Q. How does Dr. Ohhira’s Propolis PLUS support immune health?

A. A significant portion of the immune system resides in the gut. The Brazilian Green Propolis, along with other ingredients like Vitamin E and the fermented vegetable extract (which includes prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics), work synergistically to bolster the body’s natural defense mechanisms.

The probiotic extract in Dr. Ohhira’s Propolis PLUS, derived from a long-term fermentation process, helps to support a healthy gut microbiome. Beneficial gut bacteria play a crucial role in training and regulating the immune system. They can influence the production of immune cells and signaling molecules, promoting a balanced immune response and helping to differentiate between harmful bacteria and harmless substances.
