In this study, researchers at Hiroshima University in Japan investigated the mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory properties of Brazilian propolis. Their findings were published in the journal Nutrition Research.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that Brazilian propolis reduces inflammation via the regulation of Th17 differentiation and macrophage activation by cinnamic acid derivatives.
