When days run long, many people look for botanical and hive-derived nutrients traditionally linked with stamina and everyday vitality. This article walks through the featured ingredients in CHF #48 Energy 120 Capsules and what research organizations report about them.
Full ingredient list (per 1-capsule serving): Proprietary blend 505 mg of bee pollen, gotu kola aerial parts, eleuthero root, octacosanol, royal jelly, and alfalfa leaf. Other ingredients: gelatin (capsule), cellulose, potato starch, silicon dioxide, and magnesium silicate. The label suggests one capsule with each meal or as directed. The product notice states it is produced in a facility that also uses derivatives of milk, fish, shellfish, tree nut, wheat, and soy.
Bee pollen is a mixture of flower pollen, nectar, and bee secretions that has been used as a traditional food for centuries. A peer-reviewed review in Nutrients (PMC) describes bee pollen as rich in proteins, essential amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols—nutrients that help explain why athletes and active adults have long reached for it as a whole-food–style supplement. Composition varies by plant source and region, so each batch reflects the flowers bees visited.
In CHF #48, bee pollen leads the 505 mg proprietary blend alongside royal jelly, another hive product valued for its dense B-vitamin and protein profile in traditional wellness practices.
Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus), sometimes called Siberian ginseng, is a traditional adaptogen used in East Asian herbal practice to support vigor and resilience during physical or mental demand. It is botanically distinct from Asian (Panax) ginseng; NCCIH’s Asian ginseng overview notes that adaptogenic herbs are thought to help the body respond to physiological stress, and fatigue-related research on ginseng-family botanicals continues to grow. Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) aerial parts have a long history in Ayurvedic and traditional Asian formulas for circulation and mental clarity topics.
Together with alfalfa leaf—a mineral-rich green—and octacosanol (a long-chain alcohol historically associated with wheat-germ oil endurance formulas), these botanicals round out CHF #48’s classic “energy blend” pattern.
Royal jelly is the nutrient-dense secretion worker bees produce for the queen. Traditional use emphasizes its protein, lipid, and B-vitamin content. Modern supplement formulas often pair it with bee pollen for a dual hive-nutrient approach. Octacosanol appears in endurance-minded products; research on performance outcomes is limited compared with established vitamins, so it sits here as a complementary traditional ingredient rather than a proven ergogenic drug.
Unlike single-nutrient B-vitamin capsules, multi-herb energy formulas aim to combine whole-food hive nutrients with traditional stamina botanicals in one serving. That approach will not replace sleep, balanced meals, or medical care for fatigue—but it offers a convenient option when your clinician agrees botanical support fits your day. Country Health positions CHF #48 for adults who want bee pollen and eleuthero together rather than shopping for each ingredient separately.
Alfalfa leaf contributes a green-plant mineral backdrop familiar from many Country Health blends, while gotu kola and eleuthero supply the adaptogen-style herbs people often associate with mental and physical resilience during busy seasons.
CHF #48 combines bee pollen and royal jelly with eleuthero, gotu kola, octacosanol, and alfalfa in a single 505 mg proprietary blend per capsule. The goal is convenient botanical-and-hive support for adults who want Country Health’s energy-minded formula with meals.
Who might enjoy it: adults seeking a multi-herb stamina capsule with bee products, people who prefer traditional adaptogen blends, and anyone whose clinician agrees bee pollen and eleuthero fit their routine.
Please check with your clinician first if you:
No. Honey is nectar processed by bees; bee pollen is pollen packed with nectar and secretions. Allergy risks can differ—follow label cautions.
The label suggests one capsule with each meal or as directed by a qualified health professional.
No. The six ingredients share a 505 mg proprietary blend; individual amounts are not broken out.
The Supplement Facts panel lists bee pollen, gotu kola, eleuthero, octacosanol, royal jelly, and alfalfa—not isolated caffeine. Cola-nut–style stimulants are not on this label (those appear in other Country Health formulas).
