Bee bread, or pollen bread, contains around 75% pollen, which is then mixed with nectar, honey and bee saliva. The saliva and added enzymes result in the formation of probiotic bacteria and yeasts that break down the protein in the pollen into an ingestible form. Bee bread is stored in honeycombs by adult bees for later use. It is used primarily by nurse bees to help rear the brood. They would not be able to produce food for the young bees without this protein-rich substance. Bee bread has a high nutritional value, with a mix of proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins, omega fatty acids, simple sugars, minerals and enzymes.

Bee bread or bee pollen was called in ancient times "Ambrosia" - the food of the gods, precisely because of its high nutritional value, or "Perga". Some people consume pollen and bee bread as part of their diet.

Properties:

In terms of nutritional value, bee bread is described as superior. It is said to have a nutritional value three times higher than that of pollen. Its antibiotic properties are two to three times more pronounced than those of pollen.

It contains bacteriocins, also called lantibiotics, which confer bactericidal, bacteriostatic and germicidal properties. These, as well as the low pH, prevent the development of germs on the nutrient substrate represented by the nutrients in the bee bread, so that the product is well self-preserved. But it cannot replace antibiotic treatment and does not have similar effects on the human body.

It is known that pollen has a high protein content, in the form of proteins, oligopeptides and amino acids. All essential amino acids are present in a balanced ratio.

Bee bread also contains lactic acids, which allows it to be stored at room temperature.

In addition, there is a particularly rich enzymatic equipment, consisting of approximately 100 enzymes (oxidoreductases, hydrolases, transferases, isomerases, lipases).

It contains flavonoids, polyphenols, phytosterols, kaempferol (which plays a role in preventing osteoporosis), auxins, nucleic acids.

The high biological activity is contributed by the wide complex of lipo- and water-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, C, K, B complex), as well as various minerals, macro- and microelements (magnesium, calcium, iron, selenium, sodium, zinc, potassium and phosphorus). It is practically stated that all the chemical elements that enter the constitution of the human body are also found in pollen, and therefore in bee bread.

Health benefits of bee bread:

1. Strong detoxifying properties for revitalizing the body, being recommended for people with anemia, due to amino acids, including all the essential ones, oligopeptides and trace elements necessary for the production of hemoglobin.

2. Great source of energy, contains over 250 nutrients. Helps increase hemoglobin in the blood, rejuvenate and revitalize the body. In addition, bee bread is a fantastic energy amplifier. Useful for people who work a lot, intellectually or physically - by increasing muscle strength and endurance.

3. Bee bread is rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids, carotenoids and glutathione. Together, they protect the body against free radicals, which can damage important cellular components and influence certain chronic diseases.

4. If you are struggling with mineral deficiencies, do not forget that bee bread is a source of magnesium, zinc and many other vital nutrients, helping to increase levels in the body.

5. Bee bread is an adjuvant in natural treatment for those who want to regulate blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as it is low in calories and is also recommended for those who want to lose weight, as it can reduce appetite.

6. Bee bread is also a very good tonic, actively working to improve liver conditions.

7. Consuming bee bread is also beneficial for the intestinal tract. Useful in treating chronic constipation due to the content of acetylcholine, fiber and prebiotic effects that promote healthy intestinal flora.

Beyond this, bee bread also contributes to maintaining the health of the intestinal flora. It is especially recommended when following an antibiotic treatment.

Will bee bread trigger my pollen allergy?

No, bee bread will not trigger your pollen allergy. Pollen allergies are triggered by anemophilous pollen, which travels through the air with the help of the wind. However, the pollen collected by bees to make bee bread is called entomophilous pollen. Both bee bread and raw pollen collected by bees will not affect your allergies. On the contrary, exposing the body to bee pollen and bee bread will help the body adapt and better tolerate airborne pollen.

How to use: children (over 3 years old) 1 teaspoon/day, adults 1 teaspoon/day, preferably before breakfast.
