Primary purpose: To investigate the effect of propolis, a food supplement product, on healing parameters in patients with COVID 19. Secondary purpose: To provide a new supportive treatment in Covid 19 treatment. In the present study to examine the effect of the use of propolis on healing parameters (laboratory and imaging) in patients with COVID 19; Propolis, which has antiviral properties, has also been used in humans in the COVID19 pandemic as of 2020. However, in these studies, an alcohol-soluble extract of propolis was used.
