What is Pollen?

Pollen is the male germ seed of flowering plants. It is produced by flowers and is the reproduction of a myriad of plant life. Whilst the nutritional content of pollen varies, it is a rich source of many vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes.

Bee pollen is a rich mix of various micronutrients and it is believed that it is the synergy of the many nutrients contained in pollen that is important.

History

Different population groups, that have been renowned for their longevity in different regions of the world, ranging from South America to Russia, seem to include pollen as part of their diet. No doubt, the fact that these people lead hard working lives, get plenty of exercise and eat a natural diet all contribute to the enjoyment of their good health and long lives.

Anecdotal and scientific reports of the benefits of pollen

As bee pollen is a rich mix of various micronutrients it has been difficult to pinpoint the individual ingredients that exert the benefits ascribed to this food-like substance. The benefits are likely to be due to the synergy of the many nutrients contained in pollen.

Anecdotal evidence for the benefits of pollen includes a protective effect against the common cold, influenza, rheumatism and arthritis. In Sweden a protective effect against prostatitis was noted using a pollen extract.

Some believe that taking pollen during the period leading up to and throughout the hay fever season may lessen the effect of this irritating condition.
