Bee pollen is the dusty substance on the flower stamen, according to the Bee Pollen Health.com website. It attaches itself to bees' legs as they flit from flower to flower, gathering nectar. It contains nutrients, including B vitamins, antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin E, protein, fatty acids and other substances that can be beneficial to humans. The Bee Pollen Secrets.com website advises consulting your doctor before you use bee pollen or any other supplement. People with allergies to bee products or bee stings may experience headaches, dizziness, a scratchy throat, wheezing or hives.
Immunity and Health
According to the All Natural.net website, bee pollen builds and promotes the immune system by helping rid your body of toxins and poisons. The pollen is easily absorbed into the bloodstream, so it starts working quickly and without side effects, unless you are allergic to bee pollen. Some people use bee pollen to get relief from the side effects of radiation that may compromise immune systems. The Bee Pollen Secrets.com website claims that bee pollen contains all the essential nutrients needed for good health. The nutritional value of bee pollen makes it one of the richest and healthiest of natural foods available, states Frances Albrecht, M.S., C.N. on Bee Pollen Health Info Online.
Weight Control
Bee pollen may help correct a chemical imbalance to assist with weight control, according to the Bee Pollen Health.com website. It contains lecithin that can aid in processing fat and flush it from your body. Phenylalanine, one of the amino acids it contains, is an appetite suppressant, preventing you from overeating but without the side effects of the chemically reproduced version of phenylalanine.
Sexual Function
Bee pollen contains amino acids and a hormone that is similar to the pituitary hormone gonadotropin, a hormone that affects your sex glands.
