Bee Pollen is gathered by worker bees and mixed with nectar and bee saliva.  The bees then pack this “blend” into a granule that adheres to their back legs, and carry it to the hive where it’s used to feed the colony. It's an amazing supplement for your dog's dinners.

It contains antioxidants, vitamins A, B, C, K and E as well as fatty acids (mainly Omega-3 fatty acids but it does contain a small amount of Omega-6).

The benefits of bee pollen are-

• It’s hepatoprotective – It protects and promotes a healthy liver, and assists in the healing process for a compromised liver. This makes it a good option for dogs who need to detox.
