Propolis with Vitamin C and Zinc is the one-a-day member of Bee Health’s propolis family — and the one with the strongest modern label. Each tablet delivers 500 mg of propolis alongside 500 mg of vitamin C and 5 mg of zinc, both of which contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Ninety tablets to the pack: a full season in one purchase.

Tradition, with numbers attached

Propolis is the resin honey bees collect from buds and bark — tree resin, essential oils, waxes and bioflavonoids combined into the hive’s own protective material, and one of nature’s richest bioflavonoid sources. What this tablet adds is regulatory spine: vitamin C and zinc carry authorised immune-function claims, and both arrive at meaningful doses — the vitamin C at 500 mg, the zinc at half the daily reference intake. Folk heritage in the front seat, modern nutrition riding shotgun.

The Bee Health guarantee

All bioflavonoids present are naturally occurring — no synthetic substitutes — and every batch is tested for potency and quality. In the propolis category, where sourcing varies wildly, that testing discipline is what separates the world’s best-selling propolis brand from the souvenir jars.

How to take it

One tablet daily with a drink — suitable for adults and children over 12. That single-tablet rhythm is the format’s quiet strength: no spoons, no timing, no re-dosing decisions; it slots beside the morning coffee and gets on with it. Not recommended for anyone with a tree-resin allergy; if pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication, check with a professional first. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet.

Choosing within the propolis shelf

This is the set-and-forget format. The Winter Mixture is the household spoonable; the throat spray travels; the 1000 mg capsules serve the propolis purists. The tablet’s case is coverage: propolis plus the two authorised immune nutrients, every day, one swallow, ninety days per pack.

Frequently asked questions

Why 90 tablets? Because immune-season routines run in months — one pack covers October through Christmas without a reorder.

Tablet or the capsules? Capsules are propolis-only at a higher dose; this tablet trades some propolis for the C-and-zinc partnership — pick by philosophy.

Any taste? Swallowed with a drink, barely — the resinous notes stay in the bottle formats.

The season strategy

Immune-season products divide into responders and maintainers, and this tablet is firmly the latter: its logic is the unbroken daily habit that starts before the season does, not the emergency purchase made mid-sniffle. The practical protocol writes itself — start the pack when the first grigal turns the harbour grey, one tablet with breakfast until the pack ends, and let the 90-count do the calendar work. Households that pair a maintainer (this) with a responder (the spray in the bag, the mixture by the kettle) walk into every Maltese winter with the whole propolis tradition deployed — tested, dosed, and costing less than one urgent pharmacy dash.

Over-12s only — why? The dosing is adolescent-and-adult scale; younger children’s supplements should be age-formulated and pharmacist-approved.

Reading the label the pharmacist’s way

The three numbers on this tin do real work. Five hundred milligrams of vitamin C is a substantial dose by any reference standard; five milligrams of zinc is a deliberate half-measure of the daily reference — sensible in a product likely to sit alongside a multivitamin; and 500 mg of propolis puts the hive ingredient at parity with the nutrients rather than as garnish. That proportioning is what a thought-through combination looks like, and it’s why the tablet audits well against whatever else your winter shelf already holds — check your multivitamin’s zinc line once, and the two coexist without arithmetic anxiety.
