Since the earliest times, the bee has fascinated man with its examples of industry and organisation, producing the bountiful gift of pollen.
Bee Pollen is the male fertilising component of plant reproduction. Bees gather and bring it back to their hives for food. Without pollen, plants, trees and flowers could not exist; even we depend on it.
Bee pollen provides a wide spectrum of essential nutrients, which are all required by the human body. These include all the vitamins of the B-complex and to maintain perfect health, vitamin C. Since these are water soluble, they should be taken daily. Bee pollen also contains vitamins D, E, K, and beta-carotene (vitamin A). It is a rich source of numerous minerals, (with calcium and phosphorous in an almost perfect one-to-one ratio), enzymes and co-enzymes, plant-source fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins and 22 amino acids - including all eight 'essential' amino acids which the body cannot manufacture for itself. Bee pollen contains more nutrients per calorie than any other nutritional supplement and so it is little wonder that it is cited as one of the most complete foods available. In fact, the human body could survive on bee pollen alone, with just the addition of fibre and water.
The nutrients in bee pollen are readily digestible and easily absorbed by the human body. Many people obtain benefit, including athletes who take it for stamina and energy and to help them maintain good health. The International Olympic Committee does not currently include bee pollen on its list of banned substances meaning it is a compliant supplement for athletes.
So to sum up the reasons why bee pollen is so perfect for us:
It boosts energy and stamina
It assists in maintaining a healthy circulatory, digestive, immune and nervous system
It contains more nutrients per calorie than any other nutritional supplement
It is a multi-vitamin and multi-mineral supplement
It is a naturally high source of zinc and vitamin B6
It contains many trace elements including vitamins, minerals and amino acids
It promotes healthy digestion
All of this makes bee pollen one of the most complete natural nutritional supplements around.
