It contains the essence of every plant from which bees collect pollen, along with digestive enzymes from the bees. Bee Pollen is a popular nutritional supplement to build the immune system and provide energy. Bee Pollen is high in B-complex, lecithin, beta-carotene, selenium, and vitamins A, C, D, and E and is an excellent source of anti-oxidants. This natural tonic food boosts energy, strengthens the immune system, and enhances vitality. Forms Used: Gelatin caps, tablets and granules.
