Propolis-Cinnamon Gum Propolia

01 · WHAT IS IN IT

Purified propolis, xylitol and cinnamon

According to the maker, each piece carries 5.7 % purified European propolis extract and 28 % xylitol, with sorbitol and maltitol syrup as sweeteners, synthetic gum base, cinnamon essential oil and natural flavourings. No sugars, no gluten; may contain traces of soya. The label of the batch you receive overrides this page.

02 · HOW TO TAKE IT

One or two after meals, three a day at most

The maker indicates one or two pieces after meals, chewed for at least twenty minutes, and no more than three a day or prolonged use, because of the cinnamon. Not for anyone allergic to hive products or cinnamon, nor in pregnancy, breastfeeding or under six years old. Like any product with polyols, in excess it can have a laxative effect. It is a food, not a treatment: it does not replace dental hygiene or health care.

03 · WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Short-lived flavour and a pocket box

A Spanish review finds it good but short on flavour, like any sugar-free gum; the Portuguese one calls it tasty. The box fits in a pocket: dry and away from heat.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

One box of 25 pieces is supplied; from the same house, the mint gum and the propolis and orange gummies.
