Extreme sensitivity to bee pollen?
by Veronica
(Milwaukee)
I purchased some bee pollen from a bee keeper in Door County. I have always wanted to try it and read that it was a "super food." I started with one granule and worked my way up, as recommended. However, by about 13 granules I realized I was having trouble sleeping. I took the pollen in the morning, also as recommended, so it took me a while to figure out the connection. I was NOT drinking coffee at the time, although I have taken pollen granules and coffee at the same time. Currently, I only take about 5 granules per day. I am an off again/on again coffee drinker. This 5 granules is fine for me, not causing sleeplessness. I want to explore some of the other bee products, and am especially wondering if they help with hot flashes. I am trying to give up coffee completely, because I think it exacerbates brain fog, weight gain, sleeplessness, and hot flashes. SO . . . here is my real curiousity. I can't imagine that anyone taking a whole teaspoonful of bee pollen, much less two teaspoonfuls, isn't so energetic they are actually flying around like a bee. Are some people just more sensitive to its energy-producing effects than others?
P.S. -- I love how long, strong, and beautiful it makes my hair and, especially, my nails.

Hi Veronica,
Thank you so much for taking the time to contact me. You are exactly right - everyone tolerates bee pollen at different amounts. Now, you seem to be very sensitive. In fact, I have never encountered someone who can only take 5 granules per day due to sleeplessness! So you now have the record! ;) For example, I regularly take 2 full tablespoons per day and have no insomnia issues. But that is ok. Stick with the dose that works for you.
I would suggest trying 2 things for hot flashes. Royal jelly is very good for any type of hormonal issue so give our capsules a try. I'd recommend trying it with the MenoSmart product we sell. You can find it here:
