Greenbow Organic Bee Pollen - 100% USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO, Halal, Kosher Certified, Pure & Natural Bee Pollen - Superfood Packed with Proteins, Vitamins & Minerals - Gluten Free - 155g

The very first review I see claims that because the product (nor company) show up in the USDA Integrity data base that means that the product is illegally labeled. *sigh*. A further glance at the USDA website Integrity Data base reads, "Did you search INTEGRITY for a certified organic business and didn’t see it listed? The next step is to ask the business claiming organic certification for the name of their USDA organic certifying agent. Then, contact the certifying agent (find them using USDA’s Organic Certifier Locator) to confirm certification and request a certificate. If the business is certified, the certificate must be available to the public from the certifier upon request. If the business appears to be falsely advertising as organic, please consider submitting a complaint with your evidence to USDA."The information on Greenbow webbsite states that, "We source our Organic and NGMO bee products from all over the world such as South America, Asia, India, Africa, Brazil, and Canada."SOooooo.. this tells me that since they don't use product based in USA (or use another USA based as mother company), but are selling in USA and want the USDA stamp, then they would have followed the steps outlined on USDA website (including utilizing an organic certifying agent- which GREENBOW has listed as certified by OCIA, which IS listed on USDA website as a legit certifier). Not wanting to leave anyone hanging, I contacted OCIA and asked for verification. The information has been forwarded to a certification director 08/2019. I may (or may not) hear from them over the next few days. While I am curious as to how this works, I am thinking that Greenbow would be taking a massive chance on lying about their product being certified USDA Organic AND listing their actual certifier. BUT, who knows.. and I just wanted to follow through as far as I could.. because someone decided that since they could not find the name in the USDA database then clearly it is a fraud. And that isn't necessarily the case.. as stated by the USDA website.I have no bias, nor interest in this company. But I do get a fire lit under my butt when something like that is being written with no FOLLOW THROUGH. My aim is to be helpful. SO I am here to say that I am attempting to follow this through. If I do get contact with the desired information, I will let ya'll know. Lets see what we learn. Stay tuned!EDIT!! I proceeded to contact OCIA, and the Director of Accreditation confirmed the legitimacy to me with this response, "OCIA does certify the bee pollen marketed under Greenbow. It is a private label, so another company actually produces the product but Greenbow is indicated on the label. Private label relationships are confidential, but I can confirm the product is certified by OCIA"Also, there is a comment from GreenbowUS in that first review comment section which states, "you will not be able to find Greenbow in the USDA Integrity database because Greenbow is a brand name and our products are made by the parent company Y.S.Health Corp, a Certified Organic Manufacturer" Then proceeds to share webpage.So, I think it is fine to go ahead and make your purchase if that bit was holding you back.Now as to the review on the product iteself..AS for this BEE POLLEN product? I like it. Its been years since I have purchased bee pollen, and recently I decided to buy some (I love superfoods and supplements of all sorts). I found this to be a reasonably priced, fresh container and have zero complaints thus far. I can't stand this stuff straight out of the jar, but I do like it sprinkled on my toast- especially if it has been slathered with peanut butter first. These are soft granules with very little mouth feel (not a crunchy item if you have never had bee pollen). They have a strong taste if consumed alone, yet have very little flavor once added into/onto something. Easy to use, and after I use up this jar, I will likely continue with it.

I bought because i heard it works really well healing and providing nutrients for the immune system, it kind if has a funny smell but it is not bad, it is really smooth, I eat it with porridge, and put it in my teas, it completely dissolves when you put it in any liquid. A great purchase certainly did'nt waste my money, soft to the touch.

Smells great and tastes great! I put a teaspoon in my coffee each morning (along with cream and sugar) and so far I haven't taken an allergy pill this year. I think I'll try it in a cup of tea tonight.

I'm sure this is a good product, but unfortunately I turned out to be too allergic to it. I wanted to use it to see if it would help my seasonal allergies, so I started with literally only 3 grains per day. However, by the end of the week, I was starting to sneeze a lot and have a lot of mucus, so I stopped using it.

Heard grate things about this product. Excited to try it.

It's wonderful, it tastes good. I add it to my teas to sweeten it since I don't consume sugar. I would buy it again. Highly recommended.

Delicious!!!!!!!!

Review of Greenbow Bee PollenI recently started taking Greenbow Bee Pollen, and after using it for a few weeks, I wanted to share my thoughts on its quality, effects, and overall experience. Here’s a detailed breakdown:Product OverviewGreenbow Bee Pollen is marketed as a natural superfood supplement, harvested from bees’ pollen, which is known for its high nutritional content. Packed with essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, bee pollen is often touted for its potential health benefits, including improved energy levels, immune support, and enhanced overall well-being. Greenbow’s version is offered in granule form, making it easy to mix into smoothies, yogurt, or even just water.Quality and PackagingThe quality of Greenbow Bee Pollen is top-notch. The granules are small, light, and dry, with a natural, earthy aroma. The product appears to be fresh, with no signs of clumping or moisture, which is a good sign of its purity. The packaging is simple but effective, typically sealed in a resealable pouch that helps preserve the freshness of the pollen. The pouch is sturdy, and the zipper seal keeps the pollen inside secure and protected from moisture.Taste and TextureIn terms of taste, Greenbow Bee Pollen has a mild, slightly sweet, floral flavor, which isn’t overpowering. If you’ve ever tried bee pollen before, it’s relatively neutral and not bitter, making it easy to mix into a variety of foods or drinks. The texture of the granules is soft and easy to swallow, and I’ve had no issues mixing them into smoothies, juices, or yogurt. If you’re taking it with water, it can take a little stirring, but it dissolves well overall.Health Benefits and EffectsI’ve noticed a few positive effects since incorporating Greenbow Bee Pollen into my daily routine:1. Increased Energy: I’ve felt a noticeable boost in energy since I began taking bee pollen. It’s a natural and sustained energy that doesn’t cause jitters or crashes, unlike caffeine. I’ve particularly felt more energized in the morning after having a spoonful in my smoothie.2. Improved Immunity: I’ve also noticed an overall improvement in my immune function. While I haven’t had any major colds or sicknesses, I’ve felt more resilient during allergy season, which might be partly attributed to the anti-inflammatory properties of bee pollen.3. Enhanced Focus: In addition to increased energy, I’ve found that my mental clarity and focus have improved. I’m able to stay more focused throughout the day, which has helped with productivity at work.4. Digestive Health: Bee pollen is also known for promoting digestive health, and I’ve found that it has a mild effect on reducing bloating and promoting regularity.Side EffectsSo far, I have not experienced any negative side effects from using Greenbow Bee Pollen. However, I’ve read that some people might experience mild allergic reactions to bee products, such as itchiness or swelling, especially if they are allergic to pollen or bee stings. If you’re sensitive to allergens, I would recommend starting with a small amount to see how your body reacts.Pros:• Natural and pure bee pollen with no added fillers or chemicals.• Rich in nutrients, including amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.• Boosts energy and may improve immunity and focus.• Mild, pleasant taste that mixes easily into drinks or food.• Sustainably sourced from bees.• Convenient resealable packaging keeps the product fresh.Cons:• Allergy risk for those sensitive to bee pollen or related products.• Some people may find the granules a bit hard to dissolve in water without stirring.• Relatively pricier compared to other bee pollen supplements.ConclusionOverall, I’m very impressed with Greenbow Bee Pollen. It offers a natural, nutrient-packed boost to my daily routine, with noticeable improvements in energy, immunity, and focus. The product is of high quality, tastes pleasant, and is easy to incorporate into different meals or drinks.If you’re looking for a natural way to enhance your energy and overall well-being, or you’re a fan of bee products, Greenbow Bee Pollen is definitely worth trying. Just be cautious if you have allergies to bee pollen, and start with a small amount. It’s a wonderful, natural supplement that fits well into a healthy lifestyle.
