Where does it come from?
Bee Pollen is gathered by worker bees and mixed with nectar and bee saliva.  The bees then pack this “blend” into a granule that adheres to their back legs and carry it back to the hive and is used to feed the bees in all stages of development. The type and quality of pollen varies by location, plant source whether fruit or forage, and weather. Because of this process, it is possible for pesticides and/or heavy metals to influx the pollen.  It’s good to know your source and check for toxin free Bee Pollen. The most expensive and sought after is that created around a desert area. 

Antioxidants of flavanol, resveratrol and lycopene along with vitamins A, B, C, K and E help to ward off infections by strengthening the body’s ability to overcome and prevent inflammation while regenerating the cells.

Bee Pollen has a variety of fatty acids, with the essential fatty acids being the most predominate at approximately 70% Omega 3 fatty acid (Alpha-linolenic acid), 5% Omega 6 (linoleic acid) necessary for growth in dogs, and the balance is monounsaturated and saturated fats.  It also contains nearly a dozen Major Enzymes and several thousand minor enzymes and co-enzymes to help with food digestion and absorption of nutrients as well as regulating the immune system.
