The promising uses of bee pollen for malnutrition, digestive health, metabolic disorders, and other bioactivities which could be helpful to readjust homeostasis (as it is also true in the case of anti-inflammatory or anti-oxidant needs), as well as the benefits on cardiovascular diseases, were identified. This scoping review analyzed scientific works published in the last four years, focusing on the clearest inferences and perspectives to translate cumulated experimental and preclinical evidence into clinically relevant insights. We mainly focused on bee pollen richness in nutrients and its possible roles in the main pathophysiological processes that are directly linked to nutritional imbalances. In this work, we reviewed the available evidence on the interest in bee pollen as a nutrient source. This matrix is being extensively studied, and has proven to be a very rich and well-balanced nutrient pool.

In recent years, bee pollen is emerging as a scientifically validated candidate, which can help diminish conditions through nutritional interventions. Nutritional deficiencies and imbalances have been widely demonstrated to be involved in the genesis and development of many world-scale public health burdens, such as metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. The emphasis on healthy nutrition is gaining a forefront place in current biomedical sciences.
