What is Graminex® Flower Pollen Extract?
Rye grass (Secale cerale), Timothy grass (Phleum pretense), and corn (Zea mays) belong to the Graminaceae and Poaceae families, a group of plants cultivated around the world for their many agricultural purposes and to promote health and well-being. The pollen harvested from the blooms of these grasses supplies a diverse array of beneficial nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, proteins, fatty acids, enzymes, phytosterols and more. With its potent nutritional profile, pollen has been prized for decades in Europe and Asia. Today, pollen is used worldwide to support prostate health, urinary function, women’s health and other aspects of wellness.**
Graminex® is a patented flower pollen extract (FPE) made with proprietary Swiss technology. Other forms of pollen, such as bee pollen, are collected in a random fashion. Graminex®, however, harvests its pollen from rye grass to create a standardized product with precise nutritional ratios and potencies. Graminex® Flower Pollen also utilizes a special organic process that removes pollen’s outer husk, thereby eliminating allergens, fungus, yeast, molds and other toxins. By “breaking open” microscopic pollen grains and discarding the husk, Graminex can access and extract pure pollen nutrition that is easy to absorb and extremely well-tolerated.**
Graminex® Flower Pollen Extract (FPE) may be most highly regarded for its support of prostate health and urinary tract function, benefits attributed to its antioxidant activity and inflammation-modulating properties. Within the prostate, FPE counters inflammation, soothes swelling and blocks DHT, a type of male sex hormone that has been linked with prostate problems. FPE also naturally supplies nutrients that are important for prostate health, including selenium, amino acids and zinc. These properties combine to encourage ideal prostate wellness and function, which in turn promotes urinary comfort and healthy sexual performance.**
Graminex® Flower Pollen also supports urinary health and comfort by relaxing urethra walls while optimizing bladder contraction. Research has suggested that FPE may benefit many aspects of urinary wellness; it has been shown to help with urinary discomfort, urinary frequency, nighttime urination, urinary hesitancy, dribbling, incomplete bladder emptying and urinary difficulty.**
FPE’s links with some women’s health concerns are attributed to its naturally occurring phytoestrogens. These compounds mimic the effects of estrogen in the body, and may account for FPE’s assistance with hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. Early studies have suggested that pollen may help with PMS symptoms, as well.**
Additional research indicates that flower pollen contains anti-microbial properties that can help reduce bacteria in the upper respiratory tract and reduce the frequency of seasonal allergies. As a rich source of plant sterols, FPE may help to balance blood cholesterol already within normal range, supporting cardiovascular wellness. Its high antioxidant activity may hold even more promise for immune system performance and healthy aging applications.**
