High Desert Aller-Bee-Gone
 HIGH
DESERT Aller Bee-Gone is a powerful mixture of
27 different herbs in addition to our High
Desert Bee Pollen. Aller Bee-Gone is the product
that proved the value of natural alternative
products to Sen. Tom Harkin. His great
experience with our Aller Bee-Gone inspired him
to create and federally fund the Office Of
Alternative Medicine..
The Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC)
test** is an emerging standard by which science
measures antioxidant activity in foods and
dietary supplements. Antioxidants are important
to protect the body's cells from damage caused
by free radicals (reactive oxygen species). Cell
membranes are susceptible to free radicals
because they are largely composed of fatty acids
(lipid bi-layer). Poly-unsaturated fatty acids
are particularly susceptible to
free-radical-mediated oxidation because of their
unique structure. Cell membrane damage due to
oxidation of fatty acid membrane components
(lipid peroxidation) can lead to the disruption
of the function and structure of entire cells.
It is important to maintain normal levels of
lipid peroxidation of lipoproteins.
Dietary antioxidants, or free
radical-scavengers, may play a preventive role
in protecting a person's health. High levels of
antioxidant activity, as determined by ORAC,
have been found to be present in blueberries and
black raspberries. When the ORAC scores of these
berries became known annual consumption of those
fruits increased dramatically. Berries became
reputed to be the foods possessing the most
antioxidant activity of all the whole foods. The
highest ORAC scores for wild blueberries is
listed at 61 ORAC units (umole TE/g). Black
raspberries scored higher at 164 ORAC units.
Recently High Desert Bee Pollen tested for ORAC
antioxidant activity by an independent lab. The
result was 247 ORAC units, the highest score
ever recorded for any whole food. As a
"functional food", nothing comes close to High
Desert Bee Pollen.
