Bee pollen and royal jelly have earned a reputation as extremely dangerous foods for all asthmatics. His reputation has some substance to it, however I think it has been exaggerated.
There is no doubt that these foods pose a serious risk to a small percentage of the population. Those who are allergic to bees, those who have a history of food hypersensitivity, or those who have experienced anaphylactic reactions in the past should be very careful when considering including Bee Pollen or Royal Jelly in the daily diet.
In terms of their nutritional value, they are unrivaled by almost any other food on the planet for their nutritional value. They contain almost all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes that exist. Bee pollen is said to be possibly the most complete food one can eat. You could practically maintain a long and healthy life by eating nothing else.
I have personally been taking these foods for many years. I think they are the best supplements you can take. Unlike other supplements or multivitamins, Bee Pollen and Royal Jelly are 100% natural and not made in a laboratory.
If you are concerned about an adverse reaction to bee pollen or royal jelly, my advice would be to see a doctor for an allergy test. Find out if you are allergic to bees or bee products. If you decide to include these supplements in your diet, start with a small dose and note any side effects or reactions. Increase the dose accordingly, once you have established that it is safe to do so.
Known side effects of Bee Pollen and Royal Jelly include:
- stomach bread
- Diarrhea
- Irritation of the mouth and throat.
- Tired
- Asthmatic symptoms and, in some rare extreme cases, life-threatening anaphylactic shock.
If you’re not prone to food allergies and don’t have a history of anaphylactic shock, I recommend Bee Pollen and Royal Jelly. They are considered superfoods by many nutrition experts and, in fact, can help most asthma sufferers by boosting the immune system, since asthma is an autoimmune condition.
