Pollen is a bee product collected by honey bee workers from the blossoming plants, mostly entomophilous (pollinated by insects.) Pollen is the only source of proteins and fats for bees. It provides them with vitamins and minerals.

Pollen is known for its high content of B Group vitamins, mono- and polysaccharides, amino acids, arginine, etc. Arginine plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of ischemia thanks to the creation of nitrogen oxyde, which helps expand coronary vessels of heart just like nitroglycerin does. Also, pollen helps prevent thrombosis. It contains other nutritional and biological substances, enzymes, hormones, and unsaturated fats.

Thanks to its composition pollen is sometimes called "the vitamin bomb." It is prescribed in the recovery periods and in the cases of a decreased appetite, vitamin deficiency, as well as diseases of the digestive system and liver. Pollen has been successfully used for years in the treatment of prostate cancer. The use of pollen in the medical treatment helps improve a patient's general feeling and physical tonus. It helps increase the body's resistance to diseases.
