Is Bee Pollen Good for Candida?

The question from the audience: What about the consumption of bee pollen?

Well, being a beekeeper, I’m going to tell you I love bee pollen. I think bee pollen is one of the best things you can do for yourself to build up your immune system.

Bee pollen is a phenomenal food. It’s a very high protein food. Bees go to flowers and bring pollen back. They’ve got these little pollen baskets behind their legs and they stuff them full of pollen.

Basically, they bring them back to the hive because pollen’s high protein content is needed to feed the baby bees and to feed the adult bees. Honey is stored for the sugar, for the quick energy and then they get their protein source as well from the pollen.

Pollen contains all of the known amino acids, both the essential and nonessential. Pollen is incredibly good for a person’s immune system. The best pollen that you can consume is pollen that’s grown in your district.

So flowers, of course they grow around you, will have a better effect on your body than flowers that come from 5000 miles away, a totally different environment.

Pollen has been linked in some rare cases to increasing blood pressure in people but only very rarely. I may have heard of it maybe once or twice in all the years, but be careful which how much pollen you have. You don’t want too much pollen.

A couple of teaspoons per day is more than enough but it’s an exceptionally good tonic for the body. It contains huge amounts of magnesium and many trace elements. It’s full of protein, lots of aminos in there. It also contains very unique factors in there, which have a big effect on stimulating different aspects of your immune function.

So I do recommend pollen.

Some people may get allergies from pollen. It’s very rare, and it’s also very expensive to buy good pollen but it’s certainly worth it to put pollen into your diet.

I would rate it as a super food alongside salmon, avocados, and blueberries. It’s certainly a powerful food to eat, so I fully recommend it.

Don’t buy imported pollen from China. I wouldn’t recommend you do that. I recommend if you’re in the states, buy American pollen. If you’re in New Zealand, buy New Zealand pollen. Don’t buy imported pollen because we’ve got no idea on the regulations in countries like China and how things are kept. I would just buy U.S. pollen if you live there or Canadian pollen. Now that’s a good tip I’ll leave you with.
