Herbalists often recommend bee pollen as it may provide health benefits and even cure certain health conditions such as alcoholism, asthma, allergies, and stomach disorders. It is also believed to enhance athletic performance, treat wounds, poor appetite, premenstrual syndrome and hot-flashes during menopause, and reduce chemotherapy side effects. It can be found at health food stores. Research doesn’t exactly confirm that bee pollen truly cures diseases but it does contain many healthful nutrients that should be a part of every diet such as antioxidants in vitamins and minerals and contains approximately 55% carbohydrates, 1-2% fat, and 30% protein.
Bee pollen comes from the pollen collected on the bee’s actual body. It can also be found in bee saliva. Bee pollen is not found in natural honey, honeycomb, bee venom or royal jelly.
Bee pollen appears to be safe, unless of course you suffer from pollen allergies. Always be sure to talk to your doctor before taking any natural supplement.
