What is the composition of pollen?

The ancient Greek healer Hippocrates attached special importance to pollen and successfully used it to treat many diseases. The ancient Greeks believed that honey and pollen were food that kept you alive and young.



Pollen contains proteins, fats, sugars, mineral salts, many different vitamins, amino acids, phytohormones and phytoncides. The pollen contains many elements from the table of D.I. Mendeleev, but the level of their content, of course, depends on the plants from which the bees brought this pollen.

In any case, you can see how carefully nature preserves everything useful to humans, even in the smallest flowers, and how hard it is for a tiny bee to get this wealth for us. All that remains is to enjoy these benefits and give thanks.

If there are so many different nutrients in pollen, then, most likely, it can be used in the treatment of various diseases? Yes this is true. Some diseases can be treated, but to a greater extent, pollen is used as a general tonic or in addition to basic drugs.



Pollen contains much more nutrients than honey. It should be noted that the protein content in pollen exceeds many other food products (from 7 to 30%). Or, for example, this product contains such amino acids, which the human body itself does not produce, but we need them, therefore, the intake of these substances must be due to food.

It all depends on us, what kind of food we eat - how good is it for us? Pollen helps correct our dietary mistakes.

And these vitamins are vital for us for growth, vision and protection from various diseases, as well as for the normal functioning of the skin and mucous membranes.
