Nutritional composition and health care effect of bee pollen

　　Bee pollen contains a complete range of nutrients with ideal composition ratio. It is famous for its unique natural health care function and medical and beauty value. It is a high protein and low-fat nutritional health food. It is internationally known as "all natural nutrition food" and "concentrated camp". It is a treasure in human natural food.

　　Its main nutritional components are protein, amino acids, vitamins, trace elements, active enzymes, flavonoids, lipids, nucleic acids, Brassica, phytic acid, etc. Among them, the amino acid content and proportion are closest to the amino acid pattern recommended by the food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), which is extremely rare in natural food. Bee pollen is rich in protein and amino acids, and its content is 5-7 times higher than that of eggs and milk. It is called "concentrated nutrition bank" in nutrition.

　　(1) Anti aging effect

　　At present, it is believed that the contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD), lipid peroxide (LPO) and lipofuscin in human body are related to aging. The increase of SOD activity and the decrease of LPO and lipofuscin content are helpful to delay the aging of the body. Bee pollen helps to improve the activity of SOD and reduce the content of LPO and lipofuscin due to its nutritional components, thus enhancing the body and delaying aging.

　　(2) Enhance immune function

　　Pollen can significantly promote and regulate the immune function of patients with malnutrition. Pollen can promote the development of immune organs, enhance the activity of immune cells, improve the immune function of the body, and inhibit transplanted tumors, especially promote the activity of T lymphocytes and macrophages closely related to tumor immunity, so as to enhance the resistance of the body.

　　(3) Adjust gastrointestinal function

　　Pollen can promote digestion and appetite. Pollen contains antibacterial and antiviral substances, which have good killing effects on Salmonella, E. coli, typhoid, etc., so it has the reputation of "intestinal police". At the same time, pollen can also regulate the function of gastrointestinal tract, and has a good health care effect on gastrointestinal dysfunction, ulcers and diarrhea.

　　(4) Hepatoprotective effect

　　Pollen can prevent the accumulation of fat in the liver, prevent the liver from evolving into fatty liver, and play a good protective role on the liver. At the same time, pollen is a high-level nutrient to restore liver function and has a good health care effect on patients with chronic hepatitis

　　(5) Regulating the role of the nervous system

　　Pollen has a positive regulatory effect on the nervous system, can promote the development of brain cells and enhance the function of the central nervous system. Pollen can also improve the excitability of brain cells and make tired brain cells recover faster. Therefore, pollen is known as the best restorant for mental fatigue.

　　(6) It has good effect on cardiovascular system

　　Pollen contains rutin and flavonoids, which have the function of softening capillaries and enhancing the strength of capillaries. Therefore, pollen can be used to prevent atherosclerosis, and also prevent cerebral hemorrhage, hypertension, retinal hemorrhage, stroke sequela, varicose veins and other senile diseases.

　　(7) Prevention of prostate disease

　　Pollen has a significant effect on chronic prostatitis and can prevent prostatic hypertrophy and dysfunction.

　　(8) Promote hematopoietic function

　　Pollen is beneficial to the improvement of hematopoietic function of bone marrow. An auxin in pollen can also promote growth and development, and can rapidly increase the hemoglobin of patients with anemia. Bee pollen is rich in trace elements such as iron, cobalt and phosphorus. Therefore, it has a remarkable effect of promoting hematopoietic function.

　　(9) Physical strength enhancement

　　Pollen contains substances that promote and improve the redox ability of tissue cells, accelerate the impulse transmission speed between nerve and muscle, and improve the reaction ability. After taking pollen, athletes can enhance their physical strength, endurance and explosive power, increase their vital capacity, quickly eliminate fatigue and maintain a good competitive state. It is an effective physical strength enhancer.

　　(10) Beautifying effect

　　Pollen has the functions of hair growth, hair care and skin care, and has a good cosmetic effect on facial diseases. Known as the "beauty agent that can be taken orally", it is the best natural beauty and health care product for women. As pollen contains rich nutrition and skin care ingredients, such as SOD, pollen phospholipid, vitamin E and vitamin C, it has a bleaching effect on melanin of the skin, and vitamin E has an antioxidant effect, which can delay skin oxidation and reduce the formation of freckles. Pollen phospholipid can regulate cell membrane, improve the permeability of skin cells, enhance skin metabolism and restore skin elasticity. Therefore, pollen can play a very good role in nutrition of dermal cells, and has a unique effect on wrinkle removal and wrinkle prevention, especially on chloasma and freckles. In Japan, oral pollen is called "beauty product in the mouth".
