Frequently asked questions
Is there a cure for cold sores or genital herpes?
There is not currently a cure for the virus which causes cold sores and genital sores. The virus lays inactive (dormant) in the body until it is reactivated. Some people experience outbreaks when they're run down (e.g. when they have a cold or are particularly stressed), when they're menstruating (menstruating women) or when they've experienced weather-related damage to their lips
While there's no cure, there are things that can help manage symptoms or support the body against outbreak triggers. We provide daily supplements for immune support and daily between-outbreak lip balms to support against weather-related dryness and cracking
Can I use Herstat if I am allergic to bees or bee products (e.g. honey)?
We recommend that you don't use Herstat if you are allergic to bee products such as honey or Royal Jelly, or if you are allergic to bees themselves. As Herstat contains propolis, it may result in an adverse reaction if you're allergic to bees or beehive products. That is why, in the instructions, we recommend you carry out a skin patch test before use. This means that if you are unsure if you are allergic to bee products, you should apply a small quantity of Herstat on the skin of your forearm and check for possible skin reactions.
The propolis used in Herstat is highly purified and fully tested so that the final product is free from impurities such as heavy metals, pesticides, and any other contamination. However, we advise that you still undertake a patch test before you begin using.
Where do you manufacture your products?
Our products are manufactured both locally and globally. We carefully select our manufacturing partners to ensure our products are high quality.
Our own propolis extract - PropolisACF® - is refined in Canada, using extracts sourced exclusively from a select area for purity and potency.
Is bee propolis suitable for Vegetarians or Vegans?
Propolis is derived from bees, so it cannot be considered Vegan.
