Hi every one,

I'm trying to find out how many mgs (or what %) of actual pollen there is in
a typical 500 mg tablet of the "run of the mill" bee pollen tablets (a large
% of the 500 mg is for the husk).  I tried calling several suppliers of bee
pollen tablets, and no one knows.  I wrote Cerniton America (who makes
Cernilton - which has 60 mg of water soluble pollen extract concentrate per
tablet, and 3 mg of fat soluble), and they gave me the run-around and said
their product was better because it was actual pollen extracted from the
husks, but would not tell me what the % was, so I could do the math and see
if buying plain bee pollen tablets was just as good.

I would greatly appreciate it, if some one could shed some light on this.
It seems reasonable to me that the actual pollen in a 500 mg tablet could be
60 mg, since that is only 12% of the combined husk and pollen, plus you may
get a little fiber benefit from the husk that is in the pill, small as it
may be.
