Who is behind the Bee&You brand
The BEE&YOU brand was founded by Asli Samanci, a scientist and entrepreneur who decided to take action after her five-year-old son became repeatedly ill due to a weakened immune system. Asli's expertise in food engineering led her to develop an innovative method of propolis extraction, which she later patented.
After the success of her son's recovery, she decided to make this natural path available to other families. She was supported on her journey by long-time colleague Taylan Samanci and Professor Dilek Boyacioglu, which led to the founding of a company that is now changing the lives of thousands of people around the world.
The expertise of the co-founders is also the basis of the brand's success. Taylan Samanci, a long-time expert in apiculture and bee products, brought to the project experience in managing national and international projects. Prof. Dr. Dilek Boyacioglu, a renowned food engineering expert, has brought her scientific expertise and passion for innovation to the company.
Their collaboration has made it possible to translate scientific discoveries into natural products that help people live healthier lives

What is propolis and what are its benefits
Propolis is a natural resinous substance that bees collect from the buds, leaves and stems of plants. Due to its sticky consistency and antimicrobial properties, they use it to protect their hive from pathogens.
The bees cover the walls of the hive with a layer of propolis, sterilizing the cells of the honeycomb and creating an ideal environment for the queen to lay her eggs.
Propolis also serves as a natural preservative - it protects honey, royal jelly and pollen from microorganisms in the hive.
The name "propolis" comes from Greek and means "before the city", symbolizing its role as the first line of defense of the bee colony.
Propolis is a rich source of bioactive substances, especially flavonoids, phenolic acids and terpenes, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.
These compounds can help fight free radicals, support the immune system and protect the body from infections. Studies show that propolis can be effective in treating fungal infections such as athlete's foot, for example, and its regular use can contribute to respiratory, skin and oral health.
However, in order to allow the human body to use its full potential, raw propolis must be extracted using alcohol or other solvents, which increases its bioavailability and allows the release of the active ingredients.
BEE&YOU certification and quality
BEE&YOU places great emphasis on the quality and authenticity of its products, as evidenced by a strict four-stage inspection system. First, a preliminary analysis of raw material samples from contract beekeepers is carried out to ensure that they meet the required standards. The raw materials are then subjected to further testing in laboratories.
After processing on the production line, the semi-finished products are analysed before filling. Finished products, such as tablets, drops, sprays, syrups and cosmetic products, then undergo rigorous testing in laboratories right in our 10,700 m² production hall.
Finally, the products are independently tested by accredited laboratories and universities, ensuring their high quality. In the latest audit by the independent German organisation DQS CFS GmbH, the brand scored an impressive 98.06 points out of 100 in the IFS Food assessment and was awarded the prestigious BRC AA+ certificate.
BEE&YOU products are certified to local and international standards including GMP, BRC, IFS, SEDEX, ISO 9000, ISO 22000, ISO 14001, Kosher, Cosmos and Organic. These certifications cover food, dietary supplements and cosmetics. Thanks to these standards and rigorous quality management, the brand guarantees that each product not only delivers natural values, but also meets the highest safety and quality requirements.

The natural wealth of bee products and the uniqueness of Anatolian propolis
Ingredients used by BEE&YOU
BEE&YOU products are based on natural bee products that are known for their extraordinary health benefits.
Key ingredients include propolis, royal jelly, honey and pollen. Propolis is rich in phenolic compounds and flavonoids that support the immune system and have antioxidant and antimicrobial effects.
Royal jelly contains high amounts of protein, vitamins and essential amino acids, making it a nutritional treasure.
Apart from its delicious taste, honey brings energy to the body, supports digestion and has antibacterial properties.
Pollen is another valuable ingredient because it contains a wide range of vitamins, minerals and enzymes that contribute to overall health.
All products are fully traceable from the hive to the final packaging, guaranteeing not only high quality but also the purity and safety of the raw materials.
In addition, the use of patented extraction technology ensures that all the active ingredients from these natural ingredients are preserved to the best possible extent, bringing maximum health benefits to the consumer.
Why Anatolian propolis is unique
Anatolian propolis comes from the unspoiled mountain regions of Anatolia, which is one of the richest regions in the world with more than 12,000 species of plants.
Thanks to patented extraction technology, this propolis has an extremely high antioxidant content - up to 80 times more than pomegranate juice - and contains at least 15 different phenolic and flavonoid compounds such as caffeic acid, quercetin and resveratrol.
Regular consumption of this propolis extract at the recommended daily dose can boost immunity, fight oxidative stress and contribute to the health of the whole body.
Moreover, Anatolian propolis is collected from one of the cleanest and least polluted environments on Earth, ensuring its high quality and purity.
The unique composition of this propolis is the result of the biodiversity of the region, where bees obtain raw materials from a wide range of plants rich in active substances, which gives it exceptional nutritional and therapeutic properties.
