Pine Pollen is an Excellent Health and Longevity Supplement
Pine Pollen is most commonly used to support hormones, even as a testosterone booster, because of the many phytoandrogens it contains.* Ours is the only scientifically vetted Pine Pollen on the market in humans for this purpose!
In addition, Pine Pollen powder is loaded with over 200 bioactive vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other beneficial phytocompounds, making it an excellent health and longevity supplement for both men and women.*
We call it the “Superfood of the 21st Century” because of how humans need the specific support it brings in our modern age.*
With over 80,000 units sold, almost 1000 reviews at 4.4 stars, and a one-year money-back guarantee, you can’t go wrong in trying what many call the best Pine Pollen supplement out there.
What is Pine Pollen?
Pine Pollen is the fine golden powder released by male pine cones each spring — essentially the “seed” of the pine tree. It’s packed with amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phyto-androgens (plant-based compounds similar to human hormones) that help nourish the body, support hormone balance, and promote overall vitality.
What is Pine Pollen?
(Ancient Superfood with 200+ Nutrients)
Pine Pollen is considered a tonic herb and has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years.* Shen Nong’s Herbal Classic stated that Pine Pollen could “lighten the body, replenish qi, and prolong life span.”*1
While many species of Pine can be used, ours comes from the Masson Pine (Pinus massoniana), which has been used most extensively historically. The pollen is the tree’s male spore, which is life-giving and so contains highly absorbable phytonutrients linked to various areas of optimal health.*
Here is a quick glance of some of the many Pine Pollen benefits:
Phytoandrogens for Hormonal Balance
Perhaps its biggest claim to fame, Pine Pollen is a significant source of phytoandrogens. These are not steroids, but instead all-natural plant compounds that can exert a beneficial influence even within the human hormone system.*
With all the natural co-factors and the small amounts of androgens, these will work with your body for adaptogenic effects.* These phytoandrogens have actually been found to connect with male hormone receptor sites in the human body.*
Gibberellins – Structurally very similar to androgens, these plant steroids jump-start the first stages of germination. Spray them on growing buds, and they will grow exponentially. Thus, they can mimic androgens in the body and stimulate androgen production.* They also appear to have a regulating action on the prostate.*
Brassinosteroids – Another essential element to plants, brassinosteroids are being used by plant growers as a highly efficient, broad-spectrum, safe plant growth regulator. Pine pollen powder contains many of the over 30 different kinds already identified.*
“My wife and I love the benefits from using Lost Empire Herbs pine pollen powder especially how it elevates our sense of well being. And, of course, the physical benefits speak for themselves. Occasionally taking 3 tablespoons before bed ALWAYS provides that ‘teenage morning magic’ that cannot be denied or ignored. We have always loved great morning nookie and at 75 & 74 respectively, we still do…! Thank you Lost Empire Herbs!” – Ron F.
Pine Pollen for Men: Testosterone & Vitality Support*
Pine Pollen powder is a powerful hormonal ally that can help boost male hormone levels when used consistently and correctly.*
Some early research suggested that Pine Pollen contains identical human hormones, such as naturally occurring testosterone, androstenedione, and DHEA.5 However, those may have been misidentified, and Pine Pollen only contains structurally similar plant hormones. In either case, for men Pine Pollen is definitely active on the human hormone system.
Testosterone levels typically start to decrease around age 30. This is when men begin to experience weight gain, muscle loss, thinning hair, moodiness, difficulty concentrating, loss of energy, and even diminished sexual function and reproductive health.
At the age of 30, it’s typical that testosterone levels begin to decrease, and by 40, about 45% of men are already deficient.
It’s great to be proactive in this area; that is where Pine Pollen for men comes in. If you’re over 30, you should consider adding Pine Pollen to your daily routine.
This can help slow the effects aging brings.* Supplementing with Pine Pollen benefits the following areas:
Ignited & Elevated Sexual Performance*
Balanced Mood & Emotional Well-Being*
Improved Strength & Composition*
Boosted Energy & Lasting Stamina*
Enhanced Physical Performance*
Strengthened Confidence & Drive*
Ignited & Elevated Sexual Performance*
Balanced Mood & Emotional Well-Being*
Improved Body Composition*
Boosted Energy & Stamina*
Enhanced Physical Performance*
Strengthened Confidence and Drive*
Some preliminary research in rats showed that Pine Pollen could even help with prostate health.6 That is something we hear from many men who start using Pine Pollen, where there are less frequent trips to the bathroom.
Natural Total and Free Testosterone Support
Our Pine Pollen, specifically in the tincture format, has recently been scientifically validated for boosting testosterone and improving quality of life in men 45 and older.*2 See the study published in Annals of Clinical and Medical Case Reports, Pine Pollen Impacts Testosterone-Related Symptoms in Older Men: A Pilot Report.
The follow-up study, Pine Pollen Impacts Hypogonadal Symptoms in Younger Men with Variations in Androgen Levels: Pilot Observations, looked at younger men and revealed even more impressive details about how this herb works.*3
Here, there was a reduction in sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), leading to an increase in free testosterone levels, while total testosterone remained unchanged.* These men saw significant improvements to both quality of life and sexual performance and satisfaction.*
If you’re looking for these benefits, then check out our Pine Pollen Tincture specifically. The way we like to describe it is that the tincture is better for directly boosting testosterone, while the powder (and capsules) are more for optimizing the hormones and providing nutrition.* Many customers love taking both!
What can I say about Pine Pollen? Absolutely monstrous! It and Black Ant extract together really bring out the masculinity in you. I find that it makes me so grounded and calm but assertive and confident.

Morning Wood Guaranteed*
Has your morning wood vanished? Try this method to bring it back. For whatever reason, the Pine Pollen powder seems especially great to assist this.* And if it is working in the morning, it tends to work at other times too!
For men, take a large dose of Pine Pollen mixed in 8 oz. of water before going to bed. While many men report instant results, some get them after a week or month of consistent use in this way.
Nocturnal Penile Tumescence, as the scientists call it, is a natural process that occurs in healthy men. When your hormones are working right, this should be a daily occurrence. Here is what others are saying…
“I love this product, I can feel it when I take it. And yes two mega doses does bring morning wood.” – Randall Jennings
“Pine pollen Rocks! I don’t like to go a day without it. I use a heaping tbsp. before bed and a level tbsp. in morning. I wake with Hard Wood every day” – Greg Russell
“So I have tried 3 scoop morning wood thing, does not happen every night but has others so don’t know what to make of that, I will continue to use in hopes helps every night, I am 60 but still don’t believe you guys put age on it.” – Steve Robarge
Pine Pollen for Women: Hormone Balance & Beauty*
Women often experience noticeable hormonal imbalances during certain stages in life, such as during menstruation, puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. In addition, some conditions, lifestyle habits, and environmental factors create hormonal imbalances in women.
These imbalances can quickly result in increased moodiness, burnout, weight gain, hair loss, loss of sex drive, and much more…
In general, hormone levels peak in the 20s and then steadily decline. By menopause, women’s hormones are half of what they were at their peak. This imbalance and loss of hormone production can begin to wreak havoc on the body physically, mentally, and emotionally.
“If you were a 58 yo female, you might also be delighted to report noticeable reductions in unwanted facial hair after only less than 4 weeks consuming pine pollen capsules. My energy and stamina, feeling optimal.”

This is where Pine Pollen comes in.* With its dense nutritional makeup loaded with bio-available plant-based hormones, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and more, Pine Pollen for women helps support:*
In addition, Pine Pollen for women can then help deal with some of the hormonal difficulties, including in:*7
“I’m 51, and I believe I’m experiencing menopause as symptoms have been intense. Super dosed with pine pollen, and it was either placebo effect, or product effect. Either way, my body eased.” Jill D. (Verified Customer)
A lot of attention is given to Pine Pollen for helping with testosterone, but it also supports the anti-aging hormone DHEA (a weak androgen). Read this message from Candace to see for yourself…
“We emailed a little while ago about your Pine Pollen. I started using it beginning of August for extremely low DHEA levels detected in a blood test.
they were so low they weren’t even on the chart (<1) and low progesterone… I was told I had to go on DHEA supplement but because I’m breastfeeding I did not want to do that as it’s not good for the baby and I didn’t want to wean my baby.
I started taking the powder round mid-August and it’s been amazing! I had two sets of blood work since then (for Hypothyroid) and asked them to test DHEA as-well first test came back at 56 (low end of normal) and my last test came back 135 NORMAL 😀 😀 😀
I still think it can raise a little as the normal range goes just over 1000 so I will continue. My progesterone has also balanced out. can’t express my happiness and gratitude! DHEA supplements take over the function of your body making it, Pine Pollen supports your body in making its own!
I couldn’t be happier. I took 1 tablespoon on empty stomach in the morning and recently increased to 2. Thank you so much. My 17-month-old breastfed baby is also doing Great and I noticed absolutely no affects for him with me taking it and nursing. Thank you again for your amazing herbs and assistance in healing!”

Other Pine Pollen Benefits: Energy, Anti-Aging & Immunity
The benefits extend beyond the hormonal effects but extend far across the body. Here we spotlight just a few of the other areas.
Energy & Stamina Boost
Definitely, its effects on the endocrine system can play a role here, but also the wide variety of nutrients comes into play as well. Many people note that they have greater energy than before starting with this best Pine Pollen supplement.*
Anti-Aging & Skin Health
Pine Pollen anti-aging effects include antioxidant and inflammation-modulating properties.*8,9 There is some limited evidence that it even offers neurological protection as well.*10
In China, Pine Pollen has been used for thousands of years; it is considered one of the best beauty tonics for women.*
Several of its compounds support elastin and collagen, which can promote radiant skin, hair growth, and strengthen the nails. The powder can be used topically in addition to internally.*
It’s even been shown to accelerate wound healing.*11
Immune System Support
Pine Pollen is rich in polysaccharides such as arabinogalactan, xylogalacturonan and many others.12,13 Some evidence suggests it helps to regulate intestinal mucosal immunity.*14
One polysaccharide, named PM60-III, seemed to be especially useful in reducing inflammation, and supporting the gut microbiome, reducing harmful bacteria (such as Akkermansia and Aerococcus) and increasing beneficial bacteria (such as lactobacillus).*15
The polysaccharides have been shown to exhibit some anti-viral effects against multiple viruses.*16,17
Pine Pollen immune support is another side benefit that many experience when they take it for something like its hormonal effects.* Those side benefits are much better than side effects!
Liver Support and Detoxification of Environmental Pollutants
Another way using Pine Pollen for hormone balance works is how it may help with various toxins. Our environment is full of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, including xenoestrogens (like BPA), antiandrogens (like phthalates) and more. This is from drinking water, pesticides, plastics, skincare and more.*
Research has shown that not only is Pine Pollen protective of the liver (hepatoprotective) but even helped to raise the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) as well as glutathione, the body’s top two antioxidants.*18-20
It’s no wonder one of the early benefits people shared with us is how taking Pine Pollen seemed to lessen alcohol hangovers!
Some other research even showed its ability to protect from the heavy metal cadmium.*21

Why Choose Our Pine Pollen? (Quality & Purity)
Our wild-harvested Pine Pollen is collected from the mountainous regions of China in Yunnan province. We use the Masson Pine (Pinus massoniana), which has been used historically and has the most scientific research behind it.
After harvesting, it is processed at low temperatures to crack the pollen’s cell wall, producing a superior product that is over 99% digestible. Research has shown that cell wall broken pollen more easily releases its nutrients.22
Ours is non-irradiated, but instead steam sterilized. No need for refrigeration.
Store in a cool, dry place and pine pollen will stay potent for up to a year once opened. Refrigeration may extend this time in less-than-ideal climates.
Our Pine Pollen has been tested and found to contain no PDE-5 Inhibitors or Analogues. This commonly used group of added ingredients is typically cut with inferior quality sex herbs, and these are the active ingredients in the little blue pill and various related drugs. You won’t find our Pine Pollen at Whole Foods.
Despite coming from China, it passes our more stringent heavy metal standards, this is far stricter than most companies use. It has been shown to be free of pesticides, glyphosate, GMOs, and more. This is why many consider it the best Pine Pollen supplement compared to competitors.
For more info, review our extensive lab analysis of Pine Pollen in the lab results tab at the top of the page.
Again, our Pine Pollen is the only scientifically vetted for use in humans on the market.

How to Take Pine Pollen (Dosage & Timing)
It is best to take Pine Pollen twice per day. Once in the morning and once in either the afternoon or evening. This helps to support your hormones, which modulate throughout the day.
How to Take Pine Pollen Powder
The recommended dose of pine pollen powder is ½ to 1 teaspoon twice per day. Many people get significant benefits with this dose.
Let it dissolve in your mouth to increase the chance of instant digestion and partial absorption of phytoandrogens right into your bloodstream. This should provide the best possible anabolic effect with pine pollen powder.
Larger doses recommended by Chinese Medicine makes sense when one sees the number of nutrients involved. Some people take up to three tablespoons of Pine Pollen powder per day.
How to Take Pine Pollen Capsules
The recommended dosage is 3 capsules twice per day (.43 Grams per Capsule). Many people get significant benefits with this dose. Increase the dosage as you see fit.
The capsules themselves are made of pullulan, which is produced from starch by the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. It is a natural polysaccharide of non-animal origin. So they’re vegan and animal-free, non-GMO, and gluten-free.
Pine Pollen Side Effects & Safety
While Pine Pollen is safe for most users, individual reactions can vary, and some people may experience side effects. Here are some of the most commonly reported Pine Pollen side effects:
- Allergic Reactions: Although Pine Pollen is considered to be less allergenic than other types of pollen, it can still trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Those with pollen allergies may experience symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes. We recommend you take a small initial dose to make sure it doesn’t trigger allergies.
- Gastrointestinal Issues: For some people, Pine Pollen can cause digestive discomfort. Common symptoms include bloating, gas, or an upset stomach, especially when taken in higher doses.
- Drug Interactions: Pine Pollen may interact with medications, especially those that regulate hormones. It’s crucial to consult a healthcare provider if you are taking any hormone-related medications.
- The phytoandrogen content may possibly pose a risk for individuals with hormone-sensitive conditions, such as prostate cancer or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It’s essential to seek medical advice if you have any known hormone-sensitive health issues before beginning Pine Pollen supplementation.
