Propolis Extract Replacement

Based on your original formula using Propolis Extract (30% Flavonoids) at 0.8%, the concentration of flavonoids in your formula is 0.8% * 30% = 0.24%.

We have found two potential Propolis Extract products:

• Propolis Extract (Liquid, Water-Soluble)
• Propolis Extract (Liquid, Water-Soluble, High Flavonoids)

The standard Propolis Extract (Liquid, Water-Soluble) does not specify its flavonoid content, so we cannot calculate the exact amount needed to match your original formula's flavonoid concentration.

The Propolis Extract (Liquid, Water-Soluble, High Flavonoids) is stated to have a flavonoid content of > 0.5%. This concentration is significantly lower than the 30% in your original extract. To achieve the same 0.24% flavonoid concentration in your formula using this high flavonoid extract (assuming the minimum 0.5% content), you would theoretically need to use (0.24% / 0.5%) * 100% = 48% of this extract. This is far beyond its recommended usage rate of 0.5-5%.

Therefore, based on the available information, neither of these products can be used at a calculated percentage within their recommended usage rates (0.5-5%) to achieve the exact same 0.24% flavonoid concentration as your original formula.

You can use Propolis Extract (Liquid, Water-Soluble, High Flavonoids) at its recommended usage rate (0.5-5%) to gain the general benefits of propolis, but it will not provide the same level of flavonoid concentration as your original extract.
