bee pollen

Question
how are you? my question is i recently purchased bee pollen in tablet form. The ingredients read:

Supplement Facts:
Bee Pollen 1000 Mg
BEE PROPOLIS EXTRACT 2:1(EQUIVALENT TO 10 MG POWDER) 5 Mg
ROYAL JELLY EXTRACT 3.5:1(EQUIVALENT TO 10 MG POWDER)2.86 Mg

My question is, is this a good dose? and if so, how much should i take a day?.. also, i would like to give it to my dogs, do you have a dosage for dogs that are 55 pounds? thank you so much for your help!!

Answer
Hi Mike - As far as bee pollen goes... be careful:
read below:

Bee Pollen:  One of the "superfoods", bee pollen contains an incredible array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes.   *Although rare, please note that some dogs may be allergic to bee pollen. If you wish to use this supplement and are concerned about a bee pollen allergy, you should consult your veterinarian. Under the care of a veterinarian, you may need to test your dog, using bee pollen alone, starting with one grain and gradually increasing the dosage, before using any product containing bee pollen.

For you , the human, the dosage is 500 mg 2x daily  -
So, if you have the 1000mg, you just need 1 each day.


Hope this has helped!!!

Thanks for your question,


Sorry, can't find too much info on bee pollen as a " stand alone" supplement.
