Propolis Research Centre

The Propolis Research Centre is a specialized research and development organization dedicated to the scientific validation and standardization of propolis-based therapeutics. Based in Slovenia and operating as the R&D arm of Medex, the center focuses on bridging the gap between traditional apitherapy and modern evidence-based medicine through rigorous clinical trials and chemical characterization. Their primary expertise lies in developing standardized extracts, such as Propolis PWE (water-based) and Propolis EE (ethanol-based), which are utilized for treating respiratory infections, inflammation, and immune deficiencies. By employing advanced analytical techniques like LC-MS, the center ensures that bee-derived bioactives meet pharmaceutical-grade consistency and safety standards. Their research portfolio includes extensive collaborations with clinical institutions to validate the efficacy of propolis in human health applications.
