  • Question
    For the best nutritional benefit, should I take bee pollen with food, or is it just as effective to take it alone?
    Community Answer
    Each manufacturer has instructions on their product as far as how much to take and how to take it. As mentioned above, you can get it into your diet many different ways. When taking it like a vitamin, most people will put some under their tongue to dissolve just like a sublingual B12 vitamin. It should usually be taken apart from things high in iron, as iron and B vitamins should never be taken together. Taking it with magnesium or even in a fruit smoothie or acai bowl is a good idea if the taste bothers you.
