Bee Pollen Grains

Bee pollen consists of tiny floral sperm grains required for the fertilization of the female plant that are collected by worker bees from male flowers. The sperm cells contained in bee pollen granules are protected by a hard shell so they can be safely transported among flowers by honey bees.

All flowering plants, including most agricultural trees and crops, release pollen from their male flowers. This pollen is transferred by bees, wind and other methods to fertilize the female plant reproductive organs and create fruit. When bees land on flowers to gather nectar, they accumulate pollen on their body which eventually becomes bee pollen granules that they use to feed young bees.

The benefits of bee pollen as a food are that it contains nearly all of the enzymes and coenzymes that human bodies require in quantities greater than just about any other food and in an appropriate balance. Bee pollen’s nutrients assist in healing and digestion, and reports indicate they support a healthy, cancer-free life, in addition to a youthful appearance and increased metabolism.

The recommended bee pollen dosage of our bee pollen powder supplement is one teaspoon, twice daily. To avoid bee pollen side effects such as allergic reactions, try smaller dosages first.
