Natural Spanish Bee Pollen Granules, 0.5kg

The package arrived with a broken seal and open lid. Not so nice!

I ordered this item on Dec 19th, 2014 and got it on Jan. 7th, 2015. It tests that there are a lot of dust/sand in the product - awful! I hope I can return it. I tried to call the phone number on the packing slip but couldn't get though. Brazilian Bee Pollen I ordered at the same time tests okay - no dust or sand so far.

Bee Pollen and Weight ControlBee pollen works wonders in a weight-control or weight-stabilization regimen by correcting a possible chemical imbalance in body metabolism that may be involved in either abnormal weight gain or loss. The normalizing and stabilizing effects of this perfect food from the bees are phenomenal.In weight-loss programs, bee pollen stimulates the metabolic processes. It speeds caloric burn by lighting and stoking the metabolic fires. Honeybee pollen is coming to be recognized as Nature's true weight-loss food. Bee pollen is a low-calorie food. It contains only ninety calories per ounce. (An ounce is about two heaping tablespoons.) It offers 15 percent lecithin by volume. Lecithin is a substance that helps dissolve and flush fat from the body. This is one reason why bee pollen lowers low-density lipoproteins (LDL) surer and faster than any other food while helping increase the helpful high-density lipoproteins (HDL), which science says protect against cholesterol and heart disease.By boosting the value of each nutrient present in the food you eat, bee pollen also eliminates cravings. Its natural phenylalanine content acts as an appetite suppressant. Phenylalanine is a natural amino acid that the body requires. It acts on your appestat, the control center that signals fullness and hunger. Mother Nature knows what she's about. You just plain won't want to eat as much when you take bee pollen regularly. When you are overweight, phenylalanine exerts a natural appetite suppressant effect. When you need to gain weight, the phenylalanine in bee pollen works in reverse.The chemical drug in over-the-counter weight-loss products is a manmade cousin of phenylalanine called phenylpropanolamine, which chemically depresses the appetite whether you are fat, thin, or just right. It can also give you the jitters and leave you with a drug-induced "hangover" and can be addictive. Phenylpropanolamine is a common ingredient in many decongestants, explaining why one of the side effects of these products is loss of appetite. Products that include phenylpropanolamine as an ingredient must by law carry a warning that they should not be taken by persons with certain conditions, including thyroid problems and high blood pressure.

Like this energy source product as it has a very light honey taste and dissolves easily in tea.

Really like this bee pollen. It is super fresh and really tastes good. I also give it to my dogs . Feel much better since I started talking this.

Thus far this has been my best bee pollen online purchase. It is not nearly as tender and wonderful as local bee pollen, but it is half the retail price of that. In a smoothie, or if left on a salad mixed with oil for a few hours, the product is redeemed. Delicious!
