Why Fresh Pollen is Beneficial for the Brain

Pollens are naturally rich in plant proteins and contain all the essential amino acids. Neurotransmitters, or neuromediators, are synthesized from elements contained within these amino acids. The quantitative level of these neurotransmitters is directly correlated with specific psychological disorders such as depression, irritability, and memory loss.

• Tryptophan, an amino acid that cannot be synthesized by the body, is the precursor to serotonin. If its level is too low, it can be responsible for nervousness, aggressiveness, and anger. Richest pollens: chestnut, hawthorn, and cherry.
• Phenylalanine transforms into tyrosine, a precursor to dopamine and noradrenaline, two neurotransmitters that stimulate the brain. Richest pollens: willow and fruit willow, Effipollen.
• Methionine is essential for the functioning of all other neurotransmitters. Richest pollen: Nutripollen.

Role of B-group Vitamins

Pollens and royal jelly are also particularly rich in B-group vitamins. These play a major role in energy production and the health of the nervous system. In addition to physical problems, their deficiency inevitably leads to numerous nervous and behavioral dysfunctions. They are often altered by food preservation and cooking conditions, making their presence in industrial food particularly unpredictable!

Chestnutand hawthorn pollens are the richest in vitamin B6. Its anti-stress and anti-depressant action is essential for the formation of thoughts, emotions, and coordination. Both are also rich in tryptophan, precursors to serotonin, the good mood hormone.

Royal Jelly, an Incredible Stimulant

Secreted by the hypopharyngeal glands of bees, royal jelly is the exclusive food of the queen throughout her entire existence, allowing her to live 40 times longer than her subjects!

• Rich in Acetylcholine

Royal jelly is also rich in B-group vitamins and contains acetylcholine, which exerts a very favorable action on the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. It boosts the transmission of nervous information, which is responsible for concentration and memory!

• Vitamin B5

Royal jelly is also one of the richest foods in vitamin B5, pantothenic acid, which helps the proper functioning of the nervous system. Royal jelly also helps to restore a good energy level when you are exhausted, to relax, and to sleep better when stressed. As an adaptogen, it helps the body cope with various situations that may disrupt its functioning.
