PROTECTION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT MUCOSAE,

NATURAL IMMUNOSTIMULANT ACTIVITY,

ANTIBACTERIAL, ANTIVIRAL

and ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY

PROPOLIS is a unique synergy between flora and fauna. It is composed mainly by the plant resins and exudates that bees gather from different plant origins.

Opunxia™ is a highly concentrated solid extract obtained from the cladode of Opuntia ficus indica (L.), a prickly pear cactus typically growing in the Mediterranean area. Opunxia™ is produced by specialized techniques that guarantee the natural composition of the mucilages contained in the cactus “leaf”. Through new technologies adopted by Bionap, the viscous mucilage has become a stable and manageable solid ingredient.

During the processing phase, the propolis extract is mixed with Opunxia™ to obtain a double-active microencapsulated product, able to elicit multiple effects.

This is due to the mucoadhesive properties of Opunxia™ acting as a protective barrier for mucosae tissue and the highly purified polyphenols of Propolis acting as an ANTIBACTERIAL, ANTIFUNGAL AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY NATURAL COMPOUND.
