Hopefully after you
have finished reading this article, if you are ever asked the question,
why take this amazing substance? You can explain exactly why someone
should!
What is Bee Pollen?
When you see
bees in your garden going from plant to plant, what they are doing is
collecting pollen. The pollen sticks to tiny hairs on the bee's legs
which is then carried back to their hive. On the journey back the pollen
is mixed with saliva and turned into pollen granules. The benefits come
from these granules and are what is used in these natural pollen
supplements. These granules are full of the healthy vitamins minerals
and amino-acids.

people are starting to ask the question, why buy this natural

A Word Of Caution
Although
natural health products rarely cause any side effects, there can still
be a few and this is no different for this substance, although the
benefits of bee pollen certainly out-weigh any negatives.
If you
have any concerns, then it is important that you consult a doctor or
health practitioner prior to starting a course of this substance.
Some
mild side effects that may occur could be the following: Nausea, skin
rash, stomach upset. If you start experiencing any of these then stop
taking it immediately.
One major side effect that has been
reported is an allergic reaction to the pollen itself. This usually
appears in people who are allergic to bee stings. It is therefore
advised that if you are allergic to any kind of venom, especially bee
stings, then these supplements should be avoided.
It is also
advised that pregnant or nursing women do not take pollen supplements,
due to there not being enough studies into what effect it may have on an
unborn child.
