Pollen polysaccharide can activate the phagocytic function of macrophages and improve human disease resistance. The research group of the State Sports Commission has studied the improvement of athletes' ability by pollen. Eating 15g pollen every day for three months proves that pollen can obviously improve the working ability of the heart, enhance endurance and skeletal muscle strength, and the number of heartbeats after exercise is significantly lower than that before eating pollen.

Inositol in pollen can make white hair black, gradually lose hair and keep hair black and bright. The experiment shows that the mice that eat pollen can obviously increase the ATP content in red blood cells of old mice, and the free radicals in myocardium of middle-aged and old mice decrease after eating pollen, while the superoxide dismutase X(SOD) in liver and lung tissue is obviously doubled, especially in lung, and lipofuscin (senile pigment) in muscle and cerebral cortex is also obviously reduced. In addition, pollen can also reduce the chemiluminescence intensity of free radicals in houseflies and significantly enhance the activity of SOD, suggesting that pollen has anti-aging effect. 3. Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: Flavonoids in pollen can effectively remove fat deposits on blood vessel walls, thus softening blood vessels and lowering blood lipids. 4.
