bee pollen = Vit A, B, C, D, E.

feed your fish well, you will be adding all those to the tank daily from the fish food.

sure, it also contains all 8 essential Amino acids [which I would not add all to my reef, corals cant break down long chained AAs and they would just degrade water] it also contains 25% proteins.
it also contains over 28 minerals, 11 enzymes, and 14 different fatty acids.

here are some Phyto-chemicals in it :
Flaxoxanthine (this helps give pollen its golden yellow color)

Xanthophyll epixide

Carotene

Epiphasic carotenoids

Flavonoids,

Ethylic ether,

Quercetin (bioflavonoid),

Zeaxathin (is a strong antioxidant substance)

and Lycopene (which is probably why pollen is proving very effective for prostate issues)


yes, its mother natures multu vitamine, I dont think for corals though
