Bee Pollen Benefits
rd411.com

Bee pollen is produced by bees from a combination of flower pollen and nectar.

Been pollen is advertised for treatment of alcoholism, allergies, poor appetite, asthma, benign prostatic hypertrophy, cancer, constipation, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, premenstrual syndrome and hot-flashes during menopause, prostatic conditions, and wounds. When pregnant rats were given bee pollen, fetuses with higher birth weights and decreased death rates resulted. Its usefulness for general maintenance of health and improved strength and stamina also is implied.

The research
Aside from the nutrients that bee pollen provides, clinical data do not support any other benefits. Bee pollen is rich in vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes, and amino acids. It consists of approximately 30% protein, 55% carbohydrate, 1%-2% fat, and 3% minerals and trace elements.

Advertisers of bee pollen often mention components, such as antioxidants, which are, in fact, poorly understood by experts at this time. Most studies completed on bee pollen are small, uncontrolled, human or animal studies. No studies have shown any effect on athletic performance from consumption of bee pollen.

Cernilton, an extract of bee pollen, is used for the treatment of prostatic conditions and appears to relax urethral smooth muscle tone, increase bladder muscle contractions, and relax internal and external sphincter muscles. However, these studies are possibly limited by their short duration, small sample size, and questionable standardization of preparations.

Warnings
Individuals who are allergic to bee venom, honey, ragweed, or chrysanthemum should not take bee pollen. Rarely, bee pollen has caused serious and sometimes fatal adverse reactions. Acute hepatitis and photosensitivity following ingestion of bee pollen also are reported.

Reminder that it might be time for you to get your spine checked. It is important to let LIFE flow from your BRAIN to your BODY, free from SUBLUXATIONs. FYI, I sometimes include articles that are less natural than I practice for information!

About Our Practice
860 561-LIFE (5433) Traditionally, Chiropractic is all about allowing LIFE to flow from the Brain to the Body without any choking, or squeezing on the brainstem and spinal cord by vertebral subluxation. This is not a little pinched nerve we are talking about. These are the ones that won't go away on their own in a day or a week. These are the ones that will choke the life out of you for years and affect the ability of you and your loved ones to live a healthy life. I still like this explanation! It tells you that your spine is important and effects so much that your spine needs to be clear of any interference to movement and nerve flow for you to be your best, happiest, healthiest you! You can need a chiropractor without symptoms and you should get checked even if you have no symptoms. Still, most people reading this already know they should hurry up and find some help so they can get back on the road to health!
