How Power Pollen can plug you into more sustained, natural energy all day, every day.

 To thrive, and grow and maintain our energy output, we need food.  Perhaps that’s stating the obvious, but we don’t always make the right choices when it comes to what we eat. Your good (or not-so-good) health is directly dependent on a complex balance of vitamins and minerals, important antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes and micro-nutrients to feed and nourish your body.

 The biggest complaint most people have about their health is their lack of energy. They want to banish the dreaded 3:00 pm fade. They want to wake up with more energy, and have enough left over at the end of the day to enjoy their favourite things in life. Well, if you’re one of the complainers, the read on!

What IS a superfood anyway?

There are so many odd-sounding, currently-trending berries, seeds and obscure herbs and spices calling themselves a “superfood” that it’s easy to fall for the marketing hype.

Camu camu, noni, chia seeds, goji berries, acai berries, kale, seaweed…are just a few of the so-called offerings in the hippest cafes and restaurants, and the supermarket healthfood aisles. They fade in and fade out, in direct response to their effectiveness and popularity. But a superfood is simply a complete, natural, raw food that contains an extraordinary density of nutrients. And the most incredible of those is bee pollen.

Pollen has been around since the dawn of time, and is the very beginning of plant life. It’s undoubtedly a superfood, but it’s not some new, passing trend. It’s sometimes called ‘flower sperm’ because it carries the male reproductive cells of all seed plants.

Without pollen, and bees (and other pollinating insects) to help out with fertilisation process, a third of the world’s food crops would die. But as well as pollen being essential for plant procreation, it’s a valuable and superior source of essential nutrients. Pollen is not a seed or a berry – it’s a complete food, and the very reason that the seed and berry exist in the first place.

Pollen’s remarkable nutrient content

 It reads like a who’s who of nutritional perfection.

Vitamins – 18, including almost all of the B Vitamins, plus C, D & E.

Minerals – up to 60 important elements essential for good health including calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, selenium, zinc, copper and much more.

Protein – bee pollen is rich in amino acids, the building blocks of protein, but most importantly, these are free-form, which means they’re easily absorbed by your body.

Enzymes – pollen contains 11 different enzymes which are beneficial to digestion.

There are even beneficial elements in pollen that scientists have not been able to identify - and as testament to a pure, natural substance, it can't be replicated in a laboratory.

What’s in it for me?

 The benefits of taking bee pollen are numerous.  It stands to reason that all those nutrients, in their raw, natural form will go to work feeding, fuelling, charging and supporting every cell in your body.

 Nature has a very cool way of making things right when it comes to survival. When you start taking pollen, the nutrients go where they’re needed most. If you’ve been feeling sluggish and tired, you’ll notice a gradual increase in your energy. Not the type of rush you’d expect from a high sugar energy drink, or a few extra shots of caffeine, that might last half an hour until you come crashing back down. We’re talking about natural, sustained energy that comes from the purest source, and will stay with you all day, every day.

 But you’ll soon notice other things too. Your digestive system will benefit from all those enzymes. Your organs will function better. The amino acids and antioxidants will help support heart and brain health, and fight off free radicals that attack your cells. The mineral content will see your skin glow, and your hair and nails grow.

 Power Pollen is the ultimate superfood. When you add it to your daily dietary regime you’ll be fixing your energy crisis the natural way Those 3:00 pm energy demons will be a thing of the past.

 When you have all that energy, you’ll be able to enjoy the things you love most. You can get stuff done! Spend more quality time with family, play your favourite sports, get those DIY projects done and dusted!

You’ll wake up feeling full of energy and having a better night’s sleep because your quality of life has improved.

 So you don’t need to spend time sussing out the latest seeds, or brooding over the newest berries, or trying to decide which superfood is for you. Bee pollen has been lauded, revered and used medicinally and nutritionally since the dawn of time.  The ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Aztecs, Romans, Chinese and almost every other civilisation built on studies of philosophy and the natural world saw the value and importance of bee pollen.

 The ancient philosopher and physician, Hippocrates once said “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food”.  As far as marketing slogans go, it’s timeless. He also reportedly said “…Honey and pollen cause warmth, clean sores and ulcers, soften hard ulcers of the lips, heal carbuncles and running sores…” So now, it’s time to try it for yourself
