Pollen is used in phytotherapy as a restorative because it is a complete food. It is rich in proteins (6-30%); amino acids (15-22%); lipids (1-10%); unsaturated fatty acids and sterols; carbohydrates(up to 50% in the dry state); simple sugars (4-10%); water (12-20%); vitamins (vit.C, A, ac. pantothenic, ac. folic, B complex); enzymes; hormones; antibiotic factors; mineral salts (iron, calcium, magnesium potassium and zinc) and flavonoids. In its cell nucleus, pollen holds the secret of life: the DNA and RNA molecules that establish the vital function of all cells. Thanks to these substances it strengthens and nourishes the entire organism, combats states of mental and physical fatigue proving to be an excellent adaptogen and antioxidant. Used by athletes to increase resistance to fatigue and muscular exertion, it finds use in the physical activity of sportsmen for the supply of carbohydrates and lipids but above all as a source of protein and essential amino acids, superior to those of meat, eggs and cheese, which justify the tonic, anabolic properties given by the presence of 20 of the 22 amino acids used by the human body.
