How Beneficial Is Bee Pollen?

I'm addicted to this stuff!! Bee pollen combines 22 proteins, vitamin C, B-complex and foliate, polyunsaturated fatty acids, enzymes, and carotene – all of the major antioxidants. It helps to fight off infection, disease and it strengthens our immune system. 35g of bee pollen daily contains each of the nutrients needed by the human body to sustain life. It is known to help build up a resistance to allergies and decreasing high blood pressure. It is excellent for regulating mood and wards off colds, flus, sore throats, stomach ulcers and gum disease.
