Solgar Bee Pollen
Bee Pollen has a long history of use as an energizing and rejuvenating tonic. It is considered a complete food, highly concentrated with nearly all the essential nutrients that our bodies require to function optimally.
Bee pollen is harvested by the bees themselves. This magic, golden dust is the male seed at the centre of innumerable varieties of flowers.
Bee Pollen provides us with 40% protein, of which half is in the form of free amino acids, making it a super bio available source of protein. Not only is it the richest source of protein from any plant or animal, relative to weight, but it also contains vitamins, including the B Complex.
Bee Pollen can be used in the case of known nutrient deficiency. It is also taken to encourage athletic performance, support the immune system during chronic disease, colds, and flu, to build blood cells, reduce cravings and addictions, and as an effective antibiotic against bacterial infections such as salmonella. It is said to help prevent the progression of developmental problems in children, and have anti carcinogenic properties.
Bee Pollen has a positive effect on intestinal health, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and can be taken to reduce allergy related symptoms.
Note: Do not give to babies under 18 months of age.
