Most importantly, bee propolis contains powerful antibacterial properties which are capable of destroying strains that have become resistant to conventional antibiotics.

Could it be the natural antibiotic of the future?


What is Bee Propolis?
Bee propolis is a sticky resin that seeps from the buds of some trees and oozes from the bark of other trees, chiefly conifers. The bees gather propolis sometimes called bee glue, and carry it home. Propolis is used to line the interior of brood cells in preparation for the queen’s laying of eggs. With its antiseptic properties, this propolis lining ensures and almost sterile environment for the brood, interestingly much more sterile than our hospitals.



Properties of Bee Propolis
Bee propolis research shows it offers antiseptic, antibiotic, antibacterial, antifungal, and even antiviral properties both in vitro and in vivo. Propolis is a complex system in nature. It is so powerful in action, it is often called Russian penicillin in acknowledgement of the extensive research the Russians have mounted on this wonder worker from the bees. Propolis has shown powerful antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Even streptococcus bacteria have been shown to be sensitive to propolis. With MRSA and "super-bugs" in the news regularly, Bee propolis with its multi-pronged effect relieving infection is seeing increased exposure in the media.

Bee propolis is now considered a significant part of dietetics and a natural treatment by the World Health Organization. Propolis is rich in bioflavonoids (naturally occuring antioxidants with anti-cancer properties). High in B-complex vitamins, propolis contains prominent quantities of vitamin C, E and Provitamin A. It also contains minerals and trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, silica, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, cobalt and copper.

Nui Virgin Coconut Oil


Not all oils are created equal

Coconut oil used to be known as an ordinary oil, just like the others. However, things changed when coconut oil was found to contain a special group of fats found in human breast milk. What's more, coconut oil is the only substance in nature to contain rich amount of that - Lauric Acid.

With this property, Virgin Coconut Oil ease digestive problems, raises body metabolism and improves immune system and can be used to fight against bacterial, viral and fungal infections.

"Never before in the history of man is it so important to emphasize the value of lauric oils. This medium-chain fats in coconut oil are similar to fats in mother's milk, and have SIMILAR nutriceutical effects." Jon J. Kabara, Ph.D (Professor Emeritus, Michigan State University) said this about lauric oils.





































Why is Virgin Coconut Oil known as the oil that promotes weight loss?
The medium chain fatty acids do not circulate in bloodstream like other fats, but sent directly to the liver and converted to energy (thus creating thermogenesis effects), increasing body metabolism and raising body immunity. Therefore, it is excellent for individuals who are overweight or find it hard to lose weight.


When do you need Nui Virgin Coconut Oil?
* Lack of energy
* Overweight or high fat in body
* High cholesterol
* Eczema
* Dry skin
* Weak immunity
* Candida infection
* Diabetes
* Viral, bacterial, fungal, yeast or parasite infections (e.g. athlete foot, thrush, food poisoning etc)
* Premature aging and wrinkle
* Poor scalp health condition or hair loss
* Pregnant and nursing

Direction for use
Infants (0-12 mths): 1/4 tsp, twice daily
Children (1-3 yrs): 1 tsp, twice daily, after meal
Children (4-12 yrs): 2 tsp, twice daily, after meal
Adult: 1-2 tbsp, twice daily, after meal

Storage
Nui Virgin Coconut Oil is stable and does not require refrigeration. Once open, use within 3 months.

Is Nui Virgin Coconut Oil suitable for infant and children?
Yes. Nui Virgin Coconut Oil is excellent for infant and children. It contains 48% lauric acid (best known as the main component in mother's milk) that helps to buld up immune system. Lauric acid is anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal which protects infant and children from common infections and ilnesses. Nui Virgin Coconut Oil is also recommended for pregnant and lactating mothers to build up immune system and to enhance the quality of milk.

For example, active Manuka honey with UMF is about twice as effective as other honey against Eschericihia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, the most common causes of infected wounds. Manuka Honey UMF 20 or higher is not recommended because of reports that it can cause sensitivity in the form of a burning or stinging sensation.
