Local Bee Pollen Meal Topper 120g

Bee Pollen - a natural SUPERFOOD!
This nutrient-dense powerhouse supplement is packed with vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, protein and fats – and it’s a great dietary addition for both humans and their canine companions. It has one of the most complete nutritional profiles in the world, made up of 35% protein and 50% carbohydrates. It’s also high in chromium, cobalt, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc, iron, folic acid, and much more!

Bee pollen contains Quertin, which is a natural antihistamine. This acts as allergy protection, and when consumed regularly can help to reduce allergy symptoms and allergic reactions in dogs.

The health benefits of bee pollen are numerous. Antioxidants of flavanol, resveratrol and lycopene found in bee pollen, along with vitamins A, B, C, K and E help to ward off infections by strengthening the body’s ability to overcome or prevent inflammation while regenerating the cells.

Bee Pollen also contains a variety of fatty acids. Essential fatty acids are the most predominate of these – approximately 70% of which are Omega-3 fatty acids (Alpha-linolenic acid) and 5% Omega-6 (linoleic acid), which is necessary for growth in dogs. The remaining percentage is monounsaturated and saturated fats.
Nearly a dozen major enzymes and several thousand minor enzymes and co-enzymes in bee pollen help with food digestion and absorption of nutrients while regulating the immune system.

The benefits:

• It’s hepatoprotective – It protects and promotes a healthy liver, and assists in the healing process for a compromised liver. This makes it a good option for dogs who need to detox.
• It improves muscle mass.
• It boosts metabolism.
• Allergy protection – Bee pollen contains Quercetin, a natural antihistamine. When taken regularly, it can help reduce allergy symptoms and allergic reactions.
• It’s anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-viral.
• Improves blood flow to the nervous system helping to relieve stress and anxiety.
• It contains trans-cinnamic acid, which is a natural antibiotic.
• It’s alkaline – Bee pollen balances the overall pH in the body promoting a healthy urinary tract.
• It contains the plant pigment rutin, which offers cardiovascular support. This helps strengthens blood vessels and capillaries.
• Gram for gram, it contains more amino acids than beef, fish or eggs.
• As part of a daily diet, bee pollen can improve moisture in the skin which in turn can speed healing of wounds.
• It supports and can improve digestion via anti-microbial properties that rid the GI tract of invading pathogens.
