What Makes Brazilian Green Propolis Unique?
Brazilian Green Propolis stands apart from common brown propolis due to its exceptional phytochemical profile. Sourced exclusively from the Baccharis dracunculifolia plant in the Minas Gerais region of Brazil, it boasts a distinctive green colour and a high concentration of Artepillin-C – a molecule rarely found in other propolis varieties. This compound, together with a rich blend of flavonoids and phenolic acids, supports the body's natural defences in a unique way.
ApisBrasil captures these beneficial components in a liquid extract form, presented in a 30 ml bottle with a convenient dropper for precise dosage.

What Is Brazilian Green Bee Propolis?
Propolis is a natural resinous substance produced by honeybees. Bees collect resin from tree buds, sap flows, and other botanical sources, then mix it with their own secretions—including saliva and beeswax—to create this protective compound. They uses propolis to seal cracks in the hive and defend the colony against external threats.
Brazilian Green Propolis is a special variety harvested from the Minas Gerais region of Brazil. What sets it apart is its source: the Baccharis dracunculifolia plant, native to Brazil. This plant gives the propolis its distinct green colour and unique phytochemical profile. ApisBrasil sources its propolis from this region, ensuring an authentic product rich in bioactive compounds.
