What is Bee Pollen?
Bee Pollen is orange/yellow in color and it comes out of the hive in little granules or pellets.It comes from the pollen nectar from the flowers (the dusty stuff that you see on blossoms in the spring).Pollen is the male seed of flowers. It is required for the fertilization of the plant. Bee Pollen contains trace amounts of minerals and vitamins and is very high in protein and carbohydrates. Bee Pollen is not found in the everyday diet. It is found in nutritional supplements and chinese herbal medicine products
Benefits of Bee Pollen and how it is better than regular multivitamin supplements
Bee pollen is sometimes called 'the perfect food'. Bee pollen benefits stem from the fact that it contains more than 96 different nutrients, including every single nutrient that is needed to sustain human life. It is made up of 40% protein, nearly all of it usable by the body without any further breakdown or metabolism.It's complex blend of protein, amino acids and minerals provide virtually all of the body's nutritional needs in a highly bio-available form. Athletes have used fresh organic bee pollen for improving strength, endurance, mental clarity and stamina.
Pollen contains the richest known source of vitamins, minerals, proteins amino acids, hormones, enzymes and fats, as well as significant quantities of natural antibiotics. Most of the known vitamins in pollen exist in perfect proportion, which further enhances their value.
Although the chemical breakdown of pollen has been studied thousands of times, there still remain some unidentifiable trace elements that modern scientists have yet to understand. The beneficial components of organic bee pollen that have been identified so far include:
- 18 amino acids (these cannot be manufactured by the body),
- 27 vitamins
- 28 minerals
- 11 enzymes and co-enzymes
- 24 beneficial fatty acids and
- 11 healthy carbohydrates
Bee pollen benefits your immune system. Bee pollen contains proteins, mono and polyunsaturated fats, vitamins B, C, D, E, and beta-carotene, calcium, magnesium, selenium, nucleic acids, lecithin, and cysteine, all of which have been proven effective in strengthening the immune system.
Bee pollen helps build resistance to allergies. Because bee pollen contains traces of the substances that can trigger allergic hay fever, some allergists prescribe it to help lower sensitivity to local plant pollens.
Bee pollen helps you to cope more easily with stress. Because it has a full complement of amino acids, essential fatty acids and vitamins that help regulate mood, taking bee pollen supplements can help you control the stress in your life.
Bee Pollen is extremely valuable as an adaptogen by assisting in both weight gain or loss, as well as in the reduction of hypertension or increasing the overall metabolic functions. Bee Pollen both regulates and stimulates the metabolism in the human organism by supplying the missing factors (or catalysts) that other foods do not provide while neutralizing the catabolic effects of various toxins, environmental pollutants, synthetic drugs or food additives, thereby producing healthier cells, improved health and well-being and a longer life-span.
Athletes have used bee pollen for centuries to help them increase their energy and endurance. While studies have yet to bear this out, it makes logical sense that the long-term effects of using a bee pollen supplement are extremely beneficial to athletes. Considering the full spectrum of nutrients that bee pollen provides, it only makes sense that long-term bee pollen supplements would help athletes - who deplete their bodies of necessary nutrients on a regular basis.
Just google 'Pee Pollen and Athletic Performance' or 'Bee Pollen Bodybuilding' and you will see for yourself the amazing benefits.
Bee Pollen is found in most health stores.
