Minerals in Bee Pollen
January 18th, 2010 | Author: admin
There are more than 25 minerals in bee pollen. There are also 60 trace elements in bee pollen and many of these trace elements are really considered minerals by science. There are also many toxic minerals like mercury and aluminum found in the average body at this time. Almost all foods are found to have toxic minerals as our planet becomes more toxic from pollution.
It has been said that minerals can work without vitamins but in order for vitamins to be beneficial minerals have to be present in the right balance. Excessive amounts of minerals is generally as bad as a deficiency.
One of the greatest benefits of bee pollen is that the food has so many nutrients not found in other food sources. One of these is its diversity of minerals and trace elements. There are only a few food sources that have this many minerals. Only two others come to mind one is hemp seed and the other is chlorella. All of the antioxidant vitamins like Vitamin a, C and E can not function without these minerals. The large array of minerals in bee pollen insure that the vitamins you ingest will have the nutrients required to function properly. Also minerals in other foods are becoming more scarce as the crop soils are depleted of there top soil which is where the minerals in foods come from.

The large amount of trace elements found in bee pollen are not found in any other food source as far as scientist have yet determined. The importance of these trace elements are also not yet known but many scientist strongly believe that the body needs many more elements than we have yet to research and determine if they are essential to human nutrition.
