Pine Pollen – The Superfood of the 21st Century
Pine Pollen may be one of the most potent and powerful herbs or foods available today. It is the male spore of the pine tree and has been used for thousands of years.
There are 126 species of the genus Pinus, but only a select few are used for their amazing pine pollen benefits. Ours is collected from the Masson Pine (aka Chinese Oil Pine) from the mountainous regions at an altitude of 500-800 meters.

Cell Wall Broken Pine Pollen Powder
Like chlorella, pine pollen has a hard shell on it. If this is not broken then the nutrition that is found in pine pollen will not be as readily available to your body.
The powder is processed through a low temperature and high-speed airflow sporoderm-breaking technology, leaving 99% of the pine pollen with the cell walls broken, with sizes of around 1 to 2 micrograms and thus increased availability to your body.
Pine pollen has over 200 bioactive vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other super nutrients in every single serving. It is a wild-harvested superfood with no added chemicals or preservatives.
Pine Pollen is a Rare Source of Phyto-Androgens
These can help combat all those endocrine disrupting xeno-estrogens our environment is full of these days, from drinking water, pesticides, plastics and more.*
This includes:
- Androstenedione
- Androgens
- DHEA
- Androsterone
This is not a steroid and you won’t have any of the side effects of those drugs. Instead, with all the natural co-factors and the small amounts of androgens these will work with your body for adaptogenic effects.*
Gibberellins – Structurally very similar to androgens. These are basically plant steroids that jumpstart the first stages of germination. Spray them on growing buds and they will grow exponentially. They are found most in the buds and pollens of plants. They have been found to actually connect with male hormones receptors in the human body. 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 contains many of the over 30 different kinds already identified. Two of the brassinosteroids in pine pollen are the mechanism through which the liver safely removes xenobiotic substances, such as xenoestrogens, from the body system.*
For more of the anabolic effects, you’ll want to get the Pine Pollen Tincture. This is best for bodybuilding with pine pollen.
Morning Wood Guaranteed…
For men, take a three tablespoon dose of pine pollen (a megadose) mixed in 8 oz. of water before going to bed. If you don’t wake up with “morning wood” you can send back the unused portion of your pine pollen for a full refund. But when you do wake up “erect” feel free to leave a review of our pine pollen below.
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.
When on pine pollen one man said he had to “piss in the bathtub” each morning. As for how this translates to other functioning, I’ll leave that up to your imagination.
Note that this is a bigger dose than typically recommended, but it helps to ensure you “feel” the effects. Experiment to find the right dose of pine pollen for you so that this occurs every day and be sure to check out the details regarding our Megadose Protocol below.
Of course, nothing works for everyone, but this does for many.
Pine Pollen is Great for Women Too
In China, where pine pollen has been used for thousands of years, it is considered one of the great beauty tonics for women. Yes, it can be used on your skin too. Several of its compounds support both elastin and collagen. And taken internally, with its wide variety of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants and more it’ll help promote your health.
Many women get scared off when they see the word “androgens”, not realizing that they too need these hormones, just in lesser amounts than men. Taking pine pollen, especially in powdered form, will not make you wake up with a mustache, deepen your voice, or sprout huge muscles.
Pine pollen is used by women for the same reason as it is used by men, to battle high levels of xeno-estrogens which do not discriminate between genders. This imbalance of high estrogen and low male hormones is linked to a number of conditions like loss of muscle tone, osteoporosis, diabetes, low libido and weight gain. Pine pollen can play a significant role in helping to balance those hormones by increasing androgenic hormones and detoxify harmful xeno-estrogens.
The tinctured form, which concentrates and makes the phyto-androgens more bioavailability, is generally not recommended for women. That being said we have reports from many ladies, especially in post-menopausal years, that have received great benefits from the tinctured version.

Dosing and Megadosing
Pine Pollen Capsules: The recommended dosage is 3 capsules 2x per day (.43 Grams per Capsule)
Megadosing Pine Pollen Capsules: 11-22 capsules daily (5 – 10 Grams)
Pine Pollen Powder: Standard recommended dose of pine pollen powder is 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per day. Many people get significant benefits with this maintenance dose.
MEGADOSING Pine Pollen Powder: 1 1/2 – 3 tablespoons daily (5-10 Grams)
“Oral dosing in China runs from 5 to 10 grams per day.”
– Stephen Harrod Buhner
The massive doses recommended by Chinese Medicine makes sense when one sees the number of nutrients involved. One tablespoon approximates to 3 grams of pine pollen. To get 10 grams of pine pollen in as easy a manner to remember as possible, you can take one slightly heaping tablespoon first thing when you wake up, again around noon or after a workout, and then lastly before going to bed. This also loosely takes advantage of the body’s daily natural testosterone cycle. Some people also just take all three tablespoons all at once.
Some prefer megadosing for more potent effects instead of just taking pine pollen tincture, for various reasons. To make the most out of your pine pollen while megadosing, take a whole tablespoon three times a day and let it dissolve in your mouth to increase the chance of instant digestion and partial absorption of androgens right into your bloodstream. This should provide the best possible androgenic effect with pine pollen powder.
For more powerful effect, turn to pine pollen tincture. Some people like to megadose the pine pollen powder, while also taking the tincture as well. This should provide the strongest results. Be sure to cycle the tincture though as this can be far too strong for people’s bodies to handle. Too high testosterone too fast could result in its aromatization to estrogen.
You have 3 options here for pine pollen, you can get a 50-gram bag of powder, a 250-gram bag of powder and 150 Capsule bottle. Of course, you save some money with the larger bag and you can use it for megadosing or just simply to have more for longer on the maintenance dose.
You can order multiple bags by increasing the quantity in your shopping cart.
What are these Capsules made of?
The ingredients of our Pine Pollen Capsules are as follows:
- Non-irradiated, wild harvested Pinus massoniana pollen
- Organic Brown Rice Powder
- Silica (Diatomaceous Earth)
Both the organic brown rice powder and the diatomaceous earth are in very meager amounts. They are unfortunately needed for the industrial pilling process as they are used as excipients and flow agents to allow the pollen to be pilled by machines.
While we wish we could not have the two them in the pills, current technology does not allow for something like pine pollen to be pilled without flow agents. Human hand pilling is just too slow to be cost-effective as well, and if it were the only such option, we would not be able to provide a product that more people will take because they can avoid the mess and taste.
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.
Pullulan is not produced by chemical modification, and is therefore 100% natural, unlike hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a product that is a non-ionic cellulose ether made through a series of chemical processes, with the natural polymer cellulose as the raw material. The reason this is important (and useful) is because these fermented vegetable capsules are 1) largely natural and therefore safer than many other capsules and 2) actually protect what’s inside them from oxidization, which keeps the pine pollen potency from degrading.
Here’s a bit more about Pullulan:
- not produced by chemical modification, 100% natural
- manufactured by natural fermentation of plant extracts
- neither genetically modified nor pathogenic
- well known in the pharmaceutical and food industry
- non-allergenic
- starch- and gluten-free
So if you don’t wish to taste the pollen, these capsules are a safe, easy, and effective way to get it in your body!

I’ve used this for 2 weeks twice a day at 1/2 teaspoon. Didn’t work at all for morning wood. Its too acidic for me. I even used 9.5 alakine water with it. I have O+ positive blood. PH trips on urine made it on the yellow scale. Will try tomkat ali next when I have the money.

Before I found out about pine pollen from my brother, I had been going through anxiety, depression, and I experienced a bad drop in my libido. It was during this time that I also found out from my doctor that I had very low testosterone (and I’m a young guy). I spent several weeks hopelessly doing research on natural approaches to increase my testosterone, restore my libido, and get though the ups and downs I had been going through. It wasn’t until I tried taking pine pollen that I realized there’s hope! Within my first few days of taking the pine pollen at its standard dosage, I quickly noticed major improvements in my overall well-being in addition to a restored sex drive, resulting in morning wood and stronger erections. I continue to take pine pollen every day to keep myself set on a healthy trajectory. I’m very pleased with the results I’ve been getting from this miracle herb and I honestly believe that it will be of great benefit for others experiencing similar stresses in any stage of their adult lives. Believe me when I say that I’d be doing a huge disservice by not sharing my experience with this review. I’m a customer for life!

Love the pine pollen I take 3 tsps 3 times a day. I never really had any problems with my testosterone I jus wanted to keep my body running on all cylinders!! Great product!!!
Paul Smith (verified owner) –
Tried taking the Pine Pollen as indicated and i have had absolutely no positive results. As a matter of fact my erections have gotten way less. Hopefully i havent made the situation worst by taking this. One of my main concerns prior was maintaining an erection. Right now it is almost none existent. I went to a lab recently to Test my T Levels so hopefully i’ll have more info soon. I am very concern. I am in my early 30’s by the way. Guys please be careful what you are placing in your body. Seek medical advice.

The taste somewhat reminds me of Valerian root. Smells of stinky feet, but in a little pomegranate or cranberry juice it’s down the hatch with a water chase. I was hoping it would have helped with my sleep but I think that’s a deeper problem. Yes my manhood is stronger and I think my boys have gotten bigger too. One thing though is I’ve started getting sweats, full on hot flashes where I’m drenched and then periods where I’m cold. Not sure if it’s the increase of testosterone or what, but this part is unpleasant. I can’t say whether it’s the pine pollen or if I have something else going on. I’ve also been taking the shisandra berry powder which I take in the morning. The pine pollen I take at night along with ashwaganda and murica puriens. Maybe I’m overdoing it. So like I said, can’t say what’s causing the hot flashes, could be one herb or the combination of or something totally unrelated.
Zane Christopher –
Mike I have emailed you so we can help you figure out these hot flashes. Please respond when you can. Thank you.

Just received my order and took my first doses. Pine pollen tincture, PP powder and the Tongkat Ali. Going to go with a M-F on, Sa/Sun off cycle and see how it goes! Tongkat Ali is going to take some getting used to. Products arrived in a very timely manner. I am excited to see the effects.

I tried pine pollen and was skeptical of the benefits. I use it in my morning smoothies and noticed the things down below became more “Rock Solid’ as well as seeing a boost in strength. I really could tell when I went a couple of months of not taking the supplement. I continued to lift weights and noticed I wasn’t making any gains in strength. I ordered a megadose and within two days of consuming the product, I almost doubled my reps in the gym. This is by far the best bang for the buck of supplements that I have ever tried.

Hello
Started taken Pine Pollen for the last two weeks and it works. Arousal comes quickly. Walking around with it half cocked…again
Casey Bingham (verified owner) –
I have been take the bare minimum of 1/2 tsp twice daily as a starting point and I must say I noticed a difference in the first week. I didn’t get a stimulant effect which I love, but a more overall sense of things changing. I add it to my coffee and it’s tasteless!!! A little perk in my step, a clear mind, libido actually increased (which is weird because I’ve been on HRT) I could write for days about my positive experience but won’t. I just know after a month of supplementing on it I’ll continue to use it!
I’ll also continue to buy from LOST EMPIRE because of how fast it came to my house and the packaging is top notch!! Customer for life !!
Thanks everyone at lost empire for being a big part of a healthier me !!
