Dr. Ohhira’s Propolis PLUS: A Synergy of Nature’s Most Potent Immune and Antioxidant Allies

In the pursuit of holistic wellness, Dr. Ohhira’s Propolis PLUS emerges as a groundbreaking supplement, expertly blending the raw power of nature’s defenders with advanced scientific understanding. This unique formulation goes beyond conventional immune support, leveraging the extraordinary properties of Brazilian Green Propolis, a synergistic combination of probiotics and propolis, and a potent antioxidant trio for unparalleled protection.

Brazilian Green Propolis: Nature’s Golden Shield and Why It is So Powerful

At the core of Dr. Ohhira’s Propolis PLUS is Brazilian Green Propolis, a highly prized and extensively researched natural substance. Unlike other forms of propolis, Brazilian Green Propolis is uniquely derived from the Baccharis dracunculifolia plant, native to the pristine rainforests of Brazil. Its distinctive green hue is indicative of its rich concentration of specific beneficial compounds, most notably Artepillin-C.

What makes Brazilian Green Propolis so powerful?

  • Rich in Artepillin-C: This unique phenolic compound is largely responsible for the potent biological activities of Brazilian Green Propolis. Artepillin-C has been extensively studied for its remarkable antioxidant, inflammatory response balancing, and immune-modulating properties.
  • Broad-Spectrum Bioactivity: Beyond Artepillin-C, Brazilian Green Propolis contains a complex array of flavonoids, phenolics, and other bioactive compounds that work synergistically to provide comprehensive health benefits.
  • Immune System Fortification: It acts as a natural guardian, helping to bolster the body’s defenses against various challenges. Its compounds support the activity of immune cells, contributing to robust immune system support.
  • Natural Protective Properties: Historically, recognized for its overall health promoting qualities, propolis also helps to maintain a healthy microbial balance within the body.

This exceptional raw material forms the bedrock of Propolis PLUS, offering a level of natural protection that is truly extraordinary.

Synergy of Probiotics and Propolis for Unrivalled Immune Support

Dr. Ohhira’s expertise in fermentation and gut health takes center stage in Propolis PLUS, creating a powerful synergy between his renowned probiotics and the potent propolis. While propolis directly supports the immune system, its effectiveness is amplified when combined with a healthy gut microbiome – the cornerstone of immunity.

The integration works on multiple levels:

  • Gut-Immune Axis Reinforcement: A significant portion of our immune system resides in the gut. Dr. Ohhira’s probiotics, with their diverse strains and rich postbiotic metabolites (developed through the multi-year fermentation process), optimize gut health. A healthy gut environment allows the immune system to function more efficiently.
  • Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: A balanced gut microbiome, fostered by the probiotics, can improve the absorption of beneficial compounds from the propolis, maximizing its systemic impact.
  • Holistic Defense: This dual-action approach provides comprehensive immune system support. Propolis offers direct protective and immune-modulating effects, while the probiotics ensure the foundational strength of the gut-immune axis, creating a more resilient and responsive immune system.

This intelligent combination addresses immune health from both the front lines and the foundational core, offering a truly holistic defense strategy.

Nature’s Antioxidant Powerhouse: Propolis, Astaxanthin & Vitamin E

Beyond immune support, Dr. Ohhira’s Propolis PLUS stands as a formidable propolis antioxidant supplement. The formula ingeniously combines Brazilian Green Propolis with two other titans of the antioxidant world: Astaxanthin and Vitamin E.

  • Propolis: As mentioned, Brazilian Green Propolis is replete with powerful antioxidants, including Artepillin-C and various flavonoids, which actively neutralize free radicals that can cause cellular damage and contribute to aging and disease.
  • Astaxanthin: Often hailed as “the king of carotenoids,” Astaxanthin is an incredibly potent antioxidant, many times stronger than Vitamin E and Vitamin C. Its unique molecular structure allows it to span the entire cell membrane, providing comprehensive protection against oxidative stress to cells, tissues, and organs throughout the body, including the brain and eyes.
  • Vitamin E (Tocotrienols & Tocopherols): This essential fat-soluble vitamin is a well-known antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage. Dr. Ohhira’s formula includes a full spectrum of Vitamin E, offering a completer and more effective antioxidant defense.

Together, this triumvirate creates a robust shield against oxidative stress, supporting cellular health, promoting healthy aging, and safeguarding overall vitality. Dr. Ohhira’s Propolis PLUS is not just about immune defense; it is about empowering your body with nature’s finest tools for comprehensive protection and well-being.
