When Foods Become 'Super'

Bee Pollen
What it is: Powder collected by bees from plants and bound with enzymes to aid digestion in their pollen sacks. The pellets are collected from the bees' legs.
How it helps:
Contains the full range of vitamins and enzymes, 27 minerals, 22 amino acids and the antioxidants which help to prevent many degenerative diseases.
French research suggests that its greatest benefit lies in helping with intestinal problems. But this was achieved only using frozen fresh pollen, rather than the standard dried pollen.
Allergy UK reports anecdotal evidence that hay fever sufferers also benefit from bee pollen. Holistic practitioners suggest slowly building up to a teaspoon a day at the approach of the hay fever season.
