Bee pollen is a mixture of flower pollen, nectar, enzymes, honey, wax and bee secretions.

Foraging honey bees collect pollen from plants and transport it to the beehive, where it’s stored and used as food for the colony 

Bee pollen shouldn’t be confused with other bee products such as honey, royal jelly or honeycomb. 

Recently, bee pollen has gained traction in the health community because it’s loaded with nutrients, amino acids, vitamins, lipids and over 250 active substances 

Many studies have examined the health effects of bee pollen and found promising results.

Here are some health benefits of bee pollen, backed by science

1-Bee pollen may help lower heart disease risk factors such as “bad” LDL cholesterol and lipid oxidation.

2-Bee pollen contains a wide variety of antioxidants, which may protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals that are linked to chronic diseases, including cancer and type 2 diabetes.

3-Bee pollen contains over 250 biological substances, including protein, carbs, fats, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants. The exact nutrient composition depends on the plant source and season collected.

4-Animal studies suggest that bee pollen may boost liver function and protect this organ from harmful substances. However, more high-quality human studies are needed.

5-According to animal and test-tube studies, bee pollen antioxidants may have powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

6-Bee pollen has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may promote wound healing. Its antimicrobial properties may also prevent wound infections.

7-Test-tube studies suggest that bee pollen lowers your risk of several cancers, though more human studies are necessary.

8-Studies have shown that bee pollen may alleviate several menopausal discomforts, including hot flashes. It may also improve cholesterol levels.
