Often called 'nature's perfect food,' bee pollen is one of the most nutritionally complete substances on Earth. This tiny golden granule packs an extraordinary nutritional punch that has been valued for thousands of years.
What is Bee Pollen?
Bee pollen consists of flower pollen, nectar, enzymes, honey, wax, and bee secretions. As bees travel from flower to flower, they collect pollen on their legs, forming small pellets that they carry back to the hive. These pellets are then harvested by beekeepers using special traps.
Nutritional Profile
Bee pollen contains over 250 biologically active substances, including:
- All essential amino acids (more protein than any animal source by weight)
- Vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, E, and K
- Minerals including calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron
- Enzymes and co-enzymes
- Antioxidants and flavonoids
- Healthy fatty acids
