Bee Pollen Benefits
What's a good dosage, and are there any side effects?
What's all the buzz about bee pollen benefits?
The benefits of bee pollen have been known for many years.
I first read about bee pollen benefits when a friend told me that if bees die, the human race will only have 4 years to live....
At first I didn't believe him. I personally thought that sounded pretty ridiculous. But he was pretty adamant about it so I decided to look it up.
Without explaining it all here, the bottom line is that there is no replacement for natural pollination. Many types of fruits and vegetables are dependent on
honey bees.
Unfortunately many bees are dying off and researchers are scrambling to figure out why this is happening. It's actually quite an interesting, and scary topic.
Here are some of the benefits of bee pollen:
Bee pollen is a very affordable supplement that has every vitamin and amino acid to sustain life!
Specifically it has been known to:
- Help regulate your metabolism (this helps with your weight management)
- Lowers the bad cholesterol in your body
- Boosts your energy levels
- Can aid in cancer prevention
- Can increase your sex drive and energy levels
It is a complete package of nutrients aimed at giving you an optimal level of health.
Where does it come from?
The pollen comes from the male seeds of flowers.
Female bees, which are the worker bees of the colony, buzz around and pick up the pollen from the flowers. Honey bees are the only things that can synthesize
the pollen.
Some things within the pollen have not yet been identified.
Scientist have tried to duplicate this in their labs but it just can't be done. It's a pretty incredible source of nutrients.
Approximately half of bee pollen is carbs, protein and fat(25%,20%,4.5%). The rest is made up of powerful vitamins, minerals and other substances.
What's a good bee pollen dosage?
You can buy bee pollen in pill form, or granule form.
If you are considering buying the pill form, make sure it's a high quality product.
The pill form is much easier to take, but you should really
aim for the highest quality.
A recommended supplement with high quality ingredients is Natural Energy from Xtend Life.
Personally I take the granule form, but I must admit the pill form is much more convenient. If you buy the granule form, keep it stored in the freezer or at least the fridge.
I mix one teaspoon into green tea every morning. The pollen doesn't taste great, but I have found mixing it with tea to be pretty good.
This allows me to
also get the benefits of green tea :)
If I feel like a tea at night, I usually mix one more teaspoon.
If you take the pill form, it's best to follow the recommended dosages on the labels.
If you decide to take the granule form, 1 teaspoon will probably be enough.
However, there are people who take 3 or more teaspoons a day. It is a very safe
product because it is a natural food.
I feel that if you can mix some with your tea everyday, you will be fine.
If you don't drink tea, you can mix it with salads, or put it into your shakes and smoothies. Aim for 1 teaspoon to start and build it up if you wish.
Are there any allergic reactions to bee pollen?
If you are extremely allergic to bees or bee products, you may experience anaphylactic shock.
Most people already know that they are allergic to bees so that shouldn't
be a problem.
If you are worried about any side effects, always check with your doctor first.
For the most part this is a very safe supplement. It's always safe to introduce new things to your body s l o w l y.
If you are prone to side effects, start
with a low dosage. Build it up until you are comfortable taking 1 teaspoon a day.
Some minor side effects might include:
- Headache
- Nausea
- Skin irritation
If you experience any of these, stop taking bee pollen or reduce your dosage.
In conclusion, there are many bee pollen benefits with very few side effects.
It's a natural food product that can supply you with all the essential vitamins
and nutrients you need to survive.
Mix it with a cup of tea, sprinkle it on your salad, or take it in the pill form. It's a powerful food that everyone should be using for optimal levels of
health. Start experiencing some bee pollen benefits today.
Product Recommendations:
OK, I have two product recommendations based on different supplement forms.
Pills and tablets make it easy to get the bee pollen benefits. When things are easy to do, they become consistent. Being consistent with your health supplements is extremely important.
Granules are a bit more difficult to prepare, but if you want to mix them with other foods or drinks, they're what you want.
I would recommend you try Organic Bee Farms Fresh Bee Pollen if you want to use
granules.
If you want the convenience of bee pollen in a pill form, I suggest you use Natural Energy from Xtend Life.
