Pollen, a substance collected from the flowers of various plants,
contains carbohydrates, fat, protein, and some vitamins and
minerals. Pollen extracts have been shown to have anti-inflammatory
properties, relax the muscles that surround the urethra, and to
inhibit growth of prostate cells.
Found in most plants,
Pollen has many good medical uses. The most commonly used pollen
plants are corn, rye, pine, and timothy grass.
Pollen is
helpful in lowering the cholesterol in animals and preventing
atherosclerosis. The reason for its effectiveness has not yet been
discovered. Scientists have of yet to do studies on humans to prove
its effectiveness in this area.
Probably one of it most
important medicinal attributes is pollen’s ability, as an
anti-inflammatory, to reduce the symptoms of benign prostate
hyperplasia. Its effectiveness is due to its ability to shrink the
prostate.
Recommended Dosage
Some
doctors recommend using 500 mg two to three times per
day.
