As those around me go on about their over-marketed mass produced multivitamin that they take every morning, I continue to take my bee pollen vitamin. Though it may sound odd and a bit off the wall to be taking a bee pollen vitamin to ensure that my nutritional needs are met, the fact of the matter is that bee pollen is a natural source of each and every nutrient that we human beings need to survive. Proteins, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals can all be found packed into these tiny pollen granules that come from the plants and flowers that bees pollinate.
The History of the Bee Pollen Vitamin
If you think that taking a bee pollen vitamin for your nutritional needs is some new fad, think again. Bee pollen has been used by the Chinese for thousands of years as an herbal medicine. They recognized long ago that the nutrients found in a bee pollen vitamin help build up one’s immune system and that it keeps us healthy.
As the bee pollen vitamin becomes more widely recognized by Western physicians and health practitioners, scientists have set about trying to create a synthetic version of bee pollen – only to have no success. The synthetic pollen that was created for testing was fed to worker bees, resulting in those bees dying within a week’s time. No science thus far has been able to replicate and produce what can literally be viewed as a “dust” which contains 97 nutrients, all of which we need and benefit from.
What Is Bee Pollen?
Pollen is a dusty substance that can be found in flowering plants. As bees move from flower to flower to gather nectar, this fine dust (pollen) collects on their legs. The pollen is collected for human consumption by bee keepers who set up a specialized grate in front of the honeycomb or hive. As the bees enter the hive, the pollen is then brushed off of their legs and is gathered to be made into a bee pollen vitamin.
