Bee Pollen

Country of Origin: Australia (WA)

Our pollen is kept refrigerated.

Bee Pollen is gathered from pollen laden bees with a special device placed at the entrance of the hive designed to brush the pollen from their hind legs.

Bee Pollen is very rich in vitamins and contains minerals, trace elements, enzymes, anti-oxidants and amino acids. It contains the essence of every plant from which bees collect pollen.

Bee pollen is a popular nutritional supplement that assists in general immune system function, may reduce allergies due to it's histamine content (however see caution note below), is alkalizing to the body, an aphrodisiac and provides stength, indurance and energy.

It contains protein (said to be complete, meaning it contains all essential amino acids), carbohydrate, fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. It is high in B vitamins (except B12) and other vitamins such as A, C, D, and E. It also contains lecithin/choline, beta-carotene, histamine and rutin.

For medicinal uses, it is recommended for children aged 5 years to adults - take 1 tablespoon daily or more.

CAUTION: It is recommended to start off with 1/4 of a teaspoon and work your way up if you suspect any allergic reaction to bee products or gastrointestinal upsets.
