Disproquima recently launched Flavoxale, a unique ingredient derived from the combination of an exclusive propolis extract (M.E.D. propolis), manuka honey and manuka essential.
Propolis is a resinous matrix that bees (Apis mellifera) collect from gems, exudates and plants, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture of many substances; among the most representative metabolites of propolis there are flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolic acids, phenolic esters and sugars in different proportions, that are responsible of the properties namely antioxidant, anti- inflammatory and antimicrobial.
M.E.D (Dynamic Multi Extraction) uses various concentrations of solvents during the whole production process thus extracting Polyphenols with different solubility and especially flavonoids, phenolic acids and glycosylated fractions. This specific fingerprint of Propolis is responsible for its high and well known antibacterial activity and thanks to this technology, our product is unique.
Manuka honey is a world reference for its exceptional antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-infective, anti- inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as having vitamins and minerals that will help us increase our energy naturally and boost our immune system. It also contains vitamins A, C, D, B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6, as well as minerals and trace elements, including calcium, copper, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur, manganese, iodine, sodium, and potassium.
Manuka essential oil is reach in terpenes (primary monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, methyl cinnamate and triketones) that can be considered responsible for its activity through activation of several pathways, whose results is the inhibition on inflammation induced by LPS.
The combination of those natural ingredients and M.E.D. technology creates Flavoxale: (FLAVOnoids from Propolis and Methyl GlyoXALE from Manuka) a high potent antibacterial product a water soluble, free flowing powder, ideal for formulation of both solid and liquid dosage forms as well as any kind of food products.
With documented and clinically proven functional activities such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing, Flavoxale offers an exotic chance to enrich the content and image of food and pharmaceutical products in an innovative way.
