Pergoy is commonly called bee pollen preserved with a special honey-enzyme composition, folded and tamped by bees into honeycombs, which has undergone special lactic acid fermentation. As a result of this whole event, pollen grains begin to turn into "bread" - this is how it is customary to call bee bread among beekeepers for its high importance for both bees and people. Let's take a closer look at the properties and contraindications of pollen, its composition and use.
General information
Perga is called pollen, mixed with enzymes and rammed into honeycombs by bees. Further, this substance undergoes lactic acid fermentation and is covered with a thin layer of honey. Perga is a food product for bees, which, as a rule, honey plants consume in the spring, before flowering, and in non-flying weather. Bee pollen is perfectly absorbed, because thisthe product is sterile (lactic acid kills all bacteria). If we talk about beekeeping in general, it can be noted that this substance has no equal in nutritional value. Perga contains three times more energy reserves than pollen.
Composition
Perga contains amino acids, vitamins and enzymes that have biological value and antimicrobial properties. Perga is a great natural, and therefore a safe anabolic.
The bee bread contains many vitamins: B, C, A, P, E, B1, B2, B6, D. About 4-7% of bee bread is mineral s alts, organic acids account for 1-5%. One of the main features of this substance can be called an increased content of vitamin K, because it is this vitamin that plays one of the main roles in the process of blood clotting.
Bee perga contains much more carbohydrates than pollen, and this substance is absorbed much better than any other beekeeping product, including the first honey. Perga contains a large number of essential amino acids, including isoleucine, leucine, methionine, lysine, threonine, valine, tryptophan and phenylalanine. All of these amino acids are easily absorbed as the pollen coat is broken down during fermentation.
Bee bread is rich in minerals: potassium (42%), magnesium (24%), iron (19%), calcium (16%). As you know, potassium in the human body regulates the functioning of the heart muscle, is involved in metabolism and the removal of toxins. Magnesiumthe human body uses in regulating the functioning of the nervous system, and iron contributes to the functioning of the circulatory system. The functions of calcium in the body are strengthening, growth and regeneration of bone tissue. Each “harvest” of bee bread is truly unique, because pollen collected from different plants growing in different regions gives a slightly different composition of bee bread microelements. For example, bee pollen, which contains dandelion pollen, is saturated with carotenoids from 1.5 to 2.1 mg/g. Carotenoids in the human body are synthesized into retinol, which maintains visual acuity. Daily use of bee bread for 2-3 weeks will replenish the supply of retinol in the human body for a long period, for its subsequent recovery in case of deficiency. In addition to carotenoids, other elements will be replenished, for example, sterols that stimulate the generation of calciferol to strengthen bones.
Where does it come from?
Part of the pollen is used immediately by young bees, which thereby produce larval food. The rest of the forager bees are placed in cells that are located on top and also on the side of the brood. Insects fill the cells with this obnozhka approximately 0.4-0.8 deep. The bees then preserve the pollen, resulting in the final product of this process, bee pollen.
Thus, a considerable reserve of valuable protein food is created, which is essential for bees with the advent of spring. Perga, which cannot be said about pollen, is quite sterile and is better digested and absorbed by the brood.
Using perga
The most important effect of pollen is a pronounced tonic and immunostimulating effect. Any person who listens to his body can feel it, including young and he althy people. Increases physical strength, endurance, you start to run like clockwork, hence the mood. Moreover, this effect does not have the nature of drug addiction - there is no depression and loss of strength when the intake is stopped. Hence the conclusion: bee pollen is one of the best dietary supplements in existence, a truly divine creation of nature, unique for mortals.
Satisfactory prophylactic dose of pollen ~ 10-50 grams per day, an hour or two before meals. In the case of treatment of acute crises, more may be needed. It is not recommended to use at night - insomnia may occur.

However, please note that bee pollen has contraindications. We'll look at them later.
