Propolis lozenges

Propolis lozenges are a type of throat lozenge that combines the natural resinous substance bees produce with botanical extracts and, often, nutrients such as vitamin C. They're among the products that can be a pleasant addition to a daily routine.

When Are Propolis Lozenges Typically Chosen?

As with other throat lozenges, propolis lozenges are generally chosen for general comfort support, often alongside complementary flavors such as lemon, honey, or linden.

One Point Worth Keeping in Mind

Propolis can cause a reaction in people who are sensitive or allergic to bee products. If you know you have this kind of sensitivity, consulting a healthcare professional before using propolis lozenges is recommended.

When Should You Consult a Healthcare Professional?

If you notice a reaction such as itching, redness, or swelling after using a propolis product, stopping use and consulting a healthcare professional is recommended.
