The health benefits of bee
pollen have led to it being called "the perfect food." These
seemingly magical granules are rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes
and antioxidants. Especially fresh, organic bee pollen, eaten raw or
taken in the form of bee pollen tablets, is said to help lower
cholesterol, enhance the immune system and even assist the skin in
healing. Many people take bee pollen for allergies, and it is also
believed to benefit longevity

Nearly everyone knows about
honey, but not everyone knows about bee pollen benefits. What are
the benefits of bee pollen?
* Potent antioxidants *
Prevents allergies * Heals prostate problems * Boosts men's sex life
* Makes exercise easy
Let all-natural bee pollen
benefits enhance your health. Make bee pollen an amino acid rich
addition to your family's healing tools.
What Are the Health
Benefits of Bee Pollen?
Who could know the health
benefits of bee pollen better than a bee? When bees help themselves
to nectar so they can make honey, they coat their legs with pollen.
This bee pollen is collected for the colony's principal protein food
when they return to the hive.
One of the most important
bee pollen facts is that it is rich in antioxidants.
The antioxidants in bee
pollen are compounds chemists call flavonoids. Bee pollen packs the
punch of myricetin, quercetin, rutin, and trans-cinnamic acid. You
don't need to remember their names, but take a look at what they can
do for you.
Myricetin helps white blood
cells soak up the "bad" LDL cholesterol out of the bloodstream.
Quercetin is a natural antihistamine-the right kind of pollen can be
beneficial for your allergies! Rutin is best known as the remedy for
varicose veins. Rutin protects veins throughout the body and may
help prevent cancer as well. Your body uses trans-cinnamic acid to
make its own antibiotics, and this potent nutrient also powers the
detoxifying processes of the liver.
Another key bee pollen fact
is that it is a source of complete nutrition. Bee pollen is richer
in protein than any flesh-based food. Gram for gram, bee pollen
supplements contain more amino acids than fish, beef, or eggs.
What else is in bee pollen?
This nutritional supplement contains:
* Enzymes * Coenzymes * 18
amino acids * DNA and RNA * Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, E,
and K * Folic acid * Niacin * Pantothenic acid * Choline * Inositol
* Iron * And Zinc.
One of the most interesting
bee pollen facts is that the whole of the pollen is greater than its
nutritional parts. Insect scientists conducted an experiment in
which they took away bee pollen and replaced it with a synthetic
mix. This "bee chow" contained every known nutrient in their food.
First the bees first failed
to thrive. Then they failed to survive. Nothing artificial can
substitute for natural bee pollen.
Bees add some "unknown
extra" of their own to bee pollen. This may be the reason bee pollen
is so useful in treating a variety of human health conditions.
Sneeze no more!
Bee pollen products treat
allergies. Doctors have prescribed pollen for over a hundred years.
Bee pollen injections desensitize pollen sufferers. Allergists use
"allergy shots" to stop hay fever, hives, rashes, and asthma.
Doctors developed this
method at St. Mary's Hospital in London about 1903. In the original
method, the nurse gives an injection of pollen and water once a week
for several months. The first injection may be 1 part pollen in
100,000 parts of water. The last injection may be 1 part pollen in
10 parts of water.
These potentially painful
shots teach the immune system not to respond to pollen. They reduce
the immune system's power. They keep it from becoming
"hypersensitive" to harmless plants.
But when bee pollen is taken
as a nutritional supplement rather than as an injection, the
allergies still go away. The difference is the immune system is
stronger, not weaker.
Dr. Lee Conway of Denver,
Colorado in the USA treats his allergy patients with bee pollen. All
his patients who take bee pollen every day remain free from all
allergy symptoms. They don't get new allergies when they move to new
places. They stay allergy-free.
"Half the Pain, Twice the
Pleasure." That's how a German publication for physicians described
bee pollen benefits for men with prostate problems. Over 20
scientific studies have found that bee pollen supports men's sexual
health.
How? Chronic prostate
problems result from the accumulation of free radicals of oxygen in
the seminal fluid. Free radicals of oxygen cause a "burn" at the
cellular level. Bee pollen puts out the fire.
The benefit of sexual
activity without burning, dribbling, swollen sensation is clear. But
what about bee pollen and male fertility?
The most comprehensive
research in this area comes from China. Researchers first found that
chronic prostate inflammation and male infertility both result from
the accumulation of free radicals of oxygen. They then set about
finding which product stops the production of free radicals.
Their answer? Bee pollen.
The very best relief for infectious prostate inflammation was a
combination of conventional medication and bee pollen. Bee pollen
all by itself was 80 percent as effective as antibiotics. Bee pollen
was free of side effects. It cost a lot less.
The key bee pollen benefit
was to increase fertility. Sperm swam faster and lasted longer. They
were more motile and viable.
How did bee pollen
accomplish this? The answer is zinc. Bee pollen delivers a unique
combination of zinc and antioxidants. It maximizes the effectiveness
of this mineral for men's sexual health.
Bee Pollen is for Women
Too
Twenty years ago American
researchers discovered that bee pollen might treat women's cancers.
Their government sponsors quickly covered up their findings. Doctors
in Austria heard about them anyway.
Dr. Peter Hernuss and his
team set out to help twenty-five women suffering from inoperable
uterine cancer. They couldn't remove the cancer, so the doctors gave
the women chemotherapy. Half the women also received bee pollen.
Even under the worst possible medical conditions, bee pollen
benefits were clear.
The fortunate women who took
bee pollen with their food quickly acquired an immune system boost.
Their labs showed:
* Increased antibody
production * More red blood cells * More hemoglobin * And a higher
concentration of cancer-fighting natural killer (NK) cells.
Taking bee pollen with food
lessened the terrible nausea that goes along with chemotherapy.
Simply put, the complete nutrition in bee pollen prevented
starvation. Bee pollen prevented the loss of muscle tissue.
Bee pollen benefits even
included keeping hair loss to a minimum. Without bee pollen, there
was no comparable benefit.
How Do You Use Bee
Pollen?
Take two bee pollen tablets
once or twice daily with meals, or as recommended by your health
care professional. Scientists have found that bee pollen retains its
antioxidant potency for up to three years during storage under
household conditions.
Caution: Bee pollen side
effects are very rare, but they are possible in sensitive
individuals. There has been one case in which a person who had
severe reactions to mold had a severe reaction to bee pollen This
product had been improperly stored in heat and damp. It contained
mold.
Bee pollen is not
recommended for women who are or who may become pregnant.
Discontinue and consult with your healthcare provider if you
experience adverse reactions. Bee pollen reactions are unheard of in
comprehensive supplements of which bee pollen is only one part.
