Pine Pollen Powder – 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.

Pine Pollen Powder Benefits

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 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 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.

The Pine Pollen is collected from the mountainous regions of China in Yunnan province, from pristine and unpolluted locations. The pollen is wild harvested then processed at very low temperatures to crack the cell wall of the pollen, producing a superior product that is over 99% digestible.

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 though.

Our pine pollen extract has been tested and found to contain no PDE-5 Inhibitors or Analogues. This commonly used group of added ingredients to cut with inferior quality sex herbs. These are the active ingredient in the little blue pill and various related drugs.

We are proud to have Pine Pollen that is high-quality that needs no special (and highly illegal) help to make it appear better then it is. For more info, look at the test results in the lab results tab at the top of the page.

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

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!

FAQ

Details about Pine Pollen:

What is pine pollen?

Pine pollen is literally the pollen of pine trees.

Is this the same as bee pollen?

No. In fact, bees have nothing to do with it.

What is better, the powder or the tincture?

While the powder is seen more as a food, while still having the hormonal benefits, pine pollen tincture has more of a direct androgenic effect. This is great for men seeking to help restore proper youthful levels. Lots more detail available at the article here.

Quality:

What species does it come from?

Pinus massonia, also known as the Chinese Oil Pine or Chinese Pine.

Is your pine pollen organic?

No, it is not certified organic as that is an expensive and difficult process. But truthfully this isn’t all that important because our pine pollen comes from pristine areas where it is wildcrafted. No one bothers spraying chemicals onto pine trees.

Is your pine pollen raw?

No, ours is steam treated in order to handle the microbes. If this is not done, pine pollen comes in with a very high aerobic platelet count.

Is your pine pollen irradiated?

No! But most pine pollen is. If another company doesn’t talk about this, then chances are it is irradiated. Instead of doing so, and damaging the DNA present, we steam treat our pine pollen.

How long is this good for?

Herbs do not “go bad” generally as long as they are stored properly. If you store your herbs in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, in an airtight container they may last up to 2 years. Herbs may lose potency over time but if kept properly will retain most of their benefits.

Where does your pine pollen come from?

China, as with every other commercial supplier of pine pollen. This is the only place that harvests pine pollen at scale, at least so far. We heard about an operation starting out of Canada, but so far that cost is over 20 times as much.

Is you pine pollen independently tested for heavy metals?

Yes. It gets a B grade, which is quite good. You can see a copy of our lab analysis here.

What is better, a 10:1 pine pollen extract or your powder?

In our opinion the extracts of pine pollen are not very good. If you want more potency go with a tincture, otherwise, stick to the regular powder.

How to take pine pollen powder:

How should I take pine pollen?

There are several different methods.

Some people just put the powder into their mouth and then swallow it.
Mix into water
Mix into any liquid or a smoothie
Sprinkle it on top of a salad or other foods

When should I take pine pollen?

Anytime. Some people like to take it along with natural testosterone production like in the morning and after workouts. It is also great to take before workouts and at night time before bed. For best results take pine pollen 2-3 different times per day instead of all at once.

Should pine pollen be taken with a meal or on an empty stomach?

Both work. Pine pollen is a whole food itself so it can mix with other foods, or it can be taken solo.

Can I take pine pollen with tea or coffee?

Yes, you can.

Should I cycle the pine pollen powder?

While we recommend cycling the tincture we do not feel that it is necessary to cycle the powder as it is more food-like.

Effects:

What does pine pollen do?

It is a great source of many different micronutrients including vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and more. The main thing it is taken for is the phyto-androgens, both human and plant hormones, that work to assist the endocrine system.

Do the hormones aromatize into estrogens?

This is a possibility. Additional herbs like nettle root or foods like cruciferous vegetables can help to limit aromatization. Also work to limit excessive body fat, as adipose tissue creates more of the aromatase enzyme.

Does pine pollen actually contain testosterone?

According to the research yes, but this may only be some pinus species. We’re looking for a lab that will test for this so we can verify its accuracy. (You would think it would be easy to find, but it has not been)

Is pine pollen good for bodybuilding and other athletic endeavors?

Considering that optimal hormone levels are necessary to gain muscle and lose fat, pine pollen can certainly help. If you’re looking for more of a boost, the tincture may be the best bet.

Is pine pollen safe to take for women and children?

Yes. Pine pollen powder is really more of a food than a medicine or drug. It is safe for anyone to consume in powdered form (except for those who have pine pollen allergies). We would only recommend the tinctures to men over 30 years of age though.

Side Effects:

Could I be allergic to pine pollen?

Unfortunately, a small percentage of people have a pine pollen allergy. This is not a dangerous allergy, like peanuts for some, but can cause discomfort. When you get pine pollen it is best to take a small dose, like 1/4 teaspoon, and wait a few hours. If you have any common symptoms of allergic reactions it may not be the best herbal supplement for you. Some people have reported that while they have a pine pollen allergy to the powder, in a tincture form they do fine.

Questions about Megadosing:

Is ten grams too much?

The megadose involves taking up to 10 grams per day. This number comes out of Stephen Harrod Buhner’s book stating that people take this much in China regularly.

How long will the package last when megadosing?

Our 250 gram package will last 25 days at 10 grams a day.

The “morning wood” thing isn’t working for me, what should I do?

Please try at least a few days in a row. You could even try a higher dose. Due the complex nature of the human body we can’t guarantee it will work for everyone. You may need something different than what is available in pine pollen. For some people it doesn’t help with this effect but does bring many other positive benefits. Of course, if you’d like to send back the unused portion of the pine pollen and let us know we’re happy to refund your money.

Combinations with Other Herbs:

Can I combine pine pollen with tongkat ali?

Yes. If you want even more powerful hormonal action this is a great way to go. Beware that taking both tongkat ali and pine pollen tincture at the same time can be too powerful for some people.

Can I combine pine pollen with nettle root?

Yes, this is a great combination. Pine pollen is more yang in nature, while nettle root is more yin. This combination may give an even more well-rounded hormonal support. That is why both are contained in our Men’s Hormone Packages.

Are there any herbs I shouldn’t combine it with?

Not that we are aware of.

Pine Pollen Capsules:

What is in the Pine Pollen Capsules?

Non-irradiated, wild harvested Pinus massoniana pollen, Organic Brown Rice Powder, Silica (Diatomaceous Earth).

What are the capsules made of?

They are made from pullulan, which is manufactured by natural fermentation of plant starches. This makes it 100% natural unlike other brands capsules.

Are the Pine Pollen Capsules Vegan?

Yes.

Are the Pine Pollen Capsule Gluten-Free?
