Too much too soon cause hormone imbalance in men?

My husband started taking 1 tsp. bee pollen granules on wednesday. By friday he was not himself.....very shut down on one hand and then emotional on the next. Was becoming very depressed....even thinking of suicide.
My husband is normally very easy going and is nothing like the person I was seeing. The only difference with him...he started bee pollen and maca powder. I know bee pollen has hormones and I really feel as though it might be the problem. I think he would of done better starting off slower...2 to 3 granules and building from there.
Can you please tell me if I'm on the right track or not?
Thank you so much for all your help.
Sincerely,
Sherri

Hi Sherri,
First things first - have him stop taking the bee pollen to see if his symptoms subside. If his mood continues in this manner, please get him some professional help. I have never encountered such symptoms but to be safe, stop both products immediately. Maca is more of a hormonal tonic than bee pollen so if there is a hormone issue, it would be the maca.

Please post back here and let me know how he responds.
