Detailed product description
Bee Pollen comes from the male flower and is of the heavy, sticky variety. Pollen is a very fine microspore from the male flower that allows the female flower to produce seed or fruit once it has been pollinated. Some pollen is lightweight and dry and is spread by the wind. Other pollen is heavy and sticky and attaches to visiting insects (like bees), which carry it from the male to the female flower.
Bee Pollen contains every known vitamin from A to K, a complete spectrum of amino acids, over 25 trace elements and 27 mineral salts (including all the essential minerals), several enzymes, and beneficial pigments like phytocyanin. Bee Pollen is uniformly rich in carotenoids, bioflavonoids and phytosterols. It is an especially rich storehouse of the B vitamins which are important in energy metabolism. Beta carotene, lycopene, beta sitosterol, quercetin, isorhamnetin, kaempferol, and rutin may also be found in Bee Pollen. Read a clinical summary on Bee Pollen...

Literature Summary and Critique
Most studies on bee pollen are small, uncontrolled human studies or animal studies. No significant clinical efficacy is reported other than that of its nutritive value.
Steben RE, Boudreaux P. The effects of pollen and protein extracts on selected blood factors and performance of athletes. J Sports Med 1978;18:221-6.
Small randomized study evaluating the effect of bee pollen supplement on 18 male high school students. Three treatment arms were established to compare bee pollen to protein extract to placebo. Following 12 weeks of training and supplementation, no effect of the bee pollen, protein extract, or placebo was seen on performance, hemoglobin, or serum electrolytes. This small study was probably incapable of detecting a statistically significant difference between treatment groups. No adverse events were reported with supplementation.
