Organic Flower Pollen Extract Offers Hormone Balance

As women continue to seek alternatives to estrogen replacement therapy, a large amount of clinical trials have proven that organic flower pollen alleviates symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Organic Flower Pollen is a non-hormone herbal remedy which relieves hot flushes and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). This is great news for those women who have been seeking answers from natural and safe pathways of health. In one clinical study, women were randomly given either organic flower pollen each morning, or two identical placebos for three months of treatment. The goal was to see whether the herb alleviated the symptoms of menopause, specifically hot flushes. The patients were asked to evaluate sixteen symptoms of menopause using Menopause Rating Scales (MRS) at four-week intervals and on inclusion or the study. Additionally, certain menopausal symptoms were recorded every day throughout the study. Among those who received the organic flower pollen, sixty-five percent responded with a reduction in hot flushes, compared to thirty-eight percent of those in the placebo group. MRS evaluation of hot flushes showed similar results demonstrating the benefits of organic pollen extract. The pollen extract significantly reduced hot flushes and certain other menopausal symptoms when it was compared to the placebo in this study.

Organic flower pollen also offers one of the safest methods of achieving optimal health for women. This herb is made from the pollens of seven specific varieties of organically grown flowers, which are cultivated in the southern parts of Sweden. Highly specialized processes are then used to produce the pollen extracts, in turn, simulating the natural pollination processes of flowers by mixing fresh pollen and pistils. In order to ensure purity, only one type of flower is grown in each field or greenhouse, and the pollen in the fields is hand-collected at precisely the right time, before it is collected by bees or carried away by the wind. A special enzymatic process then extracts the nutrients from inside the pollen grain, leaving the hard outer shell behind. This minimizes the allergy potential and makes the extracted pollen very easy to absorb. Finally, each finished batch is tested to ensure the removal of allergens.

Organic flower pollen has been researched in many clinical studies since 1991, all of which have shown significant improvement in PMS and menopause symptoms after only two months of continuous use. Although no known direct hormonal effect has been found in organic flower pollen, those who use it can have the following results: less bloating and water retention; fewer aches, pains, and cramps; improved mood and less irritability; more restful sleep; fewer hot flushes and less sweating; and overall improved well-being.

This herb is not bee pollen, but rather flower pollen that is harvested before it is gathered by bees. It is an extremely nutrient-dense substance that has been used for a long time in the treatment of many different conditions and diseases. Pollen from one plant has an entirely different pharmalogical effect than other pollens. Bee pollen contains an unknown variety of pollens because the bees collect from a number of different flowers. Organic flower pollen is a specific blend of seven distinct cultivars, each of which is organically grown in organically cultivated fields and greenhouses.
