At The Honey Cottage we get a lot of questions about bee pollen and how to take it. So here is a few suggestions and that we tell customers on how much to take and how to take it.
It is best to start slow with bee pollen because of how much nutrition is in it.
Directions of use:
- Take 4 granules of bee pollen each day for three days.
- Then take 8 granules of bee pollen for three days.
- Then take 12 granules of bee pollen for three days.
- You will continue to double the amount until you get to 1½ tsp. of bee pollen per day.
Make sure to pay attention to what your body is telling you. If you start with day 6 and you are feeling great keep going with the 8 granules of bee pollen and see how you do for a couple of days. If you notice you need just a bit more do the 12 granules of bee pollen. Most people notice they are good with a few granules of bee pollen each day. Some have to take a few more. Mixing the bee pollen with honey each day also will give a great boost to your daily health.
Kids can take bee pollen, but it much smaller amounts than adults. Consult the child’s doctor to make sure they are okay and healthy enough to take bee pollen.
How to use:
- Put it in your mouth and swallow with water or juice
- Mixed in a smoothie
- Mixed with a teaspoon of honey
- Eaten on toast with honey
- Sprinkle it on top of plain yogurt
- Sprinkle on fruit salad
- Mix it into your serving of potato salad
- Sprinkle on top of your pancakes or French toast
- Add it to a peanut butter sandwich
Bee Pollen can be used in many ways and mixing it with food has made it easier for some people to take.
Bee Pollen needs to be refrigerated or frozen to keep it at its highest potency. Try not to put it in anything hot; heat can kill all the nutrients it has.
