FAQ – Cosmo 100% Natural Bee Pollen
1. What are the unique features of Cosmo 100% Natural Bee Pollen?
Taiwan is the world’s most ideal location for bee-farming. The Tropic of Cancer gives Alishan, a mountain situated in central Taiwan, its subtropical climate with a rich diversity of nectariferous plants. As an island surrounded by ocean, constant sea breezes from the southwest also help nectar secretion. In addition, a multitude of nectariferous plants give Taiwanese honey its unique, rich and distinctive taste. Taiwan’s rich landscape, which includes plains, hills and high mountains, provide a home for a rich diversity of subtropical nectariferous plants. Different from bee pollen imported from abroad, which mainly originate from nectariferous plants, bee pollen in Taiwan is mostly from fruit, which provides a natural taste. Bee pollen collected from a wide variety of nectariferous plants makes Taiwanese bee pollen a highly-nutritious food that contains rich botanic nutrients.
Cosmo Bee pollen (or simply pollen) contains over 200 kinds of nutrients. Almost every kind of nutrient can be found in pollen. The presence of natural and active nutrients such as vitamin B, zinc, selenium, flavone (anti-inflammation), rutin (anti-inflammation), choline (liver protection) and DNA/RNA (growth and development; 6 times more than milk and eggs) has earned bee pollen its reputation as “ the most ideal natural food” and the “concentrated nutritious treasure from nature”!! These natural and active nutrients that are preserved in pollen give Cosmo bee pollen its exquisite quality as its absorption rate (80%) is way better than artificial bee pollen (30%). Multi-vitamins that are sold on the market these days are generally artificial vitamins that have a less satisfactory absorption rate than cracked-cell pollen.
2. Why pollen collected by bees is so special?
The answer is simple: any body capable of reproduction should be rich and contain all the nutrients necessary for life. A pellet (pelota) pollen contains between 100,000 and 5,000,000,000 of microscopic grains of pollen, each in part, able to ensure its reproduction plant species.
3. What is Cosmo bee pollen?
The Cosmo Bee Pollen is a yellow powder microscopic grains produced by phanerogams stamens, the male reproductive cells of the flowers. The Bee collects the pollen from the anthers of stamens and with the bee saliva rich in special enzymes and mixed with nectar. The Bee Pollen contains a lot of different vitamins, and different enzymes and hormones as well as many essential amino acids. Thus, bee pollen is considered as one of the natural healthiest nutrients super food. It had been used for thousands of years as a nutritional supplement, drug, refreshing, indicated for maintaining youth and vitality, to stimulate the body to fight disease and to confer a sense of well-general.
Cosmo Bee pollen (or simply pollen) contains over 200 kinds of nutrients. Because almost every kind of nutrient can be found in pollen, it is also known as the “most ideal natural food” and a “concentrated nutritious treasure from nature”. Pollen contains many nutrients because it is a type of DNA that is made from plant sperm, seed and growth. Vital to plant growth, pollen is naturally protected by a hard outer layer known as its “cell wall” to prevent external damage.
Bee pollen is known as a “natural vitamin complex” and is nature’s most complete source of nutrients, incorporating a rich vitamin complex, proteins, amino acids, natural antimicrobial substances, enzymes, minerals, microelements, and over 200 natural, active nutrients. Pollen contains almost every known kind of nutrition that there is. Pollen can increase stamina, reduce fatigue, promote appetite, help digestion, and promote metabolism to preserve health and beauty.
Bee Pollen is one of the richest and purest natural foods ever discovered, and the incredible nutritional and medicinal value of pollen has been known for centuries. Pollen grains contain the male germ cells (elements) that are produced by all plants, flowers or blossoms. This is essential in order to ensure that plant life throughout the world continues by a process involving fertilization and plant embryo formation. Pollen contains the richest known source of vitamins, minerals, proteins amino acids, hormones, enzymes and fats, as well as significant quantities of natural antibiotics. Most of the known vitamins in pollen exist in perfect proportion, which further enhances their value. Bee pollen contains up to 59 different trace minerals, and all minerals found in pollen are present in a highly digestible form.
4. What is so special about Cosmo Bee Pollen?
How is it different from other brand’s Bee pollen?
Bee Pollen must undergo a wall-cracking process before it can be fully absorbed. Bee pollen is the most ideal natural food. However, it is covered with a hard and impenetrable cell wall. Even strong stomach acids cannot completely break the cell wall in untreated pollens. One cannot fully absorb pollen nutrients by ingesting untreated pollen. As shown in the analysis reports, Cosmo Taiwanese Bee Pollen has reached an astonishing 85% in its wall-cracking rate in order to enable full absorption of the precious pollen nutrients.
Cosmo natural bee pollen is manufactured different from traditional method. Our manufacturing processes focuses on both quality control and food safety. The manufacturing processes begin with inspection on the source and location of bee farming to ensure that the bee farmers subscribe to healthy and sustainable bee farming. Each batch of bee pollen collected from the bee farm is then tested for heavy metal contamination, chemicals and pesticides using the most advanced equipment. The inspected bee pollen are then manufactured using the most advanced automated production equipment in a HACCP/ISO22000 food facilities. The Cosmo brand of natural bee pollen has satisfied criteria in all aspects of sanitation, safety, and purity.
(a) The Safety monitor and control which include Passing inspection for 202 types of pesticide residue, Passing inspection for three types of heavy metal residue, Passing inspection for nine types of antibiotics, as well as the German stable isotope inspection.
(b) The Purity monitor and control which include Passing the Taiwan CNS standard, Passing the Mainland China TLC standard, SM-R standard, C4 standard, the Pollen particle inspection, and the Amylase inspection.
5. How is your bee pollen produced? What technology is employed?
The bee pollen gathered for human consumption requires careful processing techniques, including drying, cleaning and sorting and cracking. Precious nutrients contained in bee pollen is protected by a hard layer of plant cell wall. As evidenced by lab experiments, the human digestive system is unable to fully decompose the pollen cell wall. Not only will non-cracked pollen be unable to provide all of its precious nutrients, it can also sometimes result in stomachaches for those with weak stomachs. For this reason, pollen must undergo a wall-cracking process.
Cosmo bee pollen absorption rate in cracked-cell pollen is 20 times more than ordinary pollen (pollen grains). As compared to other ordinary bee pollen will stay in the digestive system for approximately 15 minutes after intake. Even strong acids like stomach acids cannot completely decompose the outer membrane of such pollen, resulting in only a 5% intake of the pollen’s nutrition. The intake of just ONE bottle of cracked-cell pollen is equivalent to 20 bottles of ordinary bee pollen.
The Cosmo cracked-Cell Bee Pollen is the most perfect natural food because it contains (a) Vitamin B complex, zinc, selenium, SOD, proanthocyanidins; which will provides healthy and smooth skin and reduces wrinkles, and anti-aging properties; enhances male sexual functions (natural Viagra); (b) DNA/RNA, flavonones, rutin, lecithin, inositol, choline (6 times more compared to milk and eggs), which will help to prevents atherosclerosis, reduces cholesterol level, helps growth and development, enhances immunity, maintains normal cardiovascular functions, and a natural antibiotic.
6. What beneficial effects does Cosmo Bee Pollen have on human body?
Firstly, the therapeutic and nutritional value of bee pollen is evident in many types of nutritional deficiencies. The bee pollen has a complex chemical composition, predominantly protein, reducing sugars and or not, simple and complex lipids, vitamins, enzymes, minerals, bactericidal and bacteriostatic action principles, hormone-related substances, phytohormones, pigments such as carotenoids and flavonoids. It is especially rich in B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12), antioxidants, including beta carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E, folic acid, provitamin A. It also contains minerals like pollen: phosphorus, calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, iodine. Pollen is composed of approximately 55% carbohydrates, 35% protein, 3% vitamins and minerals, 2% fatty acids and 5% other nutrients. Contains two times more protein than beef and manages to have a very low fat content.
Secondly, Cosmo pure bee pollen is the most natural energy-boosting supplement. It contains natural unique nutritional contents, the sole source of energy for cellular activities and cranial nerves. Cosmo Bee Pollen greatly assists the following physiological functions: (a) accelerates the growth of healthy new cells and promotes increased tissue repair; (b) enhances greater toxic elimination and reduces excessive cholesterol and high blood pressure; (c) promotes increased resistance to infection and stabilizes the entire nervous system, and restores normal and healthy appetites; (d) regulates all the systemic biological functions and retards normal aging effects, and prolongs youthfulness; (e) promotes increased concentration/memory improvement, enhances sexual activity; (f) promotes increased strength, vigor and vitality and provides increased stamina, endurance and energy-levels.
Thirdly, Cosmo bee pollen allows significantly increased amounts of oxygen to reach the brain and the cells in general, thereby resulting in improved overall health and mental capabilities. Pollen will also accelerate increased tissue repair throughout the entire organism, thereby making it extremely effective in the removal of scar tissue following surgical operations. Bee pollen displays amphoteric (regulatory) properties in order to restore equilibrium and harmony to all the bodily functions. Pollen will reduce any excess body weight during conditions involving obesity or overweight, while increasing body weight during any underweight conditions. Bee pollen is extremely effective in small doses, and its overall effects are usually quite prolonged. When employed either alone or combined with other therapies, pollen has been extremely successful for many ailments or disease-conditions.
Fourthly, some of bee pollen’s most unique nutritional contents are as follow:
(a) Propolis Flavonoids. Propolis Flavonoids are powerful natural antibiotics that work against inflammation, viruses, and cancer! According to medical research and reports, daily intake of berries such as strawberries and blueberries can help preserve health due to their natural antibiotic substances. Propolis Flavonoids are also excellent for flu and early-stage en(b) Rutin. Rutin has the same effect as Propolis Flavonoids. They both work against inflammation.
(c) Proanthocyanidin. Proanthocyanidin is a form of powerful antioxidant currently known to help prevent cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Recent research further evidenced proanthocyanidin’s effects in type II diabetes prevention, as well as its effect in helping diabetes patients control their blood glucose concentration. Initial test results on animals show that proanthocyanidin can help reduce glucose levels in diabetes patients.
(d) Lecithin. Lecithin is required in every living human cell because the majority of the cell membrane, which regulates nutrient access, is made of lecithin. Designed to protect the cell from oxidation, a lack of lecithin will result in the hardening of the cell membrane. Mesangial cells found in the brain exterior are also composed of lecithin. The presence of such essential amino acids can also be found in muscles and nerve cells. Lecithin is composed of 4 essential elements: unsaturated fatty acid, choline, glycerin, and phosphorus. Although “choline” may sound unfamiliar to most people, it is, nevertheless, a very important substance heavily regarded by recent scientists as acetylcholine, a substance that combines choline and acetyl, which is used for transmissions between cranial nerves. An insufficient intake of acetylcholine is found to be one of the primary reasons for autonomic disorders and Alzheimer’s disease. Lecithin is also very effective against autonomic disorders caused by reduced hormone secretion in postmenopausal women. The five primary functions of lecithin: (i) Dissolves cholesterol (good for weight management); (ii) Helps promote active cellular activity and recovery; (iii) Activates brain functions and prevents Alzheimer’s disease; (iv) Works well with Vitamin E; (v) Emulsifies fats to effectively prevent milk duct blockage and mastitis.
(e) Zinc. Zinc is an important element in sperm and a crucial microelement for liver detoxification.
(f) Selenium. Selenium can help suppress inflammation of the prostate gland and is closely related to prostate gland health. An anti-oxidant and cancer-fighting mineral, selenium can reduce the chances of getting prostate cancer in males by half or even two-thirds. Selenium’s anti-oxidation effect is 50 to 100 times more powerful than vitamin E and can help prevent cardiovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis, heart disease, myocardial infraction and cerebral thrombosis.
(g) Vitamin B complex - Rich, natural inositol. A type of vitamin B, most rich inositol content can be found in nervous cell membranes carrying out normal nervous cell activities. Like choline, inositol is also an important element for providing brain cells with essential nutrients. Inositol combined with choline forms a type of substance called a “flavonoid”. Since both are lipotropic vitamins, inositol and choline can emulsify fat to help fat and cholesterol metabolism. Like choline, inositol can also scatter and remove fat to avoid fatty liver disease (FLD) due to fat deposits in the liver. Inositol is also crucial for women that yearn to have a child.
(h) Vitamins B2, B3, B6, B9, B12. Play a crucial role in growth and development. Regulate protein synthesis in amino acids; Maintain nerve system health; Help substance (hormone) synthesis; Maintain good skin condition. Essential for the formation of rapid growth cells (including the formation of hemoglobin in bone marrow, white blood cells, intestinal endothelial cells and hair follicles). Essential substance required for cellular growth and repair.
(i) Superoxide Dismutase (SOD. A healthy human being can reproduce nearly 5 million units of SOD to help the body utilize zinc, copper and magnesium. Reduced SOD concentrations due to aging will lead to an increase of free radicals. SOD is the body’s first line of defense against free radicals. After inhaling oxygen, free radicals formed during metabolism must be removed to avoid causing chain reactions in the body. Free radicals are the main culprits for cellular damage, aging and disease.
7. How does bee pollen slow down our aging process?
Bee pollen (or simply pollen) contains over 200 kinds of nutrients. Almost every kind of nutrient can be found in pollen and this will help to slow down the process of aging. The first most ideal group for bee pollen intake are those that are stressed out from work, this is because the zinc and selenium found in bee pollen are especially good for those that need an energy boost. The second most ideal group are those seeking for beauty and anti-aging, this is because the 450,000 SOD units in bee pollen can help to improve beauty and slow down aging. In addition, Vitamin B complex can improve skin and serve as an iron supplement, and Flavones help burn fat.
The third most ideal group for bee pollen intake are Children. Please note that (children under 3 are prohibited from eating ALL types of bee products due to an underdeveloped digestive track. Ingesting bee products can result in diarrhea and allergic reactions). Bee pollen’s rich, natural nutrients are especially suitable for developing kids or kids with a poor appetite. This is because children nowadays tend to show distaste for fruits and vegetables, resulting in frequent canker sores due to a severe lack of vitamin B complex intake.
The fourth most ideal group for bee pollen intake are as a nutritious supplement for seniors. This is because the bodily and organic degeneration in seniors requires more natural nutrients to make up for hormonal and nutrient deficiencies. SOD can help fight aging while zinc and selenium show a significant health preservation effect in aging.
Certain enzymes are also present in bee pollen, and are the essential biological catalysts for slowing down the aging process (pollen also aids in the proper digestion of other foods). The enzymes found in bee pollen include amylase, catalase, cozymase, cytochrome, dehydrogenase, diaphorase, diastase, lactic acids, pectase and phosphatase.
8. What are the conditions that can be prevented by bee pollen?
Stroke - is prevented by daily consumption of pollen. Responsible for this quality is, in the opinion of specialists, an amino acid content of pollen routine that has a toning effect on blood vessels. Same amino acid, and bowel control effects it has pollen makes it have a positive effect in preventing and combating varicose veins and hemorrhoids.
Enlarged prostate - three parallel studies done by researchers from Stockholm (Sweden), Kyoto (Japan) and Munich (Germany) showed that treatment with bee pollen gives exceptional results in the treatment of prostate adenoma in the acute phase, but also in chronic form. Researchers from the three cities have also observed a considerable improvement in potency patients who undergo this treatment with pollen. According to the same research, is the best long-term treatment (60 days minimum) with this remedy, taken in amounts of at least 10 grams per day, in combination with another product of honey, royal jelly (100 mg daily).
Alzheimer's (disease) - the nervous system aging processes are slowed by amino acids, vitamins, minerals and enzymes in pollen composition. To prevent Alzheimer's and other neurological disorders associated with aging is advisable to carry a 3-4 year course with pollen of one month each, during which daily consume ten - twenty grams of pollen.
Anemia, metabolic and hormonal disorders in adolescents - three successive research done at the University Hospital of Sarajevo, the groups of patients aged between 15 and 24 years, showed that pollen has an amazing influence in correcting specific problems of this age. Long course of its administration significantly reduces the incidence of juvenile acne, has a regulating effect on more than half of the cases of dysmenorrhea, stimulate the production of hemoglobin. Same exceptional results were obtained in this field of disorders that occur during puberty and adolescence, the two researchers Romans, G. and F. Calcaianu Cozma, which patients with a mixture of pollen, honey and royal jelly. In fact, several studies of the two Romanian researchers on bee products are often cited in international literature.
Atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, disorders of cerebral circulation - in all these disorders demonstrated an intense action of pollen administered systematically. Its active principles helps restore elasticity of blood vessels, reduce negative cholesterol, improves cerebral circulation. Pollen mixed with honey is taken in doses specified above, in the section on the use of this product.
Cancer - Ernesto Contrera his opinion, an American medical doctor specializing in oncology: "There is no product, natural or synthetic, which can be compared with bee pollen in preventing cancer disease." Indeed, the content of vitamins and enzymes that regulate digestion and metabolism of times that stimulates immunity produced pollen is an excellent prophylaxis against cancer. We recommend a minimum of three courses of one month with bee pollen in doses appropriate for each one and set out in paragraph where I talked about the use of this product.
Uterine and breast cancer - Dr. Peter Hernuss, University Hospital of Vienna, observed results by taking bee pollen in a group of 25 women suffering from inoperable uterine cancer. The results were encouraging: after a few weeks of systematic administration of this product (10-20 grams per day), there was reduction of symptoms such as mental and physical fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite. Blood tests showed an increase in immune action in the sense destruction lumps, enhance objectivity by increased production of immunocompetent cells and the production of specific antibodies. Another study, this time made of Sarajevo University Hospital, showed that women with uterine and mammary tumors who were much better tolerated cobalt kind of therapy extremely harsh side effects when consumed daily pollen. Also, their body fight disease better cancer following administration of this product.
Constipation and other bowel disorders - certain active substances in pollen stimulates the entire digestive tract, with a very interesting effect regulating transit. Research done in the 70s showed that pollen combat constipation, but is also effective in cases of diarrhea and intestinal infections, antibiotics containing substances that regulate intestinal flora. According to a French study published in the journal "La Revue de Pathologie et de Physiologie Clinique Generale", this product is effective and the bee digestive tract infections with Escherichia coli or Proteus. It is administered in short courses of 7-14 days, one teaspoon before each meal.
Depression and neurasthenia - in the 80s several experiments were conducted with patients suffering from chronic depression and various forms of mental fatigue, studies that led to the conclusions encouraging. More than 30% of those taking pollen for three months gradually noticed an increase in tone inside, a tendency to engage in creative activities, and a clear decrease depressive thoughts and trends. It may seem a small percentage, but rivals that of some synthetic drugs considered among the best in terms of the adverse effects of pollen are insignificant in comparison with those of allopathic psychotropic medication.
Infertility in men - a study done at the University Hospital in Sarajevo (ex-Yugoslavia) by Izet Osmanagic Doctor of Medicine, showed without doubt that regular consumption of pollen leads to an increase in the activity of the gonads, increases sperm production, and and their improvement. Recent studies German and Swedish made on a sample of 93 men showed that the pollen cure infertility and impotence in men prevented due to age, but also by different stressors (physical or mental), such as pollution, deficiencies in nutrition, prolonged emotional tension, insufficient rest, etc..
Growth delays in children - a study of a children's hospital in Cordoba (Spain) showed that daily administration of five to ten grams of pollen promotes the development and strengthening bones, accelerates development of the nervous system and helps enhance cognitive functions of the small. Pollen is recommended even where already appeared a retardation of physical and mental development of children.
Obesity - a great help in fighting this scourge of civilized world really is bee pollen. It regulates bowel movement, favoring elimination, stimulates metabolism, helping to better "burn" calories. This product is very valuable in the treatment of weight gain and tone that give more physically and mentally, plus that will make exercise easier approach, which are necessary for the disease.
9. Are there any contraindications to bee pollen?
Pollen seems to be secure in administration and everyone is suitable for the bee pollen, although experts remain rather reserved when it comes to recommending pollen for a specific disease. The bee pollen when given for a specific condition often stimulate body functions as a whole. This property is given by the complex composition that each grain of pollen is able to generate a new being. Pollen may be involved in the occurrence of major allergic phenomena. If there are food allergies, experts recommend that pollen be avoided. However, due to the diversity of allergies, even modern medical science cannot clearly specify the causes of allergies, so be cautious.
10. Is the bee pollen suitable for children and pregnant/lactating women?
Developing children (children under 3 are prohibited from eating ALL types of bee products due to an underdeveloped digestive track. Ingesting bee products can result in diarrhea and allergic reactions).
11. Which age group or group of persons is the bee pollen most suitable for?
(a) Health preservation requires the intake of not just one but many kinds of nutrients. Many people tend to purchase numerous types of health food but only take what is the most popular nutrient at the time. This is not an appropriate method for maintaining health because the human body is a complex system that only functions at its fullest with sufficient nutritional intake. Like running a car, many of us think that the car will run as long as the tank is full. However, the car will not operate without devices such as batteries and spark plugs. Similarly, the body requires a balanced diet; the sole intake of Vitamin B cannot serve as a complete source of nutrition.
(b) Pollen is most suitable for men and children (except for Children under three will not consume pollen), particularly men, due to the zinc (sexual function), selenium (prostate gland), and choline (liver protection) found in bee pollen. DNA/RNA (growth and development), vitamins and minerals are extremely helpful for child growth and development. In addition, people with liver problems and children between three and eight years will consume more than 5 grams (1 teaspoon) per day; for Children between eight and twelve years will consume 10 grams (2 teaspoons) per day; for children between twelve and fifteen years can consume 12-15 grams each (one tablespoon) per day; for adults and adolescents can consume up to 25-30 grams (2 tablespoons) per day.
(c) The Cosmo bee pollen can be considered an excellent source of protein for vegetarians, are very rich in essential amino acids. In terms of nutrient analysis, pollen is one of, if not the most complete natural nutrient. 30 grams of pollen brought the body about 28 calories. Of these 30 grams, 7 grams are carbohydrate, 15% is lecithin, 25% protein of the highest quality.
12. How do we recognize good bee pollen?
Inspect the pollen appearance, especially the glow – it should be light yellowish or gold colour and not have dull colors, even if in it there are some dark granules. It must not taste sour (which means it got wet, it is very toxic) and do not have any burnt taste (which means it was dry poorly and has no value). The food pollen taste is sweet and aromatic. The very best is the freshly cracked bee pollen, which is soft and easy to consume.
13. How do we keep bee pollen?
It is best to keep in the tightly sealed container to avoid moisture and prevents shoot oxidation and accelerated degradation of its active principles. It is also possible you in the dark, because light leads to a more rapid loss of its therapeutic qualities. Ideally pollen to be stored at a temperature of 0-4 ° C (in a refrigerator), because in it there very often eggs, larvae, which can develop rapidly.
14. What is the best way to consume bee pollen?
Approximately 35 grams of pollen each day will supply all the body's protein requirements. However, only 25 grams of pollen ingested daily will sustain a person in terms of providing sufficient amounts of each of the essential amino acids.
A dosage of from 15 to 20 grams (one-half ounce) will usually meet the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for adults. Approximately 30 to 32 grams are necessary in order to anabolically strengthen and tone a person, whereas anywhere from 15 to 20 grams are essential for the proper maintenance of good health in active adults. Children from 3 to 5 years of age require 12 grams of pollen, while those from 6 to 12 years need 16 grams daily.
The daily dose can be increased up to 35 grams (1 ounce equals 28 grams), considering the differences in age, weight and overall state of health. This dosage will also provide greater preventative maintenance against a lack of essential amino acids.
Do not begin using bee pollen with a dose larger than 1 tablespoonful, twice a day. After one week, gradually increase the dosage from 1 tablespoonful up to 4 tablespoonfuls (1 tablespoonful equals
approximately one-fourth ounce). One ounce of bee pollen (4 tablespoonfuls) is equivalent to three cooked meals in terms of nutrient content.
While this small dosage acts as a mild hypotensive, it also possesses stimulant properties and may upset your gastro-intestinal system if taken in large quantities during the initial stages (due to its powerful cleansing effects).
Pollen should be ingested preferably on an empty stomach, and there is no danger of toxicity from ingesting it (as it is an unadulterated product).
Pollen should be kept refrigerated or stored in a cool, dry place at all times in order to protect its vital qualities. Cooking is not advisable, due to the destruction of essential enzymes caused by excessive heat.
Bee pollen should be consumed in its pure form at least 30 minutes before meals, especially if it is being used for the purpose of losing excess weight. It can also be mixed with honey, thereby producing a candy substitute if made into cakes and dried under direct sunlight. Pollen also becomes a healthy substitute for mother's milk when combined with nut milks, such as almond milk. It can also be blended into fruit or vegetable dressing, or you can dissolve pollen in your favorite herb tea, fruit or vegetable juice (e.g., pineapple and tomato juice blend well together). Pollen may also be sprinkled onto ice cream, granola, sandwiches or salads, or take a banana and dip it directly into the pollen. You may also wish to dissolve 1 teaspoonful of pollen and 1 teaspoonful of honey in a cup of hot water and drink before breakfast.
15. How is bee pollen different from the royal jelly enzyme or bee larva?
Pollen is superior to both honey and royal jelly, and possesses a similar (but more stable) composition to that of royal jelly. The overall stability of bee pollen is more advantageous when used in dietetics, as well as an effective form of skin care during corrective dermatology. Since pollen contains fatty acids, this may account for its favorable effect upon the skin and dermal tissues. The anti-fungal action in human perspiration is due to the presence of certain fatty acids such as caprylic, propionic and undecyclenic acids. Many of the active ingredients in bee pollen consist of substances (such as hormones) that accelerate plant growth.
