The present invention relates to a natural fermented composition of pollen using glacial snow water obtained by mixing pollen, such as bee pollen, pollen, and edible flowers, with glacial snow water and fermenting same, and a preparation method therefor. In the present invention, provided is a composition obtained by mixing glacial snow water having a pH of 7.5 to 8.8 and a density of 0.05-0.85 g/cm.sup.3 with one or more kinds of pollens selected from bee pollen, pollen, flower buds, floral leaves, and floral nectaries and fermenting the mixture for three months or longer without inoculation of microorganisms. The natural fermented composition of the pollens of the present invention contains a wide variety of nutritional and active ingredients, and can exhibit various effects. Especially, since the composition has excellent antioxidative effects, the composition may be used for foods and beverages, antioxidant drinks, etc.
