What is useful for pollen?
The general strengthening, anti-inflammatory and tonic properties of pollen are due to its composition.
So, the chemical composition of the pollen is represented by the following components:
- proteins;
- vitamins;
- amino acids;
- enzymes;
- minerals;
- microelements;
- macronutrients;
- fatty acid;
- phospholipids;
- terpenes;
- triterpenic acids;
- carotenoids;
- steroids;
- flavonoids;
- nucleic acids;
- chlorogenic acids;
- antibiotics;
- carbohydrates.
Thus, the benefits of flower pollen are obviously multifaceted, but what are the main properties of pollen, suggests the predominance of certain substances in its composition. The more active the substance, and the greater its content in the pollen, the more pronounced the properties that it possesses.
Proteins in flower pollen
The composition of the pollen is primarily rich in proteins. In the human body, these substances play a crucial role, participating in the formation of tissues, bones, muscles, hair and nails. In 100 g of pollen about 40% occupy irreplaceable amino acids. The highest content is observed in the spring.Amino acids are the compounds that make up proteins, and therefore it is very important that after stressful situations (illnesses, for example), a large number of amino acids enter the body to restore the material balance.
Vitamins in flower pollen
The use of flower pollen for women is caused, first of all, by a combination of vitamins A and E, and by side - group B, C, PP, D and K.
The body needs a small amount of vitamin to function properly, but with an unbalanced diet, one or the other vitamin can be kept in a minimal amount, which will lead to both a general deterioration of the condition and will be reflected in the form of specific symptoms. If a woman's body lacks vitamins E and A, then this can lead to a violation of the menstrual cycle , and therefore they are often found in complexes designed to improve the menstrual cycle or designed to improve well-being during menopause.
Microelements and trace elements in flower pollen
The flower pollen contains:
- potassium - regulates acid-base balance in the blood;
- calcium and phosphorus - form the basis of bone tissue;
- sodium - regulates blood pressure;
- magnesium - is involved in the regulation of the work of nervous tissue;
- chlorine - forms blood plasma and activates some enzymes;
- iron - improves hemoglobin;
- vanadium - lowers cholesterol;
- copper - is involved in the supply of cells with oxygen.
