プロポリス (Puropurisu)

Japanese supplement OEM standardisation methods differentiate Japanese-processed propolis from raw Brazilian or Chinese supply; high traceability to specific apiaries.
Flavonoid content 3-15% in standardised extracts; cinnamic acid carry-over from Brazilian green propolis; ethanol-extraction grade vs water-soluble grade differ in profile.
Immune-support throat sprays, propolis-positioned skincare, wellness beverages.
Resinous mixture collected by honey bees from tree buds and used to seal hives. Japanese commercial propolis is largely processed from imported raw resin (primarily Brazilian green propolis) under strict Japanese supplement-grade standards, with limited Japan-domestic raw production. Japanese flavonoid + cinnamic-acid standardisation drives premium positioning in immune-support and cosmetic-skin-conditioning applications. Yamada Bee Farm and Honjien have built decade-old Brazilian-supply partnerships with Japanese-style processing standards. Distinct from royal jelly in active-ingredient profile.
