Bee pollen contains nearly all of the B complex vitamins, vitamins C, A, E, folic acid, and carotenoids. It contains a wide variety of minerals and trace elements, along with essential fatty acids. It is also extremely rich in rutin (vitamin P), vital to strengthening capillaries and blood cell walls. Bee pollen targets the entire body, but is a special boost to the reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. It is antibiotic, astringent, relaxant, tonic, and nutritive. It helps to correct and stabilize our body chemistry. European studies have proven that one can live on nothing more than water and bee pollen. It contains every substance required to sustain life, plus a few the bees add themselves.
