It is one of the most nutritious health supplements available today, but there are also some possible bee pollen side effects especially when you choose the wrong product.

Bee pollen can boost energy levels, strengthen your resistance against diseases and enhance your general well being. Although there are some ugly bee pollen side effects, you can prevent them by choosing the right product and taking the necessary precautions.

Some of the mild bee pollen side effects are hives, wheezing, itchy throat, coughing and nausea. The most dangerous side effect is anaphylactic shock, which can lead to choking, and fainting or loss of consciousness. It is important that you stop taking bee pollen and consult a doctor immediately you notice any negative reaction.

How to Select The Best Bee Pollen Supplements

* Origin - The origin of the pollen affects its quality. That is why you should choose a product that is sourced from a country with very low pollution level. The higher the pollution level of a country, the more likely that the pollen sourced there would contain toxins or harmful impurities like mercury, lead and insecticides. Choose bee pollen supplements that come from places that have small human population and a few industrial factories because this kind of places always have low pollution levels.

* Reputable Company - It is sad but, the truth is that most companies use substandard procedures to manufacture their bee pollen supplements. So, ensure that you buy from a company that has good reputation in terms of ethical production policies. Such companies always have the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) stamp on their products; they also provide the Certificate of Analysis (COA) of the products on their websites. Make sure that you read the COA before buying any supplement to be certain that it does not contain any toxins.

* Dosage - You can prevent bee pollen side effects by sticking to the recommended dosage. Some people want to get an "over night" result that they take more than the recommended doses - that could easily lead to health problems. Most companies recommend 1-2 tea spoons a day for the bee pollen granules and 2-3 capsules a day if you are taking the encapsulated powder variety.

You should also start bee pollen regimen gradually, with smaller portions and increase the amounts one day at a time until you are sure that you are not sensitive to the substance. You can start with 2 granules or 1/4 of a capsule and work your way up until you reach the normal daily dosage.

Bee pollen side effects are real, but you can prevent them by choosing the right supplement and doing the right things.
