BRAND NAME: DV Bee Pollen

Bee pollen is a ball of pollen made by young bees when they land on a flower. It’s a mixture of pollen, saliva, and nectar or honey. Bees carry these balls back to the hive in sacs on their legs and store them in the hive’s honeycomb. The pollen then ferments into “bee bread,” which feeds a bee colony. Beekeepers collect pollen from bees by keeping a thick comb in the entrance of their hives. When bees pass through it, it knocks the pollen off their legs into a collection bin below. The bees then must go out to collect more pollen.
Bee pollen may work similarly to anti-inflammatory drugs, according to researchers. In one study Trusted Source on rats, scientists found that bee pollen extract reduced inflammation in rats with swollen paws. Research Trusted Source on mice showed bee pollen had anti-inflammatory effects when used to treat their liver disease. Bee pollen can increase blood flow to the body’s nervous system, help to reduce stress. It’s also effective for tiredness.
