Premium Bulk Natural Bee Pollen Granules Gluten Free Bee Food

Bee pollen is recovered in the hive, and bees bring back fermented pollen balls when they collect honey. Bee pollen is the male seed of a flower that is collected by bees and mixed with the bees' digestive enzymes. It is a mixture of sticky pollen grains, each of which can contain up to 5 million pollen spores. It is considered one of the most complete foods because it contains high amounts of essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Bee pollen is used around the world as a daily supplement for energy and health. Bee pollen is also a major source of protein for bees and is also widely used as a nutritional supplement in animal feed.

Bee Pollen Nutrition:

15-25% amino acids, up to 40% carbohydrates, 5% fatty oils, up to 35% protein

Physical properties of bee pollen

Bee pollen grains are oval in shape and 10 to 150 microns in size. When bees collect pollen from flower plants, they mix it with salivary gland secretions and nectar, soak it in honey to make particles (balls) with a size of 1-2mm and a mass of 5-6mg. The importance of pollen to a colony is enormous. It is used as food, for feeding larvae, and for the production of wax and royal jelly. A well-developed colony consumes an average of about 30 kg of pollen per year. About 20% of the pollen (6 kg/year) can be collected without harmful effects on the bee family. This is done using a special device called a "pollen trap".

Chemical Constituents of Bee Pollen

Pollen has been shown to contain 20 of the 23 known amino acids. The content of amino acids bound to albumin is the same as that of free amino acids, as follows: cysteine, tryptophan, alanine, serine, threonine, proline, valine, lysine, arginine, Histidine, Glycine, Glutamate, Phenylalanine, Leucine, Isoleucine. It was also confirmed using chromatography that pollen lipids consist of free saturated fatty acids, namely: palmitic, myristic and lauric acids, traces of monoglycerides and unsaturated fatty acids and triglycerides. Among the biologically active minerals, Ca, Fe, P, Mg, Co have been identified, and hormonal substances have been found in certain species of pollen. The following vitamins are found in many pollen mixtures: thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6), niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, ascorbic acid (C). Proviatamin (A), the so-called carotene, vitamin R (rutin) and vitamins E and D were also found. Through detailed analysis, it was determined that the pollen of many plants contained: silicon, sulfur, copper, cobalt, sodium, iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, barium, silver, zinc, chromium, strontium and other trace elements. It consists of many albumins and free amino acids, catalase, which is important for the body, and certain organic acids, malic, tartaric, and lactic. When bees store pollen in their honeycombs, the material changes dramatically after a few weeks due to the fermented products expelled by the bees. Fresh pollen and honeycomb pollen differ in their chemical composition and nutritional properties. Albumin and fat mass decreased and lactic acid mass increased. Sugars also increase in size, depending on what kind of pollen the bees add during preservation.

therapeutic properties

Pollen contains a variety of precious substances, many of which act as biocatalysts in the human body, and pollen has begun to be used as a treatment. It turns out that pollen shows very good effects in cases of anemia, premature aging, arterial hypertension, arteriosclerosis, brain sclerosis, digestive problems, it increases appetite and work capacity, normalizes stomach function. Recommended for anyone who has been exposed to X-ray radiation or treated with high doses of antibiotics. In fact, pollen contains everything an organism needs. In the arsenal of natural medicines, pollen and royal jelly are considered a very popular tool with several healing properties and many health benefits.
