Don’t Bee Fooled By Any Advertisement of the Best Bee Pollen Brand
If you are looking for the best bee pollen brand, you have several factors to consider. Like buying food supplements, you shouldn’t be drawn by flashy advertisements and extravagant claims. This is especially true in the web where most advertisements are unverified and unregulated.
Bee pollen comes from a host of ingredients that has been described as “nature’s most perfect food”. Experts have analyzed bee pollen and found it to contain as many as 5,000 trace elements including Vitamins B 9, 11 and 12 Complex, C, E and D. Aside from vitamins, amounts of the minerals Iron, phosphate, sodium and the enzyme phenylalanine is also present in bee pollen.
The homeopathic medical applications of bee pollen can range from a nutritional supplement for body builders and athletes, an immune system booster, to an antioxidant that reduces inflammation on both the prostate and joint regions. There is also some anecdotal evidence which purport that bee pollen lowers blood sugar in people with diabetes and helps lower blood pressure.
With all the beneficial effects of bee pollen, it can be very easy to choose your brand – right?
Not exactly. For one, there are several bee pollen producers out there that claim to sell the best bee pollen. However, experience shows that some bee pollen products may offer far less than advertised. I came across a weight loss and nutritional product purportedly made out of “pure bee pollen” a few days ago.
After a few days, I decided to check the contents out before ordering. I found that the product is pure bee pollen at all. In fact, bee pollen is only one of the several ingredients of the product. There are several ingredients, which I felt, are just fillers to make the product more economic to manufacture.
This is the trouble with not being sure that your bee pollen comes from a quality manufacturer. You don’t know what product you are getting.
In choosing the best bee pollen brand, it is important to look for a certification with the brand. A certification from an independent third party source ensures that your product has met the stringent industry standards of the neutraceutical industry. It also means that your product is safe to consume.
In my case, I look for a pharmaceutical GMP compliance certificate in all my food supplements. GMP refers to Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations. It is an industry standard promoted by the US based Food and Drug administration to regulate food supplements and all their associated uses. Only the best food supplements pass and are certified by the GMP standard.
I came across a bee pollen product that was GMP certified a couple of weeks ago. This product is made from New Zealand and looks like a winner when it comes to the best bee pollen brand.
