WHY IS BEE POLLEN GOOD FOR ME?
Bee pollen, the food of the young bee, is almost 40% protein (in the form of over 30 amino acids) and is considered by many to be one of nature’s most completely nourishing foods. The alkaline food is packed not only with proteins
but with many enzymes, trace minerals and vitamins, including B-complex and folic acid. Bee pollen has been said to increase energy and stamina, increase muscle growth and definition, strengthen the immune system, provide antioxidant activity, enhance sexuality, and smooth wrinkles.
Please note that bee pollen may cause gastrointestinal irritation and allergic reactions. If you’re new to pollen, begin with ingesting only a small amount of pollen (about ¼ teaspoon) before enjoying this nutritious food in larger doses.
