Evid Based Complement Alternat Med
April 2017
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the health benefits of propolis in humans, focusing on its effects on oxidative stress and lipid levels, since most prior research was done on animals.
- A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involved 67 participants divided into propolis and placebo groups, with evaluations at baseline, 45, and 90 days.
- Results showed significant increases in HDL cholesterol and levels of antioxidants in the propolis group, suggesting that propolis may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
