We’ve had some more inquiries about the health benefits of bee pollen so here’s some more information on pollen.

If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired and wish to regain the youth and vitality you felt in your younger years then perhaps you should consider taking bee pollen.

Most if not all of us from time to time could do with extra energy and with exercise there is no better way to create energy in your body than by consuming high energy foods.

Let’s be straight about this – food is fuel… and many of us are familiar with the fuel and engine analogy! Are you still trying to fuel your engine with inferior foods or supplements?

Most of us have become accustomed to the SUKD (Standard UK Diet) which is high in meat dairy and bread and low in fruits vegetables and fresh plant foods.

If you experience regular aches and pains, are quick to temper and feel exhausted at the end of a working day you can be sure you are lacking in the nutrients your body requires!

By adding more alkaline foods like bee pollen to your diet will overtime give you the energy health and wellbeing you desire!

Most of us only know average health; few of us know abundant energy and vitality and by increasing the nutrient levels in your diet you too can begin to feel the health and wellness you deserve.

Introducing Antonio’s bee pollen…

This rare bee pollen is harvested from pristine areas in remote mountain areas of northern Spain and dried at air temperature to ensure maximum quality and minimum degradation!

An alkaline food considered by nutritionist’s to be a complete food which means it contains every nutrient our body needs to ensure maximum health and longevity. HoneyBee pollen is rich in protein carbohydrates vitamins and minerals.

This unique pollen has a diverse array of colours unlike the many run of the mill commercial pollens which are mostly freeze or heat dried all look the same and have only one colour – mainly yellow.

What are the benefits of this remarkable superfood?

Bee Pollen contains natural lecithin!

Every cell in the body depends on lecithin; it is a key building block of cell membranes and without it, they would harden. Lecithin protects cells from damage and largely comprises the protective sheaths surrounding the brain.

Bee pollen is one of the richest sources of lutin – an important element to help strengthen very small blood vessels called capillaries. These small blood vessels are vital to the circulatory system, as they are the ultimate delivery network for nutrients and waste between the organs and the bloodstream!

High in stress busting antioxidants!

When life overwhelms us anti-oxidants help us fight stress so by taking bee pollen daily you can minimise the damaging effects of stress on your mind and body!

Further benefits include:

* Increased energy and stamina.
* Increased muscle growth and muscle definition.
* Improved immune function.
* Smoother younger looking skin
* Enhanced sexuality

Bee pollen contains just about every nutrient needed by the body to recover quickly from illness and put the spring back in your step. It is a true superfood of the highest order.

It’s important to bear in mind that we cannot make any specific claims about the benefits of pollen under UK legislation and that you need to study all the information available carefully.

Also, it is very important to note that some people can have an allergic reaction to pollen.  You should take a few grains of pollen just to check that you do not have an allergic reaction.

What exactly is bee pollen?

Bee pollen is an alkaline food considered by some nutritionists to be one of the most complete foods found in nature.

Where does bee pollen come from? Honeybees collect millions of pollen grains which are microscopic in size and then bind them together with nectar.

Bee Pollen contains 55 per cent carbohydrate, 35 per cent protein, 2 per cent fatty acids and 3 per cent minerals and vitamins.

Bee Pollen contains up to 5,000 enzymes, and the phytonutrients (such as co-enzymes, bioflavonoids, phytosterols, and carotenoids) also number in the thousands.

Bee pollen contains all the essential amino acids, which make it a complete protein and is extraordinarily rich in most of the B vitamins, including folic acid (folate).

Many people regard bee pollen as having extensive health benefits It is widely used a health enhancer and energy builder by top athletes the world over.

Some naturopaths say that these unidentifiable elements may be the reason why bee pollen works remarkably well against so many diverse ameliorative conditions of ill health.

Researchers at the Institute of Apiculture, Taranov, Russia claim bee pollen to be the richest source of vitamins found in Nature.
