Description

Rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, lipids and fatty acids, bee pollen is such a concentrated, energy and vitamin rich food that today it is not only consumed as a dietary component, but also often used in alternative medical treatments. With high levels of enzymes, carotenoids and bioflavonoids, raw bee pollen has been shown to reduce inflammation as well as stimulating the immune system and lowering cholesterol. With more protein per gram than any animal source and more amino acids than equal weight of eggs or beef, it is often favored by athletes. It can be added to foods such as yogurt, oatmeal, or smoothies.
