Description

Bee pollen supplements are generally safe to consume. However, people with pollen
or bee sting allergies, pregnant or lactating women and people taking blood
thinners, such as warfarin, should avoid it.

Bee pollen is a mixture of flower pollen, nectar, enzymes, honey, wax and bee secretions

Foraging honey bees collect pollen from plants and transport it to the beehive, where it’s stored and used as food for the bee colony.

Bee pollen shouldn’t be confused with other bee products such as honey, royal jelly or honeycomb. These products may not contain pollen or may contain other substances.

Recently, bee pollen has gained traction in the health community because it’s loaded with nutrients, amino acids, vitamins, lipids and over 250 active substances.

In fact, the Federal Ministry of Health in Germany recognizes bee pollen as a medicine.

Many studies have examined the health effects of bee pollen and found promising results.

Bee pollen boasts an impressive nutritional profile.

It contains over 250 biologically active substances, including proteins, carbs, lipids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants.

Bee pollen granules consist of approximately:

• Carbs: 40%
• Protein: 35%
• Water: 4–10%
• Fats: 5%
• Other substances: 5–15%

The latter category includes vitamins, minerals, antibiotics and antioxidants.

Bee pollen contains a wide variety of antioxidants, which may protect your cells
from damage caused by free radicals that are linked to chronic diseases,
including cancer and type 2 diabetes.

Bee pollen may help lower heart disease risk factors such as “bad” LDL cholesterol
and lipid oxidation.

Animal studies suggest that bee pollen may boost liver function and protect this organ
from harmful substances. However, more high-quality human studies are needed.

According to animal and test-tube studies, bee pollen antioxidants may have powerful
anti-inflammatory properties.

Animal and test-tube studies show that bee pollen antioxidants may reduce the severity
and onset of allergies and kill several harmful bacteria.

Bee pollen has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may promote wound
healing. Its antimicrobial properties may also prevent wound infections.

Studies have shown that bee pollen may alleviate several menopausal discomforts,
including hot flashes. It may also improve cholesterol levels.

Animal studies have shown that bee pollen may enhance the absorption and utilization
of nutrients like iron, calcium and phosphorus. It may also speed up metabolism
and promote longevity, though human research is needed to confirm these
benefits.
