RE: BEE POLLEN - Another 'SUPERFOOD'...From the HIVE...???
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Has it been shown to reverse eye sight loss due to age? You have taken it for a long time, have any of your older/slightly younger friends recently started using it and has it helped them reverse some of the, (so called), old age issues, like arthritis, collagen loss, or cartilage loss for them?

Hi @bashadow, I must have been tired and erred regarding the Leucine and eye connection within the article... I will correct it😕 Leucine is an essential amino acid and Branch-Chain amino acid (BCAA) best known for muscle building, recovery and muscle loss (even in the aged) It also plays a role in producing growth hormone and blood sugar regulation
It is lutein, a carotenoid that plays a role in eye health- sorry... Carotenoids such as lutein and others are found in bee pollen, yet I do not know if they are of high enough therapeutic values to reverse vision loss due to damage of anatomical structures (Which may be deemed sometimes - "visual impairment due to age")
Collagen building nutrients are 'Vitamin C' (Required to transform lysine and proline into hydroxylysine and hydroxyproline, forms of amino acids necessary to rebuild collagen) There are 5.7 grams of Lysine in 100 grams of 'dried' bee pollen (about one teaspoon) I don't know about the proline though.
Also, 'taurine' and 'lipoic acid' which can be gained naturally from garlic or supplementation. Again... though contained within bee pollen, I don't know if values are high enough to reverse loss, rather than maintain.
Advice for cartilage repair/rebuilding is all over the map and I personally don't know of anyone with suggestions. YET... I do have a relative who reversed ALL symptoms of severe joint pain from an immunological disease with CBD oil very recently.
He has been off his 'very expensive' medication (about two grand per month) for about a year. He's actually working out with weights now, including squats where as before, he could hardly even walk.
I hope this helps, at least a little in response to your inquiry.
It does thank you, I think next trip to the Feed Store I will be looking for some pollen to give a try. I will also look into the CBD oil as I have very just recently started to have some knee pain.
