Propolis isn't a single ingredient — it's a category that varies dramatically by geographic source. Korean propolis (collected from Korean poplar resin) and Brazilian green propolis are flavonoid-rich and built around CAPE (caffeic acid phenethyl ester); European propolis is poplar-resin-based with a different antioxidant profile.
