Herbal Mate TeaDiscover the Amazing Health Benefits of Bee Pollen

Benefits of Bee Pollen

The benefits of Bee Pollen have been written about for thousands of years in ancient medical texts.

Although it may be hard to believe, Bee Pollen has all of the nutrients needed to sustain life. In fact, studies have shown that generations of mice have been born and lived on bee pollen exclusively, with no signs of malnourishment.

Bee Pollen Facts: Benefits of Bee Pollen

Bee Pollen has high concentrations of the B vitamin complex, and also contains Vitamins A, C, D, and E.

Its composition is: approximately 35% protein, 55% carbohydrates, 2% fatty acids, and 3% minerals and vitamins.

Because of its B vitamin complex, bee pollen is often taken for increasing energy and vitality.

Bee Pollen is also used to bolster immune function, and for detoxifying the body. There have also been a number of clinical trials with respect to its promising ability to ward off cancerous tumors in mice.

Athletes often use bee pollen for endurance, strength, stamina, and mental clarity.

There have also been some studies that show it may help in alleviating allergies.

Lastly, bee pollen is taken as a fat loss supplement. It contains a substance called lecithin that flushes fat from the body and stimulates the metabolism to burn calories more quickly.

Precautions and other Bee Pollen Facts

Although there are many benefits of Bee Pollen, those who are allergic to bees should avoid bee pollen (and other bee products).

Nutritional-Supplement-Info's opinion

Much of the benefits of bee pollen are little more than anecdotal. At the same time, however, there are numerous studies and clinical trials (mostly conducted in Europe) that strongly suggest many of the above benefits of bee pollen.

It seems to one of those supplements that is half grounded in myth and half in reality.

Bee Pollen Facts to Consider:

1. A great deal of the Bee Pollen sold in the U.S. is imported from China, where there is little to no quality control, regulations, and harvested from tainted environments. Some random testing has shown these products often to be contaminated.

To avoid these problems, purchase your Bee Pollen from a pristine source that produces the product in GMP compliant facilities, which follow tight regulatory guidelines.

2. Purchase freeze dried Bee Pollen, which prevents the substance from becoming oxidized, and leads to degradation. Avoid heat dried or processed bee pollen, which destroys the nutrients and important enzymes.

Our verdict? Bee Pollen is a great supplement, which is why we personally take it.
