Shiva Organic Bee Pollen — collected direct from beekeepers across India's pristine flowering fields. Oven-dried at 45°C to lock in 21g protein, all 22 amino acids, and over 250 bioactive compounds in every 100g.
Often called nature's multivitamin — bee pollen is one of the most nutritionally complete foods on earth.
Bee pollen is a fine, powdery substance collected from the stamens of blossoming flowers by worker bees, who pack it into pellets on their hind legs and carry it back to the hive. It is granulated naturally by bees themselves — mixed with nectar and the bees' own enzymes — making it a truly living food unlike any supplement manufactured in a factory.
It is referred to as a complete food because it contains nearly all the nutrients required by the human body: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids — in a single natural source. Ancient civilisations called it "life-giving dust." Modern science validates what they knew intuitively.
Shiva Organic sources its pollen direct from beekeepers in Uttarakhand and South India — ensuring purity, freshness, and traceability from hive to jar with zero middlemen.
Each variety has a distinct nutritional profile. Both are extraordinary. Here's how to choose.
Collected from Brassica fields of Uttarakhand and Rajasthan during the Oct–March mustard bloom. Bright yellow-green pellets with a mildly earthy, slightly sweet taste. The highest protein variety we offer — ideal for athletes, muscle recovery and those seeking maximum protein density.
Harvested from coconut palms of Kerala and Andhra Pradesh — available almost year-round, with peak collection August to December. Cream-coloured pellets with a delicate, mildly sweet flavour. Exceptionally rich in calcium and zinc — ideal for bone health, immunity, skin and reproductive health.
From ancient apitherapy to modern clinical research — the health benefits of bee pollen are wide and well-documented.

India's extraordinary biodiversity, pollution-free farming regions and ancient beekeeping traditions produce pollen that simply cannot be matched.
Mustard fields of Uttarakhand and Rajasthan, coconut palms of Kerala — all far from industrial pollution. CBRTI research confirms Indian pollen contains significantly higher mineral concentrations than European counterparts.
Indian Apis mellifera colonies are managed by generational beekeepers who follow sustainable trapping — collecting only during peak bloom, ensuring maximum pollen potency and zero colony stress.
Mustard pollen at 30.4% protein and sesame at 38.1% — far exceeding the global average of 20%. CBRTI research confirms India's major pollen sources consistently deliver above benchmark nutrition.
Every batch of Shiva Organic bee pollen is tested at Intertek India — one of the world's most respected independent testing agencies. Certificate available with every purchase.
No middlemen. No blending with imported or low-grade pollen. Shiva Organic buys directly from beekeepers in Uttarakhand and South India — so you get exactly what the label says.
How pollen is dried after harvest makes an enormous difference to its nutritional value, safety and shelf life.
Freshly collected bee pollen contains 18–29% moisture — far too high for safe storage. To prevent mould, fungi and bacterial spoilage, pollen must be dried quickly and carefully.
CBRTI/KVIC research (India's apex bee research body) specifies that warm-air drying at 45°C is the gold standard — warm enough to reduce moisture to 5–8%, but gentle enough to preserve heat-sensitive B-vitamins, antioxidant polyphenols and amino acid integrity.
Sun-drying exposes pollen to UV radiation which degrades antioxidants, vitamin C and flavonoids. Uncontrolled temperatures spike above 60°C in direct sun, denaturing the very proteins that make bee pollen valuable.
Every jar of Shiva Organic bee pollen is oven-dried in our controlled facility — not left out in the open sun.

Bee pollen contains 20–30g protein per 100g — but that's just the beginning. Here's the full picture.
Granules, capsules or blended with raw honey — pick the format that fits your lifestyle.
Start low and go slow. Bee pollen is potent — a little goes a long way.
Bee pollen works best as a daily supplement — taken consistently rather than in large occasional doses. Most users report noticeable energy improvements in 2–3 weeks, with deeper benefits (immunity, hormonal balance, recovery) building over 6–12 weeks of regular use.
Bee pollen's reputation as an athletic superfood is built on real biochemistry. With 20–30g protein per 100g — comparable to chicken breast on a gram-for-gram basis — bee pollen delivers all 22 amino acids including the essential branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine that drive muscle protein synthesis after exercise.
The Intertek lab analysis of Shiva Organic pollen confirms 67.46g carbohydrates per 100g — a mix of simple and complex sugars that provides both rapid and sustained energy. Unlike synthetic pre-workouts, this energy comes with B-vitamins and minerals that support cellular energy production through the Krebs cycle.
B5 (pantothenic acid) in bee pollen is critical for coenzyme A synthesis — the molecule at the centre of energy metabolism. Deficiency in B5 manifests as chronic fatigue, muscle weakness and poor recovery. Bee pollen provides meaningful B5 alongside the full B-complex constellation that powers every energy-producing reaction in the body.
Shop Mustard Pollen — Highest Protein →Bee pollen's effects on reproductive health are among its most researched benefits. In women, phytoestrogens and flavonoids in bee pollen interact with estrogen receptors to support hormonal balance — particularly valuable in PCOS, irregular cycles, and the hormonal turbulence of perimenopause and menopause.
Clinical research shows bee pollen supplementation can improve ovarian function, follicular development and egg quality in women undergoing fertility treatment. The folic acid content is significant for pregnancy preparation — supporting DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing cells and reducing neural tube defect risk.
For men, zinc (13.48 ppm in mustard pollen) is the cornerstone of testosterone synthesis and sperm health. Zinc deficiency is the single most common nutritional cause of male infertility. Bee pollen's naturally chelated zinc — bound to amino acids — is substantially more bioavailable than inorganic zinc supplements.
Bee pollen contains over 250 identified bioactive compounds including polyphenols, flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin), carotenoids and phenolic acids — forming one of nature's most complete antioxidant matrices in a single food.
These compounds work together to neutralise free radicals, reduce chronic inflammation (a root cause of arthritis, cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome), and support the immune system's ability to distinguish between real threats and harmless substances — explaining both the anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory effects documented in research.
The 188.93mg calcium per 100g (Intertek data) supports nerve transmission and immune cell activation, while the 8.21mg iron ensures adequate haemoglobin to carry oxygen to immune cells throughout the body. Low iron is the most common nutritional cause of immune compromise worldwide.
Always begin with ¼ teaspoon and wait 24 hours. Bee pollen can cause allergic reactions in pollen-sensitive individuals. Initial small doses are essential to check for any reaction.
Pregnant and nursing women should consult a healthcare provider before using bee pollen. While generally considered safe, caution is warranted given limited clinical data in this population.
Those on blood thinners, immunosuppressants or specific medications should consult their doctor before starting bee pollen supplementation.
Bee pollen is a versatile and beneficial addition to the diet of anyone over the age of 4 years, offering a wealth of nutrients for growing bodies and active lifestyles.
Bee pollen is an extraordinary supplement, but it is not a substitute for a balanced diet or a standalone solution for chronic illnesses. Always use alongside — not instead of — medical care.
Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration prolongs freshness and potency. Once opened, consume within 6–9 months for peak nutritional value.
