BEE POLLEN

A natural superfood to enhance your health!

Pollen, a most nutritious substance harvested by worker bees from flower anthers, can provide many health benefits due to its comprehensive nutritional profile. It contains more than 250 biologically active substances, including protein, free-form amino acids, enzymes, antioxidants, flavonoids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. This variety of nutrients makes bee pollen a superfood, as it contains nearly all the nutrients the human body requires to thrive!

Bee pollen is a mixture of flower pollen, nectar, enzymes, honey & wax.

One clinical study found rabbits who received bee pollen in addition to their regular diet had a much longer lifespan and more reproductive success. They gave birth to healthier, stronger babies than rabbits who did not use it.

Bee pollen, a substance used for centuries for nutritional and medicinal purposes, has stood the test of time and the scrutiny of modern research and clinical studies. Its historical significance is validated by its continued use in countries like Germany and China, where it is not just a supplement, but a recognized medicine often prescribed to support health and healing.

Scientists have shown bee pollen to be a natural anti-inflammatory, which blocks the activity of enzymes that cause acute and chronic inflammation. Animal studies show it to eliminate swelling by up to 75%.

Human research has shown that bee pollen is a powerful ally in the fight against allergies and infections. It effectively blocks the release of histamine, the main compound responsible for allergic reactions like hay fever. Moreover, it significantly enhances the immune system’s response to infection, has antibiotic activity against pathogens that may cause disease, improves wound healing, and even slows the growth of some cancers. With bee pollen, you can feel more secure about your body's ability to defend itself.

Research shows pollen boosts blood circulation to the brain, strengthens the nervous system, and relieves stress and depression, helping you feel calm and at ease.

Heart disease is a significant concern for many, but bee pollen offers hope. It has been shown to lower known risk factors like blood lipids and bad cholesterol while increasing good HDL cholesterol. With bee pollen, you can take proactive steps to protect your heart and reduce your risk of the leading cause of death worldwide.

In animal studies, pollen improves liver function and significantly promotes liver healing.

Studies have shown that pollen eases menopause symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, and irregular sleep for many women.

Evidence suggests pollen enhances the absorption and utilization of nutrients from our diet, while more animal studies suggest pollen improves muscle growth, speeds up the metabolism, and promotes longevity.

Add bee pollen to food or smoothies or eat it straight. Pollen is a powerful substance and may upset your stomach or cause allergic reactions for first-time users, so always start with just a few granules till your body adjusts to its use, and then slowly increase the dosage. The body quickly adapts to pollen use for most, but for an exceedingly small number of people, it may cause symptoms such as itching, swelling, shortness of breath, or anaphylaxis.
