Bee Pollen Granules

Bee Pollen

It’s allergy season once again, along with the stuffiness, sneezing, and itchy nose and eyes it brings. If you suffer from these symptoms, getting relief from them may be at the top of your to-do list.

What is bee pollen?

It's actually food. High in protein, as well as other antioxidants and vitamins, it is one of nature’s perfect superfoods. Bees go from flower to flower collecting pollen to bring back to the hive where they create the granules. No bees are harmed in the process of collecting bee pollen from the hives.

How does bee pollen help allergies?

An allergy happens when your body develops an immune response to an allergen, creating antibodies. These antibodies then activate certain receptors on your cells to release histamine, resulting in an allergic reaction (puffy eyes, runny nose, etc). Bee pollen actually reduces histamine, which is the same target over -the-counter medications act upon. It can be effective for a wide range of respiratory diseases, ranging from asthma to chronic sinus infections.

How do I take bee pollen?

Start gradually (½ tsp.) a day and work your way up to 1-3 tablespoons by the end of four weeks.
