Pollen (Wildflower)
Our wildflower bee pollen is Wisconsin Kosher! If you’re local to southeast Wisconsin, you can use bee pollen to help reduce allergies by taking a small portion every day (please see instructions on how to safely start taking bee pollen). If you’re in the market for taking bee pollen as a health food supplement, you probably already know many of the benefits of bee pollen. Did you know that bee pollen is a super food? It contains a free amino acid, allowing your body to use pollen as a substitute for what might be missing in your diet! Amazing!
Please note: As the seasons change and so do the flowers that our bees collect from, pollen will vary in color!
Bee pollen contains all the essential components of life. The percentage of rejuvenating elements in bee pollen remarkably exceeds those present in brewer's yeast and wheat germ. Bee pollen corrects the deficient or unbalanced nutrition common in the customs of our present-day civilization of consuming incomplete foods, often with added chemical ingredients, which expose us to physiological problems as various as they are numerous. Because bee pollen contains all the nutrients needed to sustain life, it is being used on an ever-larger scale for human nourishment and health. Bee-gathered pollens are rich in proteins, free amino acids, and vitamins, including B-complex and folic acid. Bee pollen is richer in proteins than any animal source. It contains more amino acids than beef, eggs, or cheese of equal weight. Bee pollen is particularly concentrated in all elements necessary for life.
How to Start Taking Bee Pollen Step
Step 1) Test to make sure you are not allergic. Evaluate sensitivity by ingesting a single bee pollen pellet, and monitoring for signs and symptoms of intolerance. Step 2) Increase your bee pollen intake gradually. Start with a granule or two of bee pollen daily and gradually build your consumption to about one tablespoon per day. Depending on your body weight and previous health history, the amount of bee pollen needed to provide optimal health benefits may vary.
Heating pollen granules can denature the active enzyme and limit its nutrient value.
