Bee Pollen is a mixture of different flower pollens collected by bees when they land on a flower. It doen’t only contain pollen however – it also contains saliva, nectar, and honey bee enzymes, including amylase and catalase secreted by a bee’s salivary glands. A ball of bee pollen is formed due to agglutination by nectar and enzymes.

Bee pollen is an energy and vitamin-rich food that is not only consumed by humans as a food supplement but also for alternative medicinal use. Bee pollen is termed as a superfood due to its nutritional and medicinal properties. It has an average of 54.22% carbohydrates, 21.30% protein, and 2.91% ash content. [1]

Besides these components, bee pollen also contains free amino acids, fatty acids, vitamin B-complex, minerals, and flavonoids. A daily intake of 50g of bee pollen would provide almost 50 % of the required daily intake (RDI) of essential vitamins and minerals. Bee pollens have a very high number of different antioxidants including flavonols, resveratrol, lycopene, and vitamin A, C, and E.

A variety of metabolites contained in bee pollen exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. [2] A study found that bee pollens work similar to anti-inflammatory drugs, reducing inflammation in rats. [3] They also have good effects on liver health and were found to improve healing of the liver after damage.

Bee pollens boost the immune system to fight off bacteria and viruses and also can be used as a dietary supplement to meet daily protein needs. They also are effective in decreasing stress, tiredness, and boosts blood circulation that helps in the healing process. [4]

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises…

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

The #1 Muscle That Eliminates Joint And Back Pain, Anxiety And Looking Fat

By Mike Westerdal CPT

Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?

This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)

Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.

If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
