Bee pollen as a dietary supplement may help us in many ways. Bee pollen is taken by many people to supplement the nutrients that are def ficient in our diet, nutrients which are important not just for raw energy, but also for their ability to remove harmful ‘free-radicals’ or toxins from our body.
Clinical tests have proven bee pollen to be eff ective in combating the eff ects of hay fever and other airborne allergens. In a clinical test, bee pollen was given to individuals su ffering from hay fever allergies. It was given over a period and was found to desensitize people from the eff ects of hay fever and other allergies.
Bee pollen may help with many conditions including obesity. Its ability to act as an appetite suppressant and also a general craving suppressant, makes it popular amongst people looking to loose weight or even quit smoking. Many athletes around the world attribute their successes in large to using bee pollen as an eff ective energy/stamina supplement. Muhammad Ali contributes his success to bee pollen and many Olympic athletes have used pollen during training.
Steve Reddick – GOLD MEDALIST on the US Relay Team at the Montreal Games 1976 says: “It gives me a lot more energy too. I used to take honey but this Bee Pollen is far better. I take 3 pills a day” Taking bee pollen may also help reduce the effects of stress and aid digestive system function.
Dr. Carlson Wade in his book ‘About Pollen’ states: “Bee pollen contains a gonadotrophic hormone similar to the pituitary hormone, gonadotrophin, which functions as a sex gland stimulant. The healing, rejuvenating and disease- fighting e ffects of this total nutrient are hard to believe, yet are fully documented. Aging, digestive upsets, prostate diseases, sore throats, acne, fatigue, sexual problems, allergies and a host of other problems have been successfully treated by the use of bee pollen”.
Pollen has been taken for centuries to assist in body system regulation and to provide a tonic for reproductive systems, male and female. Providing energy and stamina, it is also considered to assist in alleviating infertility and impotence, particularly when combined with honey and royal jelly.
A note on bee pollen and prostate disorders:- Clinical research suggests that bee pollen can reduce prostrate enlargement and painful symptoms associated with prostate disease.
Dallas Clouatre, Ph.D. is a researcher and author of ‘Flower Pollen for Prostate Health’. In his book he reports that controlled bee pollen consumption among men with prostate problems results in signi cant improvement and alleviation of symptoms. Speci fically, “less nighttime urination, improved bladder emptying, and reduced prostate discomfort”.
Dr Clouatre also says that bee pollen helps relax smooth muscle, making it easier to empty the bladder. It may also act as an anti-infl ammatory and decrease the swelling of the prostate, resulting in a better urine fl ow and reduced discomfort.
Dr. Clouatre comments that 80% of those people using pollen nd marked relief and that pollen may also forestall future problems. “Patients often report that they are no longer getting up at all during the night and that they no longer have diffi culty or discomfort upon urination.” Source includes BW HealthWire, Nampa, Idaho June 9, 2000.
A Swedish study has also concluded that bee pollen can signi ficantly aff ect infl ammation and swelling of the prostate gland. Dn Gosta Leander conducted a double-blind controlled study of 93 patients in which a placebo was given to 43 men, and bee pollen to the remaining 50. Forty-six men out of the fifty who took the bee pollen were successfully treated, while the control group did not experience any signi cant improvement.
Many experts believe that the natural hormones contained in bee pollen, along with a wide range of nutrients, magnesium, essential fatty acids and zinc, help to support the male urinary and reproductive systems. It is generally considered that men over the age of thirty could bene t from bee pollen’s ability to help prevent the onset of prostate disorders.
