When should you take these propolis, honey, and ravintsara lozenges?
Propolia Organic Propolis, Honey & Ravintsara Gum are certified organic lozenges made in France. They combine 37% French honey, 3% purified European propolis extract, ravintsara and peppermint essential oils, acacia gum, and agave syrup. Six lozenges provide 2,214 mg of honey and 180 mg of propolis extract.
These are gummies to keep in your pocket for a soothing treat for your throat; let them melt slowly without chewing.
Their fresh, aromatic flavor comes from ravintsara and peppermint, combined with honey.
Adults should take 5 to 6 lozenges per day, and children ages 6 and up should take 3 lozenges per day, for no longer than one month. They contain no added sugars other than honey and agave syrup, and are naturally gluten-free.
During times when your nose and throat feel congested, nasal hygiene complements this treatment. For this, we recommend the Physiomer Hypertonic Stuffy Nose Spray, made with seawater, which contains no essential oils and therefore does not interact with those in the lozenges.

Our expert advice on Propolia Ravintsara gum
Propolia gum raises only one real concern before first use: an allergy to bee products. Anyone allergic to pollen should exercise caution, as propolis may trigger a cross-reaction. The second precaution concerns essential oils: children or adults with epilepsy should not take them.
These gummies provide relief for temporary throat discomfort. They are not a substitute for seeing a doctor if your throat is really sore, if you have a fever, or if the discomfort persists: strep throat requires a diagnosis.
FAQ
Are Propolia Honey & Ravintsara gummies suitable for children?
Yes, for children ages 6 and up, at a dose of 3 gummies per day. They are not recommended for children under 6 or for children with epilepsy or a history of seizures, due to the essential oils.
Can you chew the Propolia Honey & Ravintsara gummies?
They are designed to be sucked slowly. It is the duration of contact with the throat that makes the gum effective.
What is the difference between Propolia Ravintsara gum and Propolia Natural Honey gum?
The Ravintsara gum contains ravintsara and peppermint essential oils, which give it a fresh flavor but require additional precautions (epilepsy, minimum age of 6 years).
