Bee pollen is a natural substance collected by honeybees (Apis spp.) from the pollen of flowering plants and mixed with nectar and bee enzymes to form nutrient-rich granules. It is considered a superfood due to its exceptional nutritional profile, containing proteins, essential amino acids, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins (A, B-complex, C, D, and E), minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc), enzymes, flavonoids, and polyphenols. These bioactive compounds provide bee pollen with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-supporting properties, making it a popular ingredient in dietary supplements.
