Nutrition
Bee pollen contains all the essential components of life.
The percentage of rejuvenating elements in bee pollen remarkably
exceeds those present in brewer's yeast and wheat germ. Bee pollen
corrects the deficient or unbalanced nutrition common in the customs
of our present-day civilization of consuming incomplete foods, often
with added chemical ingredients, which expose us to physiological
problems as various as they are numerous.
Pollen is considered an energy and nutritive tonic in
Chinese medicine. Cultures throughout the world use it in a
surprising number of applications:
Pollen is also thought to protect against radiation and
to have anti-cancer qualities.

Nutrient deficiencies and all the health problems they
cause are recognized worldwide as a growing problem. Because bee
pollen contains all the nutrients needed to sustain life, it is being
used on an ever-larger scale for human nourishment and health.
Science teaches that bee pollen contains many substances that combine
to make it a healthy, nutritious, complete food. There are numerous
reports from medical experience that conclusively show the benefits
of bee pollen exceed that of a simple food item. And the bees do most
of the work.
Bee-gathered pollens are rich in proteins, free amino
acids, and vitamins, including B-complex and folic acid.
According to researchers at the Institute of Apiculture,
Taranov, Russia:
"Honeybee
pollen is the richest source of vitamins found in Nature in
a single food. Even if bee pollen had none of its other vital
ingredients, its content of rutin alone would justify taking at least
a teaspoon daily, if for no other reason than strengthening the
capillaries. Pollen is extremely rich in rutin and may have the
highest content of any source, plus it provides a high content of the
nucleics RNA and DNA ."
Bee pollen is a complete food and contains many elements
that products of animal origin do not possess. Bee pollen is richer
in proteins than any animal source. It contains more amino acids than
beef, eggs, or cheese of equal weight. Bee pollen is particularly
concentrated in all elements necessary for life.
