Bee Propolis - help needed

I was just looking at the Royal Jelly thread and I was trying to find a link to the Bee Propolis that everyone has purchased but I can't find anything. I have already purchased the RJ/BP that everyone recommended on that thread from Vitamin Shoppe but I can't figure out which propolis to buy.

Thanks for you help!! I just got the RJ/BP today so I am so excited to get started on this stuff!

I would try this one:
Propolis Ultra Mega Strength by YS Royal Jelly/Honey Bee - VitaminShoppe.com

From what I've read, the propolis helps with mild endometriosis. If you don't have that issue, I would probaby just focus on the RJ/BP.

FYI...another "lurker" PM'd me and told me she got her BFP after taking the RJ/BP for two months! Best of luck to you!

The Royal Jelly in Bee Pollen that I bought had Propolis in it already. Maybe there is some sort of pill form of Propolis from the Vitamin Shoppe. Good luck!

Oh wow that is awesome!! I have looked at so many siggies on that thread and it seemed like a huge percentage of people got their BFP's after taking the RJ/BP!!! I am so excited about it!

I have not been diagnosed with any endo so I guess I can skip that! Thanks for your advice!!!

I just looked at my bottle and I didn't see Propolis in it. I did see some that was in liquid form though. Since I don't have endo I most likely will not take it. Thanks for responding though!
