Mother Nature! She is absolutely fabulous. You know why? Because she has provided her peeps, you and me and everyone around the world everything we need to live a healthy long and strong life. That's why I'm reviewing this next product which is called Dutchman Gold Pure Bee Pollen.

First things first, have to say this. Our lawyers are very particular about this sort of thing... DISCLAIMER: These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Bee products may cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. The above information is given for informative purposes. Seek the advice of a licensed health practitioner who is qualified to make diagnoses and recommendations for treatment of illnesses.

Great... now that THAT is taken care of, lets talk Bee Pollen...

Bee pollen is considered a "super food". In fact Bee Pollen contains nearly every element humans need for survival and is one of the most nutrient rich foods on the planet. Each grain is unique; in color and in terms of its specific nutritional value. Understanding pollen in a wider sense we begin to know that pollen contains proteins, nutrients, vitamins, amino acids and an array of beneficial enzymes.

In a teaspoon of pollen there are all colors: black, white, yellow, orange, purple, green-depending upon where the pollen was collected and from what flower.

I have chosen Dutchman's Gold. The reason I have chosen Dutchman's Gold is not only because it is from Ontario, Canada and spending 20 years in Ontario, I have known a few bee keepers in my day... but also because of the boutique nature of the company itself. It is still a family business and has been around since 1981. This particular company or this "bee family" as I like to say, has approximately 1500 beehives with over 50,000 workers bees per hive in the summer months. BUZZZZZ BUSY!!!!!!

The reason I bring this up is because the company is still small enough and yet large enough to tend to the bees and give them the love and the care that they need to thrive and produce wonderful honey and pollen. Like anything, when you give attention to anything you are tending to, I believe the end result is more fabulous. Because of the size of the company and being family run, Dutchman's Gold can still maintain intimacy within the organization-meaning pay close attention to what is going on. And that is why I believe the end result-the creation of the pollen and the honey-is quintessential.

SO, how do you consume it, what can Bee Pollen do for me and how does it rank?

Let's get to it...

1 teaspoon per day of Dutchman's Gold Bee Pollen is all you need. It is recommended to take at breakfast, preferably with some fruit. Reason being is because it is believed the fruit fibers reinforce the activity of the pollen. I recommend you start off with a few granules at a time and work your way up to one teaspoon.

See how it goes, and then, up to one tablespoon a day. What did I do? I started with half a teaspoon with a few blackberries and raspberries in the morning. Now, I take about one tablespoon spread out throughout the day as a pick me up. AND I LOVE IT!

It tastes real. It reminds me of a meadow in the mountains or country. There is sweetness, but not a sugary taste. And it is chewwie! At first, I was kinda like, "ooh, ok... hmmm, I guess it is good for me, so I will take it". But now, I crave my Dutchman's Gold Bee Pollen. I feel good when I take it and I love the taste!

I want to let you know that that one teaspoon of pollen is as valuable as gold. Why? Well, first of all, one little worker bee has to work eight hours a day for an entire month to be able to create 1 teaspoon of bee pollen. That's a lot of work!! And the nutritional value of bee pollen is off the charts. Bee Pollen actually contains more protein (5 to 7 times more protein to be exact) than beef when you compare gram to gram. And Bee Pollen contains more available amino acids compared to eggs, cheese or beef.

I am telling you this because bee pollen truly is a super food. What are the benefits of Bee pollen? Let me list them for you... enhanced energy, helping to fight off fatigue, skin soother, supports respiratory system, allergies, immune booster, supports cardiovascular system, digestive system, add dictions... the list goes on.

Final Score????? 10000!! Way to go Dutchman's Gold! All of us here at PureZing now have our own addiction... and that is to your bee pollen. And we all think that is a really good thing.

Bee pollen has been considered to have the following nutrients:

Vitamins: Provitamin A, B-1 Thiamin, B-2 Riboflavin, B-3 Nancin, B-5, B-6 Pyridoxine, B-12 (cyanocobalamine), Pantothenic acid, Vitamin C, F, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin H, Vitamin K, Vitamin PP, Folic Acid, Choline, Inositol, Rutin.

Minerals: Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Iron, Copper, Iodine, Zinc, Sulfur, Sodium, Chlorine, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium, Boron, Silica, and Titanium.

Other: Amino Acid, Carbohydrates, Fatty Acids, Enzymes & Co-Enzymes, Fats.

Bee Pollen contains at least 22 amino acids, 18 vitamins, 25 minerals, 59 trace elements, 11 enzymes or co-enzymes, 14 fatty acids, 11 carbohydrates and approximately 25 % protein. Bee pollen is extremely rich in carotenes, which are metabolic precursors of vitamin A. It is also high In B complex and vitamins C, D, E and Lecithin. Bee pollen contains over 50 % more protein than beef, yet its fat content is very low. It is also an excellent vegetarian source of protein typically possessing more of the essential amino acids, pound for pound, than animal proteins like meat, eggs, and dairy products.

Daily use of pollen also ensures an intake of the more obscure, yet essential trace minerals that may be lacking from commercially grown produce and are often not included in vitamin mineral supplements. Most of us are unaware that the nutrients supplied by cooked fruits, vegetables and meats are not considered fresh because their enzymes have been exposed to high heat. Even taking a multivitamin can't offer the superior nutrient array of raw and fresh food.
