Bee Pollen

Bee Pollen is a naturally occurring substance collected by honeybees from flowering plants and formed into nutrient-dense granules. Traditionally valued in wellness practices around the world, bee pollen contains naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes. Our Bee Pollen is available in both granules and finely ground powder, making it convenient for smoothies, cereals, teas, and culinary creations. Its mildly sweet, floral taste and versatile texture make it an easy addition to a balanced lifestyle.

Preparation methods vary depending on the form selected. Because external uses vary widely, customers should research reliable sources for preparation and usage methods.

Internal Use – Granules
Adults may take 1 teaspoon (approximately 5 g) once or twice daily (totaling roughly 5–10 g/day).

Granules may be consumed directly or sprinkled over yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, or blended into smoothies. They may also be mixed into 8 fl. oz. (240 ml) of water or juice and stirred well before consuming. Begin with a small amount (such as 1/4 teaspoon) and gradually increase to assess tolerance.

Internal Use – Powder
Adults may take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (approximately 2–5 g) once or twice daily (totaling roughly 4–10 g/day).

Capsules: For encapsulation, follow capsule machine manufacturer instructions. One teaspoon of powder is approximately 5 g, though weight may vary by density. A standard 500 mg capsule would contain approximately 0.5 g per capsule.

Powder in beverages/foods: Mix 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (approximately 2–5 g) into 8 fl. oz. (240 ml) of water, juice, or blended into a smoothie. Stir or blend thoroughly and consume immediately.

External Use (Granules or Powder)
Bee Pollen, in both granulated and powdered forms, may be incorporated into face masks, scrubs, infused oils, or other topical preparations. Because external uses vary widely, we encourage customers to research the best method and proportions for their needs.

Both granulated and powdered Bee Pollen may be sprinkled over cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, smoothie bowls, salads, or toast; blended into smoothies, juices, protein shakes, or herbal beverages; mixed into honey, nut butters, or energy bites; incorporated into baked goods, granola, or snack bars; stirred into tea (after cooling slightly), water, or fresh juice; infused into syrups or tonics; and included in DIY skincare and bath products such as masks, scrubs, lotions, creams, bath salts, bath bombs, or soaks.

Storage: Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. 

Shelf Life: It is very difficult to pin down an exact expiration date for most single herbs as they do not really expire, they lose potency or strength over time but will still have value. Unlike synthetic material or drugs, herbs can contain many constituents that contribute to their medicinal effects. Even if when we know what the active constituents are, there are often many of them in a single herb, each with different rates of degradation. Some herbs lose their effect more easily. Other herbs that possess more stable compounds such as alkaloids or steroids will last much longer.

A huge part of the degradation rate of herbs depends also on the storage conditions of the herb, & even on the quality of the herb before storage – how it was grown, harvested, dried & processed. If the product is left in hot places or open to sunlight then it will degrade much quicker than if it was stored in cool, dry place & sealed tightly.

A good rule of thumb is that herbs should be stored no longer than 2-3 years, but many herbs will have great strength much longer than that. To determine if an herb is still good you can check the appearance & aroma. Herbs that are no longer acceptable will have lost much of its vibrant color & will instead appear dull & faded. The bigger key though is to smell the raw materials to see if the potent aroma is still present.
