Bee Pollen is one of the richest and purestnatural foods ever discovered, and the incrediblenutritional and medicinal value of pollen has been

known for centuries.Pollen grains contain the male germ cells

(elements) that are produced by all plants, owers orblossoms. This is essential in order to ensure that

plant life throughout the world continues by aprocess involving fertilization and plant embryo

formation.One teaspoonful of pollen contains approximately

1,200 pellets or 2.5 billion grains, each of which hasthe capacity to supply those factors that are

necessary in order to fertilize and reproduce theparticular species that it represents (such as a fruit,

grain or tree). Pollen is composed of myriads ofmicrospores that are produced in the anthers ofowers and in the cones of conifers. Each grainmeasures approximately .002 inches in diameter

(although the representative diameter is somewherenear one-half millimeter), and each bee-collected

pellet contains approximately two million grains ofpollen.

Pollination consists of the transfer of pollen fromthe anther of a stamen to the stigma of a pistil. This,in turn, produces a fertilization of the ovules in the


2 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

ovary, which subsequently develops into the growthof seeds. A single spike of Ragweed or a single

strobile of Pine may produce up to six million grainsof pollen, and as many as four million grains may befound in a head of rye. Many plants are pollinated by

wind, rain or water-currents, while colorfullyattractive or scented owers containing nectar arelargely pollinated by insects (including ies, bees,

wasps, butteries, beetles and moths). Pollen gathered by bees is superior to that

obtained directly from owering plants. The bees areextremely discriminate about selecting the best

pollen from the millions of grains that are present. Ofthese, only two types are found, namely, anemophilepollen grains (which are not collected by bees, andproduce allergic reactions) and entomophile pollengrains (which are collected by bees, and possess

greater nutrient content). In actuality, entomophilepollen grains have been employed in the successfultreatment of airborn pollen allergies. It is apparentthat the bees only select those grains of pollen thatare rich in all the nutrients, especially nitrogenous

materials. The bees mix the pollen grains with asticky substance that is secreted from their

stomachs, which allows the pollen to adhere to theirrear legs in "pollen baskets" in order to safely

transport it to their hives.

Many other owers are also pollinated by certainbirds, such as sunbirds, honeycreepers, lorikeets and

hummingbirds. Marsupials (such as honey "mice"and bats) will also pollinate certain owering plants,

and even snails have been observed transportingpollen.

Pollens are usually designated by their owerorigin in order to establish certain preferences that

are dependable. The color and shape usuallyindicates the species of plant from which it was

obtained, as well as the specic geographical region.Although the color of pollen is normally unimportant,it will range from golden yellow to black according to

its source. Pollen contains many varieties ofpigments, of which only a small number have beenisolated. Certain pigments are water-soluble, whileothers are fat-soluble. This accounts for the manyvaried colors of honey (including the ambers and

greens), and the yellow of beeswax is a fat-solublepigment.

Pollen contains the richest known source ofvitamins, minerals, proteins amino acids, hormones,enzymes and fats, as well as signicant quantities of

natural antibiotics. Most of the known vitamins inpollen exist in perfect proportion, which further

enhances their value. There exists anywhere from 5,000 to 9,000

micrograms of active carotenoids, which areconverted into vitamin A in the body. The carotenoids

are available in the pollen of insect-pollinatedowers, but are missing from wind-pollinated

species. Carotenoids (Provitamin A) are present inthe Lipochrome fraction (which are xanthophyll

esters), and may range from 50 to 150 microgramsper gram. The pollens richest in carotene maycontain 20 times as much as is present in an

equivalent weight of carrots, thereby making pollen agood source of Provitamin A. The carotenoids are

usually combined with the outer layer of the pollengrain (the sporonine), but some may also be bound tothe protein of the pollen cell. In addition to the classof carotenoids, there is another group of pigments

found in pollen, namely, the avin pigments(avones, avonols). Furthermore, cytochromes also

occur in pollen. The following quantity of B-Complex vitamins are


5 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

found in one gram (1,000 milligrams) of fresh rawpollen:

Vitamin B1(thiamine) 9.2 mg.Vitamin B2(riboavin) 18.5 mg.Vitamin B6(pyridoxine) 5.0 mg.Nicotinic acid 200.0 mg.Pantothenic acid 27.6 mg.Folic acid 5.0 mg.

These amounts should be increased by 20 to 25percent for all varieties of dry pollen. All forms of beepollen contain higher amounts of vitamins B1, B2 andE than found in fruits, berries and green vegetables.

One gram of fresh raw pollen contains from 7 to15 mg. of vitamin C, along with traces of vitamin E

(tocopherol). Although vitamin K does not exist in mixed

pollens, it is usually found in fermented pollen (beebread). It is most likely created by bacteria thateither accompany or assist in the fermentation


6 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

process whenever pollen is stored in the cells of thecombs. While ordinary pollen gradually deteriorateswhile in storage, bee bread closely resembles freshpollen and retains its food value (even after more

than two years). Pollens usually contain as much as 17 milligrams

of rutin, although beehive stored pollen may containup to 13 percent. The richest supply of rutin is found

in buckwheat pollen, due to the fact that rutin isderived from buckwheat. Daily consumption of from60 to 70 grams of pollen is considered safe insofar as

the intake of rutin is concerned. Various other vitamins found in pollen include

B5, B12, D, biotin, inositol and PABA. The mineral content of bee pollen is as follows:

Calcium 1 to 15% of ash(10.5% average)Chlorine 1% of ashCopper .05 to .08% of ashIron .01 to .3% of ash(.07% average)Magnesium 1 to 12% of ash(6.7% average)


7 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

Manganese 1.4% of ashPhosphorus 1 to 20% of ash(13.6% average)Potassium 20 to 45% of ash(20.7% average)Silicon 2 to 10% of ashSulfur 1% of ash

The total mineral ash in pollen may vary from 1to 7 percent (with a mean average of 2.7 percent),which is similar to that of grains and certain seeds.

Bee pollen contains up to 59 dierent traceminerals, and all minerals found in pollen are present

in a highly digestible form. The protein content of pollen (including certain

peptones and gloculins) ranges from 10 to 35 percent(according to its plant origin), with a mean averageof 20 percent. Forty to fty percent of this may be inthe form of free amino acids. All pollens contain theexact same number of 22 amino acids, yet dierentspecies produce varying amounts. The amino acidsfound in whole dry pollen uctuate between 10 and

13 percent (26.88% protein or albuminoussubstances). This equals from 5 to 7 times the amino

acids found in equal weights of beef, milk, eggs or


8 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

cheese. The following are protein content comparisons

between pollen and "complete protein foods" (100grams edible portion):

Isoleusine Leusine Lysine Methionine

The quantitative analysis of amino acids (per 100

These are the amino acids that are mostindispensable in our daily diet, and which cannot bemanufactured or synthesized in our system. They arealso derived from natural sources in a usable form.

Approximately 35 grams of pollen each day willsupply all the body's protein requirements. However,only 25 grams of pollen ingested daily will sustain aperson in terms of providing sucient amounts of

each of the essential amino acids. The albuminous substances in bee pollen consistof albumine, globuline, guanine, hypoxanthine,

lecithin, nusleine, peptone, vernine and xanthine. The body will more eectively utilize the protein

in food if there is a larger selection of amino acids


10 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

available. Bee pollen contains from 10 to 15 percent

natural sugars, including fructose, glucose, pentose,ranose, stachyose and sucrose. These are

essentially the same simple natural sugars that arefound in honey, and which exist in easily-digested

chains and bonds. Many are converted to apredigested form by the enzymatic action of the

bee's salivary glands. The total content of natural sugars in pollen

range from 30 to 40 percent; glucose, from 25 to 48percent; reducing sugars, from 7.5 to 40 percent;

and non-reducing sugars, from 0.1 to 19 percent. Thenon-reducing sugars in the bee-collected pollen

average 2.7 percent while the reducing sugars rangefrom 18 to 41 percent, with a mean average of 25

percent. However, the values for both reducing andnon-reducing sugars in hand-collected pollen may beapproximately the reverse of this. In hand-collectedpollen, reducing sugars range from 0 to 7.5 percent

and non-reducing sugars may be as much as 22percent.

Pollen may also contain up to 44 percent ofcarbohydrates or glucides. The starches found in bee

pollen are sometimes combined with othercarbohydrates, and may average anywhere from 1 to


11 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

22 percent. The highly-resistant exterior wall membranes of

pollen are composed of sporonine and cellulose. Thiscomplex carbohydrate is unextractable from pollen,and ranges from 7 to 57 percent in various species.

The undetermined percentages of pollen thatremain after the removal of water (or moisture), ash,

sugars, starch, protein and ether extracts consistprimarily of the pollen shell (or sporonine). This

ranges from 21 to 35 percent in bee-collected pollen,with a mean average of 28.55 percent. However, the

average is approximately 57 percent forhand-collected pollen.

Although various other extractives may rangefrom 1 to 25 percent in pollen, fats and oils may

constitute only 5 percent. In some cases, the levels offatty acids in pollen are about 5.8 percent. However,

hexadecanol has been found in amounts totallingabout 0.14 percent of pollen weight. In addition,alpha-amino-butyric acid has been identied in

pollen fat. Furthermore, the unsaponiable fractionof pollen weight may total as much as 2.6 percent.

In addition bee pollen also contains lecithin,amines, nuclein, guanine, xanthine, hypoxanthine,

vernine, waxes, gums, resins, hydrocarbons (0.57%),


12 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

sterols (0.6%), polypeptides, DNA, ribose,desoxyribose, hexuronic acid, vegetable oils (5%

average) and various growth factors. Certain enzymes are also present in pollen, and

are the essential biological catalysts during thedigestive process (pollen also aids in the proper

digestion of other foods). The enzymes found in beepollen include amylase, catalase, cozymase,

cytochrome, dehydrogenase, diaphorase, diastase,lactic acids, pectase and phosphatase. A mixture of

fresh pollen may contain anywhere from 500 to 1,000micrograms of cozymase per gram, which compares

favorably with the amounts found in yeast. Inaddition, the alcoholic fermentation of pollen is

identical with that of yeast. The heating of pollen will destroy the valuable

enzymes and vitamin C content. Fungus spores are sometimes found intermingled

with pollen. The water content of fresh pollen ranges from 3

to 20 percent. This water content must be carefullyremoved by proper dyhydration methods

(dessication) in order to retain its fragile elements,as well as to preserve the total integrity of its

properties.


13 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

Bee pollen also contains active antibioticsubstances that immediately destroy harmful

pathogenic bacteria upon contact. Bee-collected pollen usually contains nectar and

saliva. When mixed with honey, this pollen may bestored in comb cells where it undergoes a lactic acidfermentation process in order to produce "bee bread"

(which contains high levels of vitamin E and K). Pollen is superior to both honey and royal jelly,

and possesses a similar (but more stable)composition to that of royal jelly. The overall stability

of bee pollen is more advantageous when used indietetics, as well as an eective form of skin care

during corrective dermatology. Since pollen containsfatty acids, this may account for its favorable eectupon the skin and dermal tissues. The anti-fungal

action in human perspiration is due to the presenceof certain fatty acids such as caprylic, propionic and

undecyclenic acids. Many of the active ingredients in bee pollen

consist of substances (such as hormones) thataccelerate plant growth.

Many universities and colleges throughout theworld are discovering the mounting evidence of high

performance levels associated with the use of beepollen.

Pythagoras, Hippocrates, Pliny and Virgil all referredto pollen's substantial rejuvenating power, as well as

its ability to retard aging.Russia's known centenarians were usually

beekeepers whose diets included large amounts of"scrap" honey, which is a pollen-saturated honeyresidue salvaged from the bottom of beehives.

Bee pollen has a dramatic eect upon mentalperception during athletic performances.

The I.Q.'s of children have been doubled duringdocumented clinical tests, and resistance to stress

has been signicantly increased in both animals andhumans.


15 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

Experiments by French doctors have revealedthat pollen contains both natural antibiotic

properties and signicant growth factors. Bee pollenwas used solely as a source of nutrients for

prolonged periods (6 months), and displayedextremely successful results in terms of growth

promotion. This growth factor usually variesaccording to the quantity of pollen ingested, and

often produces an acceleration of growth. The ingestion of pollen on a regular basis for a

healthy person will usually accomplish the following:1. Protect against any insuciencies in vitamins,

minerals and amino acids --- especially duringpregnancy, lactation, and intensive physical or

mental work.2. Permit achievement of optimal physical and

intellectual output.3. Provide greater reinforcement to the body during

its resistance towards any external aggression.4. Forestall any internal metabolic disorders thateventually generate various disease-conditions. Pollen provides those chemical substances from

which are created glands, muscles, hair and vitalorgans. In addition, it also furnishes those essentialmaterials that are necessary for the repair of any


16 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

worn-out cells or tissues. Bee pollen also produces regulatory (amphoteric)

activity upon the gastro-intestinal functions, both inrelation to chronic constipation and certain cases of

diarrhea that are highly resistant to syntheticantibiotic therapy. Furthermore, pollen regulates theintestines by destroying or weakening any harmful

bacteria while simultaneously promoting the growthof health-giving species (intestinal ora).

Bee Pollen is extremely valuable as an adaptogenby assisting in both weight gain or loss, as well as in

the reduction of hypertension or increasing theoverall metabolic functions. Bee Pollen both

regulates and stimulates the metabolism in thehuman organism by supplying the missing factors (or

catalysts) that other foods do not provide whileneutralizing the catabolic eects of various toxins,environmental pollutants, synthetic drugs or food

additives, thereby producing healthier cells,improved health and well-being and a longer

life-span. Pollen enhances the metabolism by creating

endless chain reactions throughout the entiresystem. The essential minerals and other naturalelements in bee pollen act as catalysts, and are

responsible for the assimilation of that portion of


17 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

foods which would normally have been eliminatedwithout yielding the energy, essential nutrients andother benets (which usually occurs on a regular

basis with most adulterated foods). Bee Pollen accelerates the normal cellular

processes throughout the entire organism, and actsas a catalyst in order to stimulate intercellular

metabolic activities without profoundly modifyingnormal physiological activity.

The overall eects of pollen are multiple, i.e., itdoes not appear to possess only one specic

physiological function but, rather, activates thesystemic biological functions.

Elements that exist in microgram quantities(such as those found in Bee Pollen) can interact with

co-enzymes as catalysts, or can act synergistically(i.e., the elements' action combined is greater than

the sum of their actions taken separately). During many years of testing, pollen has been

notable for its lack of harmful side-eects. Fewmedications rank with bee pollen in terms of its lackof toxicity. It is a completely natural product that iswell tolerated by the body and compatible with all

other forms of therapy. In addition, it is easy todigest and suitable for all ages. Furthermore, it


18 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

provides increased protection and greater resistanceagainst any invasive or harmful pathogenic bacteria,and provides increased and sustainable energy-levels

throughout the entire organism. There are approximately 35,000 miles of

capillaries in the human body, and pollen assists inthe elimination of sludge and other waste materialsthat constantly accumulates in these ducts (due tostress from modern living habits, processed foods,synthetic drugs and environmental pollutants). Ifonly a fraction of an inch of these 35,000 miles ofducts should burst in the brain, it could be fatal or

else produce partial or total paralysis for theremainder of the lifespan.

Rutin is a glucoside that provides increasedresistance to the walls of the capillaries, and its

primary duty is to reinforce the general resistancethroughout the entire capillary system. Rutinprotects the entire organism against capillary

permeability resulting from excessive radiation ofx-rays or consecutive histamine injections. The

richest supply of rutin is found in buckwheat pollen. Rutin is especially benecial to the intellectual

functions, as well as in conditions involving cerebralhemorrhage or heart disorders. The actions of rutin

are also vascular and slightly hypotensive, and it also


19 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

acts as a diuretic. Rutin also diminishes the time ofbleeding within proportions of from 30 to 40 percent,as well as shortens coagulation time. Furthermore, it

corrects the capillary fragility during parturitionwhile preventing meningeal hemorrhages in infants.Capillary resistance in pregnant women is improved

by 60 percent within 10 days of the initialadminstration of rutin.

In convalescents, bee pollen creates a rapidincrease in both weight and energy-levels, and from

1 to 3 tablespoonsful should be taken daily byinvalids or those in a poor state of health who

require total rejuvenation (such as the elderly). Pollen is also successful in treating hypertonicillness, as well as disorders of the nervous or

endocrine glandular systems. It produces the desiredstabilizing eects of either increasing low blood

pressure or reducing high blood pressure. Inaddition, it provides a calming and tranquilizing(sedative) eect without any contraindications or

harmful side-eects. Bee pollen is highly recommended for both

mentally-retarded and anemic children, as well as forthose suering from rickets. Test results indicate a

signicant increase in red blood corpuscles (up to 30percent) and an increase in the hemoglobin count


20 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

(averaging about 15 percent). When these childrenare given supplementary doses of pollen andglutamic acid, their overall improvement is

drmatically accelerated. The action of glutamic acidreacts directly upon the brown cells of the brain.

Improvement is generally observed within the rst 6months, and reaches its peak towards the end of one

year. The prescribed dosage is approximately 4grams, 3 times a day.

Pollen contains large quantities of acetylcholine,which plays a varied and important role in the

functional capabilities of the entire organism byprovoking increased adrenaline secretions. It alsoacts as a chemical mediator for the transmission of

nerve impulses, which may indicate why pollenstimulates increased glandular secretions whileacting as a tonic to the entire nervous system. By stimulating the secretion of hormones from

the adrenal cortex, bee pollen assists in regulating(1) salt and water metabolism, (2) neuromuscular

function, (3) carbohydrate, fat and proteinmetabolism, (4) resistance to many physical andchemical agents or infections, and (5) increased

activity upon hair growth, skin and sexual functions(including the improvement of secondary sexual

characteristics).


21 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

Pollen also stimulates both adrenal and liversecretions in order to allow the liver to secrete

additional quantities of glycoge, thereby elevatingthe blood sugar levels (which greatly benets those

with symptoms of hypoglycemia). Allergy attacks brought on by pollen are normallyproduced by wind-carried pollens, and not by

bee-collected pollens. Wind-generated pollens usuallystimulate a cleansing process throughout the entire

respiratory tract, especially among those whoconsume excessive quantities of mucus-producing

foods during the winter months.Bee pollen may be safely administered by everyone,even those persons who are prone to allergies suchas hayfever, as they will usually suer no ill-eects.Allergenic properties are always neutralized by the

nectar and enzymes secreted by the bees. Raw honeyhas been specically recommended by many

professional allergists as having an immunizingeect upon the majority of pollen-stimulated

allergies. This is usually a direct result of the pollenand related substances that are found in bothunltered and uncooked honey which, when

ingested, form a natural oral immunization againstallergies.

In Sweden, pollen extracts or concentrates are


22 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

obtained from two dierent types of extracts, namely(1) hydrosoluble cernitin (T60), and (2) lipoidsoluble

cernitin (GBX1). There are 60 mg. of cernitin T60and 3 mg. of cernitin GBX1 in "cernilton", which isunsurpassed in preventing and reducing commonvirus infections and related infectious conditions

(due to its interferon activity). These pollen extractsare capable of penetrating cell walls, thereby beingdirectly absorbed into the cells. This allows them to

directly stimulate interferon production, therebyincreasing the normal resistance against virus

attacks (such as inuenza and other viral infections).Vaccines are ususally only eective against viral

attack from one specic virus, however, protection isnormally aorded against most types of viruses when

the cells are stimulated to produce interferon. Beepollen also produces signicant increases in both

leukocytes and epitrocytes. The natural antibioticsfound in pollen (of which penicillin is merely aprototype) will prevent the growth of certain

microorganisms. Additional medical properties found in pollen

include: (1) bacteriostatic (arrests the growth ofharmful pathogenic bacteria), (2) cytophylactic and

cytotoxic (cellular defense against infection andtoxins), and (3) anti-anorexic (stimulates increased

appetite, but only for those who lack it).

Pollen is highly successful in removing thesymptoms of vegetative dystonia accompanied by a

predominance of thyrogenous symptoms. Bee pollen also displays an eect similar to that

of the drug amphetamine in that it acts as a "psycho-tonic". However, it does not manifest any depressive

side-eects. Pollen allows signicantly increased amounts of

oxygen to reach the brain and the cells in general,thereby resulting in improved overall health and

mental capabilities. Pollen will also accelerate increased tissue repair

throughout the entire organism, thereby making itextremely eective in the removal of scar tissue

following surgical operations. Bee pollen displays amphoteric (regulatory)

properties in order to restore equilibrium andharmony to all the bodily functions.

Pollen will reduce any excess body weight duringconditions involving obesity or overweight, whileincreasing body weight during any underweight

conditions. Bee pollen is extremely eective in small doses,


24 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

and its overall eects are usually quite prolonged. When employed either alone or combined withother therapies, pollen has been extremely

successful for the following ailments or disease-conditions:

Bees usually secrete a substance from theirstomachs in order to allow the individual pollen

granules to stick together and eventually form pelletsthat will adhere to their rear legs ("pollen baskets").This secretion will transform the various pollens into

an active product containing dierent forms ofdiastase.

Pollen grains are intricately designed so that they


29 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

become virtually immune from decay under certainanaerobic conditions. Pollen must be completely

dehydrated in order to prevent spoilage. Air-driedpollen will eventually wrinkle, and its nutritive valuewill decline with age. However, "bee bread" pollenclosely resembles fresh pollen in both appearance

and food value even after 1 or 2 years. Pollen/honey cakes can be created by kneading

six or seven layers of pollen and honey together, andthen spreading it out to dry thoroughly. It is then

sliced into strips (roughly 5 inches long) and allowedto dry for from 3 to 4 days, and then stored for futureuse as survival food during famines, crop failures or

drought. By combining the pollen with the honey, the

pollen becomes incapable of deterioration or decaywhile it is immersed within the honey. Bacteria

cannot thrive in a honey medium, due to itshygroscopic (anti-moisture) properties. By storing

this combination of pollen and honey beneath apyramid structure, both the pollen and honey willremain pure and intact for many years through a

process known as mummication. It is possible to imitate the bee's method of

storing pollen by creating an articial form of "beebread". This is accomplished by dissolving 15 pounds


30 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

of honey into 25 pounds of water, which is brought toa boil and then immediately cooled. Add 100 pounds

of air-dried pollen to this solution. The resultantblend is mixed and kneaded by hand or with a

suitable blender, and is then placed into a crock jarwhere it is lightly tamped. The contents are coveredwith a wooden disk supporting a stone weight. Afterstanding at a temperature of from 96 to 97 degrees

Fahrenheit for from 4 to 6 days, the wooden disk andweight are removed. The crock is then sealed with amelted mixture of one part beeswax and three partsparan. This jar is then stored in a cool, dry place.

The maximum amount of pollen that can becollected from a single beehive is approximately 200grams (one gram comprises 125 pellets). By placinga ve-pound jar of honey inside the hive, the amount

of pollen that can be harvested will nearly double.This ve-pound container allows the bees to have aconstant supply of honey readily available to supplythe needs of their colony, thereby allowing them to

devote more time and energy in the search forpollen.

Bees will not only avoid toxic plants (includingthose sprayed with harmful pesticides), but they alsoseek those plants that contain the highest nutritional

values.


31 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

It is impossible to remove too much pollen fromthe ecological system. The more pollen that is

harvested allows even more to be produced, so this isone of the most productive cycles in existence. A dosage of from 15 to 20 grams (one-half ounce)

will usually meet the Recommended Daily Allowance(RDA) for adults. Approximately 30 to 32 grams arenecessary in order to anabolically strengthen andtone a person, whereas anywhere from 15 to 20

grams are essential for the proper maintenance ofgood health in active adults.

Children from 3 to 5 years of age require 12grams of pollen, while those from 6 to 12 years need

16 grams daily. The daily dose can be increased up to 35 grams(1 ounce equals 28 grams), considering the

dierences in age, weight and overall state of health.This dosage will also provide greater preventative

maintenance against a lack of essential amino acids. Do not begin using bee pollen with a dose larger

than 1 tablespoonful, twice a day. After one week,gradually increase the dosage from 1 tablespoonful

up to 4 tablespoonfuls (1 tablespoonful equalsapproximately one-fourth ounce). One ounce of bee

pollen (4 tablespoonfuls) is equivalent to three


32 din 39 23.11.2014 20:14

cooked meals in terms of nutrient content.While this small dosage acts as a mild hypotensive, it

also possesses stimulant properties and may upsetyour gastro-intestinal system if taken in largequantities during the initial stages (due to its

powerful cleansing eects). Pollen should be ingested preferably on an emptystomach, and there is no danger of toxicity fromingesting it (as it is an unadulterated product). Pollen gathered for human consumption requires

careful processing techniques, including drying,cleaning and sorting. Bee pollen should be selected

for its quality and avor, especially since the amountof avor in any given food usually determines the

levels of nutrient content. Proper processing requiresmeticulous handling, and poor quality pollens (thatare inexpensively priced) should always be avoided.The overall taste of bee pollen ranges from bitter to

sweet, depending upon the particular variety orspecies of ower from which it was obtained. Pollen should be kept refrigerated or stored in a

cool, dry place at all times in order to protect its vitalqualities. Cooking is not advisable, due to the

destruction of essential enzymes caused by excessiveheat.

Bee pollen should be consumed in its pure format least 30 minutes before meals, especially if it is

being used for the purpose of losing excess weight. Itcan also be mixed with honey, thereby producing a

candy substitute if made into cakes and dried underdirect sunlight. Pollen also becomes a healthy

substitute for mother's milk when combined with nutmilks, such as almond milk. It can also be blendedinto fruit or vegetable dressing, or you can dissolvepollen in your favorite herb tea, fruit or vegetablejuice (e.g., pineapple and tomato juice blend welltogether). Pollen may also be sprinkled onto icecream, granola, sandwiches or salads, or take a

banana and dip it directly into the pollen. You mayalso wish to dissolve 1 teaspoonful of pollen and 1

teaspoonful of honey in a cup of hot water and drinkbefore breakfast.

Pollen may be consumed in its natural pelletform, or it may be pulverized by the use of a blender

or coee grinder in order to incorporate it intobutter, jam, or a mixture of butter and honey.

Bee Pollen should never be purchased in powder,tablet or capsule form, as any commercial

pulverizing process of pollen is usually accompaniedby a certain amount of adulteration.

Pollen will usually ferment within 24 hours if it is

moist and not refrigerated.Heat will normally decrease the health value of bee

pollen, as is the case with nearly all foods.
