For you, if you want to “bee” your healthiest self year-round
Bee Immune Propolis Capsules can:
Promote a healthy immune response in the respiratory system
Help reduce frequency & duration of respiratory immune challenges
Offer a formula standardized to active propolis compounds
Provide year-round immune support
Bee Immune Propolis Capsules contains standardized bee propolis to support a healthy immune response, upper respiratory tract health, and overall daily wellness. The supplement is gluten-free, vegetarian, and non-GMO.
Health benefits at a glance:
Honeybees produce propolis, also called bee glue, from plant compounds to build, seal, and help protect the health of their hive.
As it turns out, propolis offers similar benefits for your health, too. Bee Immune Propolis Capsules can provide reliable, year-round support for everyday respiratory challenges. The supplement is gluten-free, vegetarian, and non-GMO.
Why it works:
Bee propolis has been used for generations to fight respiratory challenges by promoting a balanced immune response in the respiratory system.
But, because honeybees create propolis from the plants around them, its polyphenol content can vary from hive to hive. As a result, raw propolis or traditional propolis supplements may not always provide consistent results. (1)
That is why Life Extension uses a standardized bee propolis with the same polyphenol content in every dose, along with clinically studied support for immune response and respiratory health. The bee propolis in this formula is found to reduce the frequency and duration of everyday respiratory challenges.
The science behind the product:
Beneficial standardized propolis
Promunel™ is a clinically studied brown propolis ingredient standardized to 12% polyphenols, with a consistent and stable profile of active compounds. This means you get the same amount of useful propolis compounds in every serving. (2,3)
Promunel® & higher propolis level
In a clinical trial (double-blind, crossover), individuals who consumed 400 mg of standardized propolis had higher levels of propolis phenolic biomarkers in their blood plasma and urine than those taking a placebo. This shows improved bioavailability of these propolis compounds, which means they are well absorbed and available in the body. (4)
Respiratory immune challenges & Promunel®
In another study (randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled), participants taking 200 mg of standardized bee propolis twice daily reported a 31% decreased chance of experiencing respiratory discomfort compared to those taking a placebo.
The participants also observed 29% fewer seasonal respiratory discomfort episodes and a shorter duration of symptoms, 34% decrease, compared to the placebo group. (3)
Don't let an unprepared immune defense "sting" you – support your respiratory immune health every day and "bee" ready all year!
How to use:

FAQ:
What is in Bee Immune Propolis Capsules?
Each daily serving provides 400 mg of Promunel® bee propolis extract, clinically studied and standardized to 12% polyphenols (48 mg). These bioactive compounds have been researched for their role in supporting respiratory and immune health.
What is propolis and its function?
Propolis is a resin-like substance honeybees make from plant saps and waxes. Bees use it to seal and protect their hive and maintain colony health. In humans, polyphenols in propolis have been studied for their ability to support a healthy immune response, upper respiratory tract health, and overall daily wellness.
