About Bee Pollen
Bee Pollen is one the most unique, powerful and complete superfoods. It is the most nutritious natural substance to be found on the face of our planet. Bee Pollen is a treasure trove of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and other nutrients, the widest range to be found anywhere in nature.
Bee Pollen is the flower pollen that is collected by honeybees when they land on flowers to collect nectar. Bees instinctively search for the best quality pollen. They bind it with enzymes in their pollen sacks and bring it back to the bee hive in tiny pouches on the back of their legs. These fine golden pellets are collected from the bees' legs using a small mesh placed by beekeepers at the entrance to the hive. Beebread is flower pollen that has been mixed with flower nectar and bee secretions. Bee Pollen granules consist of a mixture of natural flower pollen mixed with beebread. The resulting nutrient-rich pollen mixture is granular, but is softened by natural processes making the nutrients up to seven times easier to assimilate. Raw Bee Pollen is superior to processed pollen, that you may find in capsules, as processing can break down the ‘goodness’.

Bee Pollen contains:
All the essential amino acids A full spectrum of vitamins especially vitamins B12 and E; and significant amounts of B1, B2, B3, B5, C, and vitamin D Various minerals including calcium, manganese, phosphorous, iron, sodium, potassium, aluminium, magnesium and copper Trace elements and enzymes (including antioxidants), and co-enzymes, pigments, xanthophylls, carotenes, and sterols, phytosterols, lignans (dibenzyl butanes) isoflavones and flavonoids Hormone precursors (which stimulate hormone production and help anti-ageing) Carbohydrates and fatty acids

Bee Pollen is made up of 5-25% amino acids, up to 40% carbohydrates, 5% fatty oils and up to 35% protein. Beebread is also very rich in flavonoids and phytoeostrogens, containing more essential amino acids than meat, eggs or cheese. This is why bee pollen is such a valuable supplement to the diet, because it supplies many of the dietary antioxidants, bioflavonoids and polyphenols that we are missing by not eating our recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables. Bee Pollen is a low-calorie food. It contains approximately ninety calories per 25g (about two heaped tablespoons). Bee Pollen contains 15% lecithin by volume. Lecithin helps dissolve and flush fat from the body. So Bee Pollen can lower low-density lipoproteins (LDL) while helping to increase the helpful high-density lipoproteins (HDL), which science says protect against cholesterol and heart disease.

Bee Pollen is especially excellent for anti-ageing. As we age, cell renewal is hindered and vitamins and minerals are needed to replace cells. Bee Pollen provides all the nutrients our bodies need to keep skin young, smooth and free of wrinkles, slowing down the aging process. Bee Pollen is also an excellent energy source and is used by many athletes as a dietary supplement to improve performance naturally without any side effects. As Bee Pollen has the full-spectrum of blood building and rejuvenating properties it is also particularly beneficial for people recuperating from illness and is generally recommended for strengthening the immune system.

Bee Pollen can be eaten raw simply as it is, as a nutritious and healthy snack, or you can try sprinkling it on cereal, muesli, porridge, cereal or yoghurt, stirring it into warm drinks or blending it into smoothies and desserts. There are no set dosages with superfoods but we find that 5-10g a day works well (a heaped tablespoon).

Please Note: Some people may be allergic to Bee Pollen, and it can cause allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to it.
