Bee Pollen

Mas Entreserra's Bee Pollen is a raw, artisanal superfood, harvested exclusively in the Baix Empordà, a privileged region of Catalonia full of wild flowers and Mediterranean forests. As a family business with over 25 years of experience, we produce this pollen with a natural process, without heat treatments, to preserve all its enzymes, vitamins and natural properties. With the "Venda de Proximitat" label awarded by the Departament d'Agricultura, Ramaderia, Pesca i Alimentació of the Generalitat de Catalunya, we guarantee a local, sustainable, and top-quality product.

The medicinal and energetic properties of bee pollen are exceptional thanks to its composition rich in proteins (up to 25%), essential amino acids, vitamins (B group for energy, A, C, E as antioxidants), minerals (iron for anemia, magnesium for muscle fatigue, potassium for recovery), enzymes and antioxidants like flavonoids, according to studies published in "Food Chemistry" (2019) and "Antioxidants" (2020). It is a powerful natural energizer that reduces chronic fatigue, improves physical and mental performance, and strengthens the immune system, ideal for athletes (increases strength, endurance and muscle recovery, as demonstrated in studies with athletes), people with fatigue and seasonal changes (spring/autumn for allergies and winter for low defenses), according to PubMed reviews (2022). Its antibacterial properties, derived from natural hydrogen peroxide, are effective against bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus (University of Cardiff, 2018), and it is anti-inflammatory for arthritis or muscle pains. It helps in digestion, nervous regulation and stress reduction, as confirmed by Cochrane Library (2017) for colds and cough.
