What is the recommended dosage of bee pollen? And how do I use it? Also what are reputable companies to buy high quality supplements? I have been buying from Swanson but I have read their quality is not good and they add fillers. I feel that supplements are an important part of this journey and want a good quality brand to buy from

I have gotten YS Eco organic bee pollen before and it was fine.

As for my supplements, I like a place that does a lot of business so I am not worried about something sitting on the shelf beyond its shelf life.

I shop Vitacost, Swanson, Walmart, Amazon, iHerb, and probably a few others. I cost compare because I have found $5 difference from place to place.

There is a wonderful list in the "New to Lyme" thread of recommendations of places to buy online from that other members have had good experiences with.

When I was using bee pollen, I was taking a tablespoon a day. That may be too high for many, so do watch for any issues, and start off with a smaller amount.

Whole foods has quite a few options for bee pollen that can be reasonably priced when on sale. I saw it in the refrigerated section today in the vitamin area.

Bee pollen, if taken fresh, will have probiotic bacteria.

If not fresh or refrigerated, it will still be good, but the probiotic bacteria would be probably weaker or dead.

I took bee pollen during lyme, but not for very long. I did not know fresh bee pollen would be better, as it would be partially fermented...

I did not know that bee pollen has to be taken with moderation, due to allergic potential...

this company sells fresh bee pollen. I wonder if there are other companies?

This paper shows what strains of probiotic bacteria from bee pollen can do pathogenic bacteria.
