INGREDIENTS

Lithothamnium (Phymatolithon Calcareum), propolis, pollen, hypromellose (vegetable-based capsule), Montmorillonite.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Directions for use: Take 2 capsules 15 minutes before each of the two main meals with a large glass of water, or 2 capsules 2 hours after a heavy meal. *4 capsules per day contribute a significant portion (36%) of the NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) of calcium required for the expected beneficial effect. As with any product containing clay, do not take at the same time as medication or during pregnancy. Use occasionally or for periods of 1 to 3 months. Not recommended for people allergic to bee products. This product is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the stated daily dose. Store the product away from heat, humidity, and light to prevent changes in the appearance of its natural components. The presence of dark spots (propolis) in the capsule does not indicate that the product is spoiled.

Components of natural origin

ALKALINE MINERAL SALTS OF LITHOTHAMNE AND CLAY

They were selected here for their profile and complementary properties. In particular, they allow PROPARGILE® capsules to be a source of calcium, helping to support the normal activity of digestive enzymes without this calcium being of dairy origin. The selected montmorillonite clay comes from Mediterranean regions. It is controlled for internal use according to stricter criteria than those applied to clays for external use (cosmetics).
Highly complementary, montmorillonite and lithothamnium from the seabed provide, in addition to their minerals, an ideal substrate for the other components, propolis and pollen. They allow these components to be delivered in a particularly fine and light form, facilitating the digestive system's delivery of their valuable phytonutrients.

PROPOLIS

Bees collect this resinous, gummy, and balsamic substance from buds and bark, which they coat with their own secretions for use within the hive. These secretions serve a variety of purposes, such as disinfecting and sterilizing the cells before the queen lays her eggs. They also use it to destroy unwanted microorganisms, to anesthetize insects, and to seal the inter-cell openings in the hive.
The use of propolis by humans dates back several millennia. It was notably used by the Pharaohs in Egypt and is found in numerous Mediterranean and European traditions. It is naturally composed of balsams, resins, essential oils, and a wide range of flavonoids and trace elements, which justify its traditional use, also endorsed by many authors. (See works by Dr. Y. Donadieu and Prof. H. Joyeux)

POLLEN

The fertilizing substance of flowers, it is actively sought after by bees because it is an exceptional food source, rich in a wide range of enzymes, nutrients, and natural ferments. It also contains valuable glutamine, in this case of natural origin, often preferred to synthetic glutamines.

Alkaline mineral salts, including calcium, naturally provided by clay (but also in a complementary way by its counterpart found in marine clays, derived from calcareous lithothamnion algae) are used here in PROPARGILE® not only as sources of calcium but also as supports for micronized propolis and pollen.

Such naturally sourced mineral salts, combined with these precious beehive products, have been the subject of a series of observations carried out under medical supervision on digestive comfort (Dr. H. Trum, Amsterdam) with the food supplement PROPARGILE® at a dose of 2 capsules per day for a period of 2 months in 20 people who had regularly experienced for more than 3 years the frequent sensation of having an unpleasantly bloated stomach.

86% quickly regained a feeling of improved digestive comfort. The product was also considered to be well tolerated.
