I bought my pollen at a market. Is it safe?

by Jacqueline O.
(Spain)

I live in Spain, where can I buy safe bee pollen from here. Are health food shops ok? I recently bought some from a market. It was sold with no label inside a glass jar and looked the real deal. Having read your info I am worried that this pollen could cause me harm as I do not know whether it is safe. Please advise therefore where I should buy in future, thank you. I live in the Costa Del Sol area.

Angela's Response:

Hi Jacqueline,
I would suggest you go back to the market and speak to the people you bought it from. Ask them where they grow/source their bee pollen from and use my site as a guide to ensure that you are getting a good product. Hopefully you bought the pollen direct from the bee keeper so he'd be able to answer your questions.

Bee Pollen at Mercadona
by: Bianca

Hi, I also live on the Costa del Sol, Spain. I bought my Bee Pollen at Mercadona the other day. Started using them and so far no side effects. If you are concerned about the ones you bought on the market, dont use them and go with the ones from the shop. :)
