Why BEE&YOU?

Who we are?

Woman Entrepreneur and Food Scientist Dr Asli Samanci needed to find a solution to her son’s weakened immune system. A Pediatrician recommended that she try giving her son propolis.

Based on this experience, she founded BEE&YOU to help those who want to support their immune system naturally.

What is Anatolian Bee Propolis?

Propolis is a natural bee product that honeybees collect from the leaves, buds and stems of the plants. Honeybees use propolis to protect their beehive from fungus, bacteria, and viruses. It acts as a natural protective barrier. We source our propolis from pristine Anatolian mountains which is home to 12,000 different plant species and one of the most biodiverse regions in the world. BEE&YOU has a patented extraction technology which enables us to extract all biologically active compounds (phenolics, flavonoids, minerals, vitamins, enzymes) of propolis to make bioavailable for our body. Mainly 2 things completely differ our propolis quality from any other propolis on the market; the region where we source our propolis (Anatolian region rich in 12,000 different plant species) and our patented extraction technology. Our propolis has minimum x3 more of phenolic, flavonoid and antioxidant content than any other propolis and Manuka Honey on the market. Our propolis has at least 80 times greater antioxidant content than pomegranate juice! Anatolian propolis extract contains minimum 15 different phenolic and flavonoid compounds and each of them has different health benefits!
