Best Answer

Bee pollen is categorized as a food supplement so is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. That means manufacturers can sell it without scientifically proving its supposed benefits. They are not allowed to make specific medicinal claims or promises - such as, 'bee pollen fights cancer.' But they can make general claims and leave the public to infer the rest. For a long time many health benefits have been ascribed to bee pollen, for example it boosts energy and stamina, fights infection, aids weight loss, prevents premature aging and many more. It's also said to be rich in vitamins, minerals, protein and other nutrients. In fact none of these medicinal claims has been scientifically validated, and the composition of bee pollen products is extremely variable. That doesn't necessarily mean the claims of its therapeutic value are untrue, just that they haven't been proven. Some experts argue that the lack of evidence demonstrates that there isn't any therapeutic value.
