One of the most significant properties of Bee Pollen is the rich antioxidant content, the compounds chemists call flavonoids. Bee pollen contains myricetin, quercetin, rutin, and trans-cinnamic acid. What they can do for you is impressive! Myricetin helps white blood cells neutralize the undesirable LDL cholesterol from our bloodstream. Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant being studied for possible protection against cancer cells and said to also be a natural antihistamine. Rutin is best known as the remedy for varicose veins, and it protects veins throughout the body. Trans-cinnamic acid is used by our body to make its own antibiotics, and this potent nutrient also powers the detoxifying processes of our liver. Bee pollen is a potent source of energy containing 18 amino acids, RNA and DNA, Vitamins A, B1, B2, niacin, B6 and B12, pantothenic acid, folic acid, C, D, E and K, choline, Inositol, several enzymes, coenzymes, minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc, and many other nutritional factors. How’s that for power from a natural substance found in nature!
Bee Pollen contains all of the nutrients you need to live. Studies on mice exclusively fed bee pollen and nothing else, did not show any signs of malnourishment. It contains an incredible array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, co-enzymes, hormones and is especially rich in B vitamins and antioxidants, including lycopene, selenium, beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, and several flavonoids. This makes bee pollen one of the most nutritionally complete natural substances found on earth. In fact, it’s said to be richer in protein than any flesh-based food. Gram for gram, bee pollen supplements contain more amino acids than fish, beef or eggs! Powerful antioxidants, allergy prevention and help with reproductive system conditions are but a few of bee pollen’s reported benefits. While any bee pollen may be helpful, Forever Living’s Bee Pollen is collected from bees that harvest from wildflowers in the remote desert areas of America’s Sonora Desert to provide optimum purity and freshness.
When bee pollen is taken as a nutritional supplement, allergies are reported to go away. Dr Lee Conway of Denver, Colorado, treats his allergy patients with bee pollen and said that all of his patients who take it daily, remain free from allergy symptoms.
Healthy Prostate: Bee Pollen is also very beneficial for any reproductive challenge in either men or women. “Half the Pain, Twice the Pleasure” is how a German publication for physicians described bee pollen benefits for men with prostate problems. 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 in their reproductive glands. 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. The bonus? It was free of side-effects. A key bee pollen benefit was increased fertility.
Bee Pollen for Women: Twenty years ago American researchers discovered that bee pollen might successfully treat cancers in women. Doctors in Austria heard about this research and Dr. Peter Hernuss and his Austrian team worked with twenty-five women suffering from inoperable uterine cancer. They couldn’t remove the cancer, so the option was chemotherapy. Taking bee pollen with food lessened the nausea from the chemotherapy and kept hair loss to a minimum. Only half the women received the bee pollen and there were no comparable benefits for those not taking it. Even under the worst possible medical conditions, bee pollen benefits were clear. The fortunate women who took it with their food quickly acquired an immune system boost. Their lab tests showed:
* Increased antibody production
* More red blood cells
* More haemoglobin = (oxygen carrier in blood)
* A higher concentration of cancer-fighting natural killer (NK) cells.
Caution: Side effects are very rare, but sensitive individuals, especially if allergic to bees, should avoid bee pollen. It is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, as studies on safety are unconfirmed. Begin slowly, as with any bee product, taking ¼ to ½ tablet to watch for a reaction first, before taking a whole tablet.
