easily be compared.

Folin-Ciocalteu testing method

The honey and propolis used in our products are tested by an independent professional laboratory to measure their Total Polyphenol Content using the Folin–Ciocalteu Method.

Focus on selected bioactive compounds

We focus on the bioactive complex of six major polyphenols: Quercetin, Galangin, Chrysin, Apigenin, Pinocembrin & Pinobanskin.

Clinically Proven

The propolis extract in our products has been clinically proven in a study with 295 subjects.

Which foods are good sources of TPC?

Phenolic compounds can be found in vegetables and fruits. The total recommended intake per person per day is 300mg.
