Bee pollen has many therapeutic uses and is found in different forms. It is available in powdered forms, granules, tablets and capsules.
Capsules contain other bee products themselves such as royal jelly, propolis and honey.
Pollens that come from multiple sources contain more nutrients than single source pollens. But always begin with the lowest dosage and gradually increase throughout time. Bee pollen is rich in minerals and vitamins, including calcium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, zinc, riboflavin, thiamin and vitamins A,B6,C,D,E and K, and including 12 different unsaturated fatty acids. It also contains biotin, a vitamin that is important for the skin, hair and nails. The bees collect pollen using their jaws.
