The second most valuable organic product, after the royal jelly, offered by the bees, is the pollen of the flowers.
Thanks to its multiple ingredients, pollen has a great nutritional value. No other natural product can compete with that.
Pollen should be considered as a "pharmaceutical supplement" because of its amount of enzymes, vitamins, trace elements, flavonoids, antibiotic substances and others. All of natural origin.
The basic thing is that all these substances are in an ideal analogy.
The bee visits thousands of flowers to collect each pollen grain, after choice and at the right time, and that is when pollen is in the highest biological maturity (when it contains the highest levels of vitamins, hormones and amino acids).
The chemical composition of pollen is as follows:
- Proteins (22-40%) among them and amino acids: Valine, Tryptophan, Lysine, Methionine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Threonine, Histidine, Arginine, Glutamic Acid, Asparaginic Acid and others.
- Sugars in the form of carbohydrates nectar (30-40%)
- Vitamins B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B5 (Nicotinic acid), B6 (Pyridoxine), Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, Folic Acid, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Vitamin E, Provitamin A (that is converted into Vitamin A in our body). Vitamin P (Rutin) reaches 17% in pollen.
- Enzymes from plants as well as from salivary glands and the social stomach of bees. Amylase, Invertase, Catalase, Phosphatase etc., which are used for the fermentation of various substances in the body.
- Antibiotic ingredients derived from plants and bees.
- Biologically drastic ingredients: Flavonoids, Nucleic and Ribonucleic acids, Leucoanthocyanins, Chlorogens and Triterpenic acid and others.
- Metals and trace elements: Potassium, Chlorine, Iron, Copper, Phosphorus, Barium, Vanadium, Tungsten, Iridium, Cadmium and others.
