{"title":"Bee pollen","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBuy bee pollen: the natural pollen collected by bees\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBee pollen is the pollen that honeybees collect from flowers and press into small granules with a little nectar and saliva. Bee pollen is a natural product from the beehive that naturally contains, among other things, proteins and carbohydrates. Bee pollen has been used in various cultures for centuries and nowadays it is often chosen as a supplement to your daily diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our assortment you will find bee pollen as a supplement in capsule form. LUTO Bee Pollen provides 1500 mg per daily dose in easy-to-swallow capsules, of organic origin and suitable for vegetarians. This way you take bee pollen without the distinctive taste of the loose granules and you always have a fixed amount per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is bee pollen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBee pollen consists of the pollen grains that bees carry on their legs while visiting flowers. In the comb, these granules are mixed with nectar and enzymes and formed into small pellets. Because bees collect from many different flowers, the exact composition and color of bee pollen vary by season and region. It is a natural product and not an extract: it is the pollen itself, in dried form or processed into capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does bee pollen come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBee pollen is harvested at the entrance of the beehive using special pollen traps. The collected granules are then dried to make them shelf-stable. The origin partly determines the character of the product: bees living in areas with many different flowers produce a varied pollen mixture. LUTO Bee Pollen is of organic origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat forms are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBee pollen is available in roughly two forms. The first are the loose granules or flakes, which you can stir through yogurt, muesli or a smoothie, for example; these have a pronounced, slightly bitter and floral taste. The second form is capsules or tablets, where the dried pollen has been processed into a fixed dosage. Capsules are convenient if you prefer to avoid the taste of the loose granules or want to take a fixed amount while on the go. In our collection you will find bee pollen in capsule form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBee pollen versus propolis and royal jelly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBee pollen is often mentioned in the same breath as other products from the beehive, but they are different things. Bee pollen is the collected flower pollen. Propolis is a resinous substance with which bees seal and protect their hive. Royal jelly is the nutrient with which the larvae and the queen are fed. Anyone specifically looking for bee pollen should therefore make sure that bee pollen (pollen) is actually listed on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage and use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith LUTO Bee Pollen, the daily dose amounts to 1500 mg, divided over capsules that you take with some water. Loose granules are generally dosed by the teaspoon and mixed with food. If you use bee pollen for the first time, many people gradually increase the amount. Always follow the directions for use on the packaging for the correct daily amount and do not exceed the recommended dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen do you take bee pollen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no fixed time to take bee pollen; many people choose a time that fits their daily routine. You simply take the capsules with some water, for example with a meal such as breakfast. Loose granules are often stirred through yogurt, muesli or a smoothie and thus used during a meal. Choose a fixed time of day that is easy for you to stick to and follow the directions for use on the packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is bee pollen intended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBee pollen is used by people who want to supplement their daily diet with a natural product from the beehive. It is a product of animal origin that is collected by bees; the LUTO capsules are suitable for vegetarians. If you are allergic to pollen, bee venom or other bee products, caution is advised. Also during pregnancy, breastfeeding or the use of medication, it is wise to first consult a doctor or expert. Bee pollen is not intended for young children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to look for when buying bee pollen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen purchasing, pay attention to the origin and the way the pollen was dried and stored. For capsules, choose a product with a clearly stated amount of bee pollen per daily dose, such as LUTO's 1500 mg. Also check whether it is pure bee pollen and whether any organic origin is stated. Store bee pollen in a cool, dry, and dark place and close the packaging tightly, so that the natural product retains its quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso view our other collections: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kruiden-planten\"\u003eHerbs \u0026amp; Plants\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/spirulina\"\u003eSpirulina\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/luto-supplements\"\u003eLUTO Supplements\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bijenpollen-90-capsules-luto-supplements","title":"Bee Pollen 1500mg | 90 Capsules | LUTO Supplements","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBee Pollen Capsules with 1500 mg per Daily Dose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoneybees collect pollen from flowers and press it together with nectar and enzymes into small granules. This mixture is called \u003cstrong\u003ebee pollen\u003c\/strong\u003e. It naturally contains amino acids, fatty acids, polyphenols, and more. With this product from LUTO Supplements, you get that natural mixture in a convenient capsule form. Three capsules per day provide a total of 1500 mg of bee pollen. Convenient for those who want to take pollen without the grainy texture or the sweet, floral taste of loose pollen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is in bee pollen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBee pollen is not a single substance, but a natural mixture. Which substances exactly? That depends on the plants from which the bees collected their pollen. Nevertheless, certain substances almost always recur, such as free amino acids and polyphenols. These polyphenols are plant substances from the flavonoid family. What many people do not know: bee pollen also contains enzymes that the bees themselves add during collection. Because of this, it differs substantially from the pollen you would pick from a flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFinely ground pollen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pollen granule has a tough outer wall, made up of a substance called sporopollenin. In nature, this wall protects the pollen from UV light and dehydration. LUTO Supplements finely grinds the pollen before it goes into the capsule. A capsule with bee pollen is therefore not the same as a spoonful of whole granules. The difference lies in that finer particle size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1500 mg per day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese capsules provide 1500 mg of bee pollen per daily dose of three capsules. Bee pollen is used here as a dietary supplement. The capsules also contain a plant-based HPMC shell, microcrystalline cellulose as a filler, and plant-based magnesium stearate as an anti-caking agent. In short: a short list of ingredients without artificial colors or flavorings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDifference between loose bee pollen and capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoose bee pollen is usually bought as granules. You sprinkle them over yogurt or mix them into a smoothie. Tasty, but the taste is not for everyone. Some people find it floral and sweet, others rather bitter. Bee pollen in capsules completely bypasses that taste issue. You swallow them with a glass of water and you taste nothing. Another advantage of capsules is the consistent dosage. With loose granules, you estimate the amount by eye. With three capsules, you know exactly that you are getting 1500 mg of bee pollen. The same amount every day, without a scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product from LUTO Supplements offers bee pollen in an accessible form. Ninety capsules in the jar, good for thirty days at the recommended daily dose. The composition has been deliberately kept simple. Pollen, a capsule shell, and two standard excipients. Nothing more is in it, and that is exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LUTO Supplements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461654626642,"sku":"luto-038","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/LUTObijenpollenextract.jpg?v=1761733597"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/collections\/bijenpollen.oembed","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
