HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bee Pollen 200 mg by Nature's Answer
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: bee pollen grain extract at 200 mg per serving. Bee pollen is a mixture of pollen, nectar, and enzymes collected by honeybees.
The liquid is prepared in purified water and vegetable glycerin with a small amount of alcohol as a preservative.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for bee pollen is limited. It's rated possibly ineffective for athletic performance.
For other uses — hay fever, absence of menstruation, enlarged prostate, and breast cancer-related hot flashes — we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or not. Talk with your pharmacist if you're considering it for a specific reason.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Bee pollen is generally well tolerated by most people, but allergic reactions are a real concern, especially if you have seasonal pollen allergies or are allergic to plants in the ragweed and daisy family (including chrysanthemums and marigolds). Serious allergic reactions, though rare, can happen and include swelling, shortness of breath, and anaphylaxis.
A few very rare cases of liver inflammation have been reported with bee pollen use. Bee pollen is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy because some sources suggest it may stimulate the uterus, and there isn't enough safety data while breastfeeding, so you should avoid it then.
If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any blood thinner, including antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel, check your exact medication with the tool below before taking this product. Bee pollen may reduce how well your blood thinner works or increase bleeding risk.
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 is generally well tolerated but carries a documented risk with blood thinners like warfarin. If you take any anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication, check with your pharmacist first.
People with pollen allergies should also be cautious because allergic reactions, including severe ones, can occur. Pregnant or breastfeeding?
Skip this one and talk with your pharmacist.
