| Bee pollen is often
referred to as nature's most complete food. Human consumption of bee
pollen is praised in the Bible, other religious books, and ancient
Chinese and Egyptian texts. It has long been prescribed by traditional
health practitioners-including the fathers of Western medicine Hippocrates,
Pliny the Elder, and Pythagoras-for its healing properties.
More than 40 research studies document the therapeutic efficacy
and safety of bee pollen. Clinical tests show that orally ingested
bee pollen particles are rapidly and easily absorbed-they pass directly
from the stomach into the blood stream. Within two hours after ingestion,
bee pollen is found in the blood, in cerebral spinal fluids, and in
the urine.
Bee pollen rejuvenates your body, stimulates organs
and glands, enhances vitality, and brings about a longer life span.
Bee pollen's ability to consistently and noticeably increase energy
levels makes it a favorite substance among many world class athletes
and those interested in sustaining and enhancing quality performance.
Bee pollen contains most of the known nutrients, including all of
those necessary for human survival. When compared to any other food,
it contains a higher percentage of all necessary nutrients. Bee pollen
is approximately 25% complete protein containing at least 18 amino
acids. In addition, bee pollen provides more than a dozen vitamins,
28 minerals, 11 enzymes or co-enzymes, 14 beneficial fatty acids,
11 carbohydrates, and is rich in minerals, the full spectrum of vitamins,
and hormones. It is low in calories.
Several nutrients in bee pollen, such as proteins, beneficial fats,
vitamins B, C, D, E, and beta-carotene, calcium, magnesium, selenium,
nucleic acids, lecithin, and cysteine, are scientifically well documented
for their ability to strengthen immunity, counteract the effects of
radiation and chemical toxins (which are the two most severe stressors
to your immune system), and generate optimal health and vitality.
