Jens Vagn Nielsen, M. Sc. (Pharmacy)

We are proud to have Jens Vagn Nielsen - a world authority in the field of bee propolis - as a member of NaturaNectar Scientific Advisory Board. Mr. Nielsen is a pharmacist born in Denmark who dedicated his life to the beehives. He spent over 25 years studying, lecturing and writing research internationally on the intriguing and extremely advanced colonies of the honeybees. In 1982 Mr. Nielsen acquired from another passionate for bee propolis, Sven Salomon, the company Salomon Propolis® and all its brand rights. With the acquisition Mr. Nielsen further developed the world's most advanced technology for the extraction of bee propolis (NaturaNectar's GREEN EXTRACTION) which has the ability to separate bee propolis in two fractions: a Flavonoids extract and a Phenolic Acids extract using water as a solvent. The process also eliminates nearly all impurities and beeswax. Today, Mr. Nielsen continues to be intrigued by the richness of bee propolis and convinced it is one of the most complete natural substances available to man. He has published 6 scitific papers including 2 clinical trials. In 1993 he publshed the in vitro study:

"Bactericidal Effect of Propolis in vitro against Agents Causing Upper Respiratory Tract Infections"  J. Focht, S. H. Ransen, J. V. Nielsen,  A. van den Berg-Segers, and R. Riezler. Bioscientia. Institute for Laboratory Medicine, Moers (Fed. Rep. of Germany), Danmarks Farmaceutiske Hojskole, Kobenhavn (Denmark), Salomon Propolis Aps., Stenloese (Denmark), and Ortho Pharma Science GmbH, Moers (Fed. Rep. of Germany).
