How can brands add propolis to the ingredient list of products?

Many people have made a habit of taking an immunity dose in the morning that includes consuming propolis, turmeric, lemon, and other specific ingredients. It is also very common to find propolis extracts for sale in several places, such as supermarkets and drug stores.

Something difficult to find, especially in smaller cities, is propolis inserted in products that are already part of consumers’ daily lives. This is a little-explored market that has everything to be successful.

The food industry can add dehydrated propolis powder to various products. Besides maintaining its original in-natura properties, it guarantees the consolidation and expansion of the brand in the market, since this ingredient is highly sought after by consumers.
