Bee pollen has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries, starting in Tang Dynasty China. However, in recent years the supplement has become more popular with those in the Western world, and studies have started to be conducted to assess the benefits of bee pollen in humans. Whilst there is still work to be done, these studies suggest that bee pollen might have the following benefits:
- Inflammation relief and reduction of swelling
- May help to lower cholesterol levels and blood lipids
- Boosting liver health and protecting against disease
- Provide further immune system health by fighting bacteria
- Assistance with relieving menopause symptoms
