Is papaya used in this bee pollen powder organic?

better be organic papaya, because Papaya is all GMO these days, one of the biggest GMO foods to avoid

I'm not 100% sure, as it doesn't say.. I would contact E.S. Eco, but usually everything they use is organic... I still use it and I'm pretty extreme being 100% raw vegan. If you want real bee pollen granules, not cut with any filler, get Really Raw High Desert Bee pollen... It might be a little more $ but it's worth it.. I still use both though.. Hope this helps. take care

I don't know the answer to this question. I suggest calling or e-mailing the producers as they have been helpful in the past. I've been using this bee pollen powder every morning mixed with lowfat plain yogurt, banana, and red grapes. it's a great way to start the day.Norm

It's 95% standardized, but not certified organic. It worked a miracle in my lungs. I take 2 three things a day with the last 2 taken at bedtime and i have not suffered from nasal congestion from Asthma/mucus congestion since day one of taking this product. I am not affiliated with this company or any other company. Hope this answer helps you.

No. Not necessarily. It can be used in the springduring build up and the fall as bees prepare for winter. I know some who feed it all year to weak hives. If you live in an area with less diversity in flowering plants, i'd consider it.

There is no indication that the powder is organic so I assume that it is not. I do not see an expiration date. That would seem less important for topical use than for ingestion.

I had thought the same thing. I have since read that bees only travel so many miles from the hive. I assume that if everything is organic in this range, so would the honey.

I see the product is described as follows on the site: Papain Powder - Cairca papaya, 1 lb,(Starwest Botanicals) by Starwest Botanicals. I recommend you contact Starwest directly to make sure it's pure.

No there isn't any other Ingredient in this Product. This is the Bee Pollen (whole granules).The product you're talking about is Bee Pollen and Papaya Powder.Just look at the Label and below the words Bee Pollen, you should only see Whole Granules.

Having grown up with a father who was a commercial beekeeper and doing some myself, I can tell you that all commercially and locally sold pollen is collected from the fields by the bees who then take it to the hives. As they enter the hives, the pollen is literally trapped by "pollen traps" which is collected by the beekeeper who then packages and sells the pollen. It would be an almost impossibility for a human to gather pollen in any significant amount. This is one reason why it is always called "bee pollen". It is only called that due to the fact that bees collect it. They don't manufacture it as the plants are the only thing that can. As a side note, the process of bees gathering pollen to take back to the hives to feed the babies actually pollinates the plants. This is why it is so crucial that bees be protected from anything that can kill them such as Monsanto's sprays which have been documented as being part of the problem for Colony Collapse Disorder.

According to the read-out on the container , it contains bee pollen and propolis . . . in my opinion it is a "top-notch" product . . . Stakich also sells a raw honey that has extra bee pollen and propolis added to it . . . I have also used it and it is an excellent product as well .

Yes it is raw and unprocessed as well as certified organic. I belie wits made of wildflower honey. If you go to the makers website they say their bee colonies are placed in areas where the bees can collect the pollen away from contaminants or something like that. It's really great honey.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! This cacao powder is pure and naturally delicious. Organic cacao plant powder!

This one is not organic. Some people confuse the NAME OF THE COMPANY on the jar (which says "YS Organic Bee Farms") with the product actually being organic. It is not. This is raw non-organic honey. I don't really care about the organic part, just that it's raw, AND tastes delicious. (Which I assure you this one does!)

I cannot speak for all varieties- but organic jojoba oil is a listed ingredient on my current bottle of hemp/peppermint.

I emailed the company about this, and here is their answer : "The formulas are the same. However, we use papaya in the kids and currant in the adult version. These are just used to mask the scent of zinc oxide"
