A variety of propolis products are available with valid and safe fixed bioactive components. The antiviral activity of propolis components has been proven in vitro and in vivo.

Propolis is also helpful in treating a variety of dangerous underlying diseases in Corona disease, such as kidney disease, high blood pressure, cancer, and bacterial infections.
