TECHNICAL INFORMATION

 

The Mikania glomerata, popularly known as guaco is original of South America, being found in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and in Brazil, especially in the South areas and Southeast. The plant develops as a creeper and it is born in the forests and in the meadow, adapting very well to the domestic cultivation. Its dry leafs presents strong balsamic scent.

The guaco presents in your composition tannins, saponines, resins, cumarins, guacosideo, guacina (substance makes bitter) and essential oil (contains di and sesquiterpens). This group of compositions gives the plant expectorant action, bronchus dilator action, anti asthmatic, anti cough, febrifuge, diuretic, tonic, emollient, depurative and healing. The guaco facilitates the fluidifying of the exudate trachea bronchi so that it can be more easily expelled by the reflex of the cough. It acts relaxing the flat musculature of the aerial roads, mainly bronchi and make appreciable sudorific effect, wanted in the feverish cases.

Uniflora produces the guaco extract used. Many analyses are made in our own laboratories, properly equipped, to guarantee the obtaining of a product with high quality.

The propolis is a resinous and balsamic substance, it has some coloration and several consistencies, varying to brown color to dark green. It is produced by the bees from leave sprouts and resinous exudates of plants, and used inside the beehive " to fix " honey-comb, to lacquer the alveoli, to close breaches for the reduction of cold wind entrance, and, mainly, to protect of the natural enemies: fungus and bacteria. It is also be used to embalm small animals killed by the bees inside the beehive, which could not be getting out, avoiding in this way their putrefaction.

The chemical composition of the propolis depends on the botanical ecology of each area and by the bee race, but generally, it is compose of 50% of resin and balm, 30% of wax, 10% of essential and aromatic oils, 5% of pollen and 5% of several other substances. Until the moment they were already more than 200 chemical compounds identified in the propolis, like the flavonoids, aromatic acids, terpenoids, aldehydes, alcohols, aliphatic acid and esters, amino acids, steroids, sugar, etc. The intense studies on propolis reveal that these compounds are for its several physiologic actions: anti-microbe (it works as a natural antibiotic), anti-inflammatory, healing, anesthetic and antioxidant (it combats the free radicals).

The quality of the propolis extract is controlled through the following parameters: dosage of flavonoids contents (through analysis in spectrophotometer), Brix degree, dry residue percentage, alcoholic graduation and density. Our microbiology laboratory has a standard methodology to test the anti microbes activity of the used propolis, with the objective to control and to check the antibiotic power of the final product.

The honey is produced by bees from the nectar of the flowers. It is a rich food, which presents in its composition simple sugars with fast assimilation on the organism, mineral salts (potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, etc.), amino acids, enzymes and vitamins.
