Pollen, 200 g (in a bag)

Pollen grains are the male reproductive part of flowering plants. They are 2–3 mm nectar-moistened, slightly sweet, colorful granules whose chemical composition and effects differ from wind-borne pollen. Such pollen is much less allergic.

Bee-collected pollen is a valuable apitherapeutic product and has been regarded since ancient times as a nutritious and healthy food in natural medicine. Recently, bee pollen has been considered a beneficial dietary supplement and a value-added product containing about 250 different bioactive components. It is rich in beneficial elements such as Mg, Ca, Mn, K, and phenolic compounds.

Bee pollen exhibits strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, analgesic, immunostimulatory, neuroprotective, anticancer, and hepatoprotective properties.
They are used for various purposes for human well-being.
In addition, there is growing interest in the use of bee products as natural therapeutic and nutritional agents.

Directions for use: Adults are advised to consume 1–2 teaspoons per day, and children up to 1 teaspoon per day. It is best to dissolve them in warm water and drink them before breakfast. They are not completely soluble, therefore it is even more important to chew and “open” the pollen grain core. In this way, we will better absorb the bioactive compounds contained in the pollen.

This product should not be used for patients with bronchial asthma, allergic to vitamin B and adolescents during puberty.
