Micronized Flower Pollen Boosts
Immune System

Clinics in dozens of countries have used flower pollen for a wide variety of conditions of ill health.

A key to optimal health is found within the metabolic processes of the body's cells — proper assimilation of nutrients and elimination of wastes. That is how the cell can regenerate itself, continually building new cells according to the genetic code of the RNA/DNA in the cell nucleus. Since pollen is an ideal food for vitalizing cell functions, activating metabolism, and feeding” genetic RNA/DNA replication according to the cellular blueprint, it follows that it is an ideal food for optimal nutritional health.

Pollen is truly a “glandular rocket fuel”

The endocrine glands regulate various systems of the body by secreting small amounts of hormones. Virtually all the precursors to these hormones are found within flower pollen. By supplying a wide spectrum of micronutrients for cell metabolism and glandular function, pollen supports the self-regulatory functions of the body for optimal health.

A natural benefit of such optimal health is more energy. For many people, pollen can provide new vim, vigor, and vitality. Swiss micronized pollen allows the body to exhibit more of its vivacious feminine glow or powerful masculine virility. Pollen has a good antioxidant effect. It helps deactivate or destroy free radicals created during the course of normal cellular activity, or those caused by smoking or eating dark-roasted foods, such as coffee. Antioxidant activity helps protect cells in vital organs against harmful effects caused by toxic substances in the environment and food.

In addition, pollen appears to contain a group of nutritional components which are useful in helping the liver detoxify itself from harmful and toxic substances.

The main benefits of Swiss micronized flower pollen are these: it carries nutrients to the cells, boosts energy, supplies vitamins and minerals, acts as an antioxidant, helps the body adapt to stress, reduces platelet aggregation, helps stimulate the body's natural self-defense system, helps low serum lipid level, aids control of prostaglandin synthesis, and aids in liver detoxification.

It is possible that many of pollen's significant benefits are due to its levels of bioflavonoids and phenolic acid derivatives. Bioflavonoids are powerful antioxidants, and have been linked to nutritionally helping many of the body's systems fight off various problems.

Another likely source of Swiss micronized pollen's exceptional nutritional value is that it contains both pollen and pollen fiber. Recently, pollen researchers have linked pollen fiber to increased fighting power in the immune system. While other pollen must have processed fiber added to it, Swiss pollen has always contained good amounts of pollen fiber from a widely-mixed variety of plants. Swiss pollen fiber undergoes the same natural micronization as the pure pollen cytoplasm for maximum bioavailability. Thus, this pollen formulation provides powerful benefits as it contains monocotyledon, dicotyledon and conifer pollen food, as well as monocotyledon, dicotyledon and conifer pollen fiber.

Two of the most interesting studies done recently on pollen were conducted by J. Zhao of the Shanghai Institute of Hemotology at the Shanghai Medical University in China. His team of nine researchers studied a Traditional Chinese Medicine called pollen typhae, and reported their results in the prestigious American medical journal, Thrombosis Research.[1,2]

Pollen typhae remedy is a pollen taken from the Typha angustifolia L. plant. Their research found that this pollen has an antiatherosclerotic effect, and that its benefits are actually multiplied by various biological components found within the pollen itself. They concluded that pollen typhae has the effect of alleviating clinical symptoms of certain heart problems.

They also found that platelet aggregation was reduced significantly. The flavonoids in pollen typhae demonstrate an antiatherogenic action as well. This study, quoting a pollen study done by J. Wojcicki, noted that pollen could lower serum cholesterol level, inhibit platelet aggregation and promote vessel wall production of prostacyclin.[3]

In general, pollen helps maintain bodily reactivity and flexibility and aids to help regulate the metabolic processes and levels for well-being.

Sir Alec Isaac, the Englishman who discovered Interferon, studied pollen for two years. Interferon is an anti-viral and disease-fighting substance in the body. Amino acids in pollen are readily absorbed by the body, and are used by the body to build Interferon. Isaac found that pollen not only penetrates the wall of the cell, but also penetrates the cell membrane. It then combines with cell RNA and DNA and synthesizes interferon for use by the body's immune system. Much scientific interest has arisen concerning Interferon over the last few years.

Pollen and Child Bearing

Pollen, as the male cell of the plant kingdom, has a well-deserved reputation for extra vim, vigor, and virility. It provides all the biofactors that are precursors for the male and female hormones, and micro-nutrients essential for healthy reproductive systems. Reportedly, exclusive animal breeders in Europe pay top dollar for pollen concentrates that are added to their animals' food.

Some couples have reported increased libido and increased fertility. Today, flower pollen is a superfood source used by some doctors to help remedy certain dietary deficiencies associated with certain problems of the reproductive system.
