HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bee Pollen 1500 mg by NusaPure

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: bee pollen at 1,500 mg per capsule. Bee pollen is a mixture of flower pollen, nectar, enzymes, and other plant compounds collected by honeybees.

The capsule also contains hypromellose (a capsule material) and powdered rice as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Bee Pollen product and its label doesn't state a use — see Bee Pollen's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for bee pollen's effectiveness is mixed and limited. It's rated as possibly ineffective for athletic performance.

For other proposed uses — hay fever, absent menstruation, benign prostate enlargement, and breast cancer-related hot flashes — we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works or doesn't. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the science actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bee Pollen

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Bee pollen is generally well tolerated by most people, but it can trigger allergic reactions, sometimes severe. If you have a history of seasonal pollen allergies — especially to plants like ragweed, chrysanthemums, daisies, or marigolds (Asteraceae/Compositae family) — you're at higher risk for a serious reaction, including swelling, shortness of breath, or anaphylaxis.

Rare cases of liver inflammation (acute hepatitis) and kidney problems have been reported with bee pollen use. Because safety data during pregnancy is limited and there's a concern it might stimulate the uterus, avoid use if you're pregnant.

There isn't enough data to know if it's safe while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bee Pollen

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Bee Pollen.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 2 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you're on warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner or antiplatelet medication, double-check this product with your pharmacist or using the medication search tool on this page before starting.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Bee pollen might be worth considering if you're looking for general wellness support and have no pollen allergies or blood thinner use. If you take warfarin or other anticoagulants, check with your pharmacist first.

Anyone with seasonal pollen allergies should be cautious due to allergy risk. Pregnant or breastfeeding?

Warfarin (Coumadin)

There is some concern that bee pollen might interact with warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding.
In one case report, a patient on warfarin had a stable international normalized ratio (INR) of 1.9-3.3 for 9 months. The patient's INR was found to be 7.1 after starting bee pollen granules one teaspoon twice daily for approximately one month. The patient's warfarin dose was decreased by approximately 11% in order to return the INR to the therapeutic range while continuing the bee pollen supplement.
