I've heard that bee pollen is complete snakeoil. I actually was taking a mix green supplement which contained it in it, and for some reason I had a terrible shortness of breath and tightness in my chest while taking it.

As soon as I stopped it went away. Maybe I'm allergic to bees? but yeah, bee pollen = hogwash
