One of the most exciting recent findings on propolis is its efficacy in cancer prevention and treatment.

Clinical studies have shown that Propolis reduces the size of tumors and prevents the development of cancerous cells. Propolis inhibits cancer cell growth by increasing the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death, the process our body uses to get rid of old, useless cells).

This particular property of propolis is connected to its strong antioxidant capability and the activity of the compound CAPE.

Several new studies into the potential benefits of propolis in treating/inhibiting certain types of cancer are underway and the projected outcomes look very promising.

Propolis can also significantly decrease the heart toxicity of doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic agent used in cancer treatment and therapy.
