Can bee pollen cure impotence?
On One Hand: Lack of Scientific EvidenceNo clinical trials have pronounced bee pollen supplements capable of reversing or preventing impotence. In 1989, the Federal Trade Commission sued one bee pollen manufacturer, Bee-Alive Inc., for alleging that its bee-related products, including bee pollen, could feasibly treat a myriad of afflictions, including impotence. In response, the company retracted its claims.On the Other: Bee Pollen Does Have BenefitsEastern medical practices, like Traditional Chinese Medicine, have historically employed bee pollen to provide vitamins and nutrients, and to increase physical stamina. However, no specific mention appears of using bee pollen to cure impotence. Most claims linking bee pollen to sexual virility seem to originate with manufacturers of bee pollen products.Bottom LineWhile individual results may vary, evidence supporting bee pollen’s role in increased sexual potency is anecdotal.
