Recently, I spoke with Dr. Harvey Cohen about bee pollen. He has been adding it to his high quality bird, dog, cat, and horse food he produces for the last 22 years. I have compiled this short summary gathered from information written by Dr. John Christopher, Dr. Bernhard Jensen, Dr. Maurice Hansen, Dr. Naum J.Loirich, Dr. Alicia McWatters and many more.

Bee pollen is a complete food. Its benefits to humans has been known since ancient times. Studies have shown that it meets all nutritional needs of humans and most animals. More and more bird owners and breeders recognize its value. Bee pollen is the male reproductive part of every plant. It contains the DNA and RNA of the plant. According to some researchers eating food rich in genetic material, like DNA and RNA, speeds up the process of healing.

Bee pollen is a whole food supplement that contains (found by French, British and American researchers) at least 130 substances of nutritional significance. The high quality protein exceeds the amount in beef or chicken. Bee pollen is composed of about 50% carbohydrates, rich in fatty acids, almost all known minerals, amino acids, enzymes, trace elements, vitamins like B complex, A,C,D,E, beta carotene, an antibiotic potent against E.coli. 

Bee Pollen Contains:
Vitamins: Vitamin A, B1 Thiamin, B2 Riboflavin, B3 Niacin, B6 Group, Vitamin B complex, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, B12, Folic Acid, Choline, Inositol, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, and Rutin. 

Minerals: Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulphur, Sodium, Chlorine, Iron, Manganese, Copper, Iodine, Zinc, Silicon, Molybdenum, Boron, Titanium, Magnesium.

Enzymes: Amylase, Diastase, Saccarase, Pectase, Phosphatase, Catalase, Disphorase, Cozymase, Cytochrome, Lactic, Dehydrogenase, Succiniohydrogenase, 24 Oxido-Reductases, 21 Transferases, 33 Hydrolases, 11 Lyases, 5 Isomerases, Pepsin, Trypsin. 

Amino Acids: Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Thereonine, Alanine, Valine, Histidine, Arginine, Cystine, Aspartic Acid, Phenylalanine, Proline, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Serine, Tryptophan, Tyrosine.

Others: Nucleic Acids, Flavinoids, Phenolic Acids, Tarpenes, Nucleosides, Fructose, Fructose, Gibberellins, Resins, Lecityin, Xanthophyllis, Guanine, and Xanthine

The main components are: Protein 21.2 %; Carbohydrates 48.5%; Fatty Acids 9.9%; Ash 2.7%; Fiber 3.5 %; Water 14.2%

Feeding bee pollen prevents nutritional imbalance, deficiencies, accumulation of toxins in the body and helps strengthen the immune system and prevent disease. The important thing with bee pollen, like with every other herb, supplement, and food, etc., is to make sure to buy a fresh high quality product. Bee pollen is considered a complete food with its nutritional balance in protein, carbohydrates, fats and all the other nutrients it contains. It is the richest food in nature.
