From what I've heard, if you just eat the pollen/take it in capsules, the digestive process will break down the testosterone/androsterone/epiandrosterone but it's still a healthy food for vitamin and mineral content. For the hormone boost, use an extract and hold it sublingually for a minute or two before swallowing, but this will mostly only help you feel better, get a little more energy, and mostly only if you're older, but it won't be enough to get anabolic effects.
