Pine pollen, also called pollen pini, is one of the strongest androgens found in nature. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years – as a health restorative, longevity tonic, and anti-aging nutrient. The oldest mention of pine pollen is in the classic pharmacology text The Pandect of Materia Medica, written by Shen Nong during the Han dynasty.

Pine pollen can increase free testosterone levels in blood, and restore androgen/estrogen balance.

Pine pollen contains at least 20 amino acids (including all 8 essentials), 30 minerals and trace elements, 15 vitamins (vitamins A, B, C, and even D3), fatty acids (omega 3, -6, -9), coenzymes, polysaccharides, flavonoids, more than 100 different enzymes, nucleic acids, lecithin and a total of more than 200 bioactive compounds such as testosterone, androsterone, antioxidants, MSM, superoxide dismutase (SOD), inositol, polyphenols. As you can see, we are talking about an extremely nutritious food!

Why to Use Pine Pollen

Pine pollen can increase free testosterone levels in blood, and restore androgen/estrogen balance. This is important for both males and females; the threats inherent in our modern lifestyle, such as pollution, chemicals, stress and poor diet, tend to disturb the balance, leading to a variety of diseases and unwanted conditions. Loaded with nutrients, pine pollen is an excellent addition to a healthy diet. It also increases SOD (the most potent antioxidant for the human body) in the heart, liver and brain, enhances immunity and supports healthy endocrine function.

Traditionally, pine pollen has been used for moistening the lungs, reducing fatigue and rheumatic pain, improving skin condition, stimulating the immune system, increasing mental speed, clarity and agility, treating prostate problems and assisting weight loss.

How to Use Pine Pollen

Pine pollen is used in cosmetic as well as pharmaceutical and medicinal products. Although one can find pine pollen powder and capsules in normal supermarkets across China and Korea, in the West it is still quite uncommon. Fortunately, there are few companies that provide this superfood in common dietary supplement forms – powders, tinctures and capsules. There are no known side effects to the use of pine pollen, so one can enjoy it daily without worrying about any unwanted aftereffects.
