And with its rich anti-oxidant features it is simply the meal for champions.

Bee Pollen has been used for many use.  Records of its use has been found in the Bible, Torah , Koran and many other Egyptian and Chinese records. Many famous people have used, for example Ronald Reagan was never without if for many years.

And many people swear to the healing benefits of bee pollen. Amongst many others, bee pollen has been said to result in the increase in body energy as well as its immune system, aided in the facilitation and repair of damaged cells and caused the cure of many kinds of diseases.

People also say that it is good for the intestines, moderating and controlling the organisms dwelling there and helping to aid digestion and the assimilation of nutrition.

But it helps to keep a little perspective and remain as least a little skeptical. There is at yet, currently no proven scientific result that supports the bulk of these claims.

How then is Bee Pollen formed?

Pollen is created by the male part of the flowering plant. As the bee flits from flower to flower, it carries pollen with it, which cross-pollinates and fertilizes the plant. The residual pollen which is not dropped off by the bees but instead carried to the hive is what is collected as bee pollen.

This is why many people who suffer from pollen allergies are affected by bee pollen—it is still in fact pollen. In fact, there are acknowledged reports of bee pollen and royal jelly triggering asthma, hives, sore throats, facial itches and even anaphylactic shock in people with allergies to specific pollens. Allergy reactions can be triggered by even the tiniest amounts of pollen.

This is dangerous because many people believe the elixir qualities of bee pollen to be true, even when their body informs them otherwise. The views and advises of doctors and nutritionist should always be taken in preference over the reliance on nutritional supplements.
