And one of our most popular presidents, Ronald Reagan, took bee pollen for years.

But precisely what is bee pollen?
In nature, pollen is produced by the male portion of the flowering plant. As the bee travels from flower to flower collecting nectar, it carries some of the pollen with it, which cross-pollinates and fertilizes the plant. In addition, some of the pollen makes it back to the bee hive where bee keepers can gather it.
And if you’re one of those who is negatively impacted by bee pollen, it is mainly due to the pollen which affects many with pollen allergies.as a matter of fact, there are many documented reports of bee pollen and royal jelly triggering asthma, hives, sore throats, facial itches and even anaphylactic shock in people with allergies to specific pollens. And these responses can occur with as little as one teaspoon of bee pollen.
But the true hidden danger of many people who take this nutrient is that they’ll believe so much in the effectiveness of bee pollen or some other current nutrient, that they will completely ignore the signs that their own body is giveing them. Nutritional supplements should never, ever take the place of consultation and treatment of your doctor or competent health care professional and nutritionist.
