This spring I was gifted by the trees on our land, to experience my first big Pine Pollen harvest. Since the first year we moved in, we’ve laughed about the literal clouds of yellow pine that “poof” into the air like smoke in the spring, but until I did some research this week, I didn’t realize what an amazing gift our trees were generously sharing.
Many say that Pine Pollen is hands down the most complete and powerful ‘supplement’ they have ever consumed and guess what…you can get it totally for free! It’s a true wonder substance, not only is it a 100% organic and natural whole-food it’s also a very strong medicine.
A lot of people talk about common super-foods like goji berries, raw cacao, and bee pollen but many people fail to mention Pine Pollen as probably the ultimate super-foods. It’s superior for many reasons but its real magic comes from the fact that is available directly from your own back yard where its adaptability, strength, and nutrition content far exceed that of anything grown in a lab or on a farm.
Pine Pollen has over 200 bioactive natural nutrients, minerals, and vitamins source all in one source. What’s more, is that is the active constituents in Pine Pollen are easily absorbed by the human body, whereas most other supplements have very poor absorption rates – Pine Pollen is 90% more absorbable than bee pollen even.
The Many Benefits of Pine Pollen
Amongst a long list of unique benefits, in actuality, Pine Pollen has positive effects on the entire body, it’s a complete functional food acting as a:
- Lung tonic (benefits the immune system and beautifies the skin)
- Kidney tonic (very rejuvenating to the brain, hair, bones, and endocrine system)
- Liver tonic (stimulates liver regeneration and regulates bile secretion)
- Heart tonic (increases cardiovascular endurance, raises blood levels of Superoxide Dismutase, and lowers cholesterol)
- Spleen tonic (Nourishes the muscles and increases metabolism which is both governed by the Spleen organ system in Asian medicine)
PINE POLLEN FOR REAWAKENING YOUR INNER GODDESS PHYSICALLY
Pine Pollen is a powerful anti-oxidant, increasing SOD levels (superoxide dismutase, perhaps the most powerful and crucial antioxidant the body makes) in the blood. It also increases glutathione production, which breaks down and removes xenobiotics (environmental pollutants) and metabolites of oxidative stress (internal toxins made by the body) from the body.
Pine pollen benefits overall skin health and appearance, by providing natural androgens – youth hormones. Also, Pine Pollen has the ability to improve collagen and elastin production, which make up the underlying matrix of the skin. Pine Pollen keeps these proteins from degrading and causing wrinkles.
Last but not least, Pine Pollen reduces lipofuscin deposits – a brown pigment responsible for age spots a.k.a. liver spots – in the heart, brain, and liver.
PINE POLLEN FOR REAWAKENING YOUR INNER GODDESS SEXUALLY
Pine pollen is most renowned for the potent androgenic effect it has on the body. It contains bio-available androstenedione, testosterone, DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), androsterone, and a wide variety of other steroidal-type substances! So it is literally Mother Nature’s hormone therapy, which, unlike synthetic hormones, is perfectly safe.
These anabolic compounds are not only for retaining muscle and physical strength they keep the skin smooth and tight, maintain a healthy libido, optimize tissue regeneration, optimize breast health in women and testicular and prostate health in men, aid in the excretion of excess estrogens and speed up the metabolism to help burn off excess fat.
PINE POLLEN FOR HEALTHY HORMONES
Healthy hormones are a key to keeping the body young, beautiful, and healthy. Pine Pollen is rich in naturally occurring Phyto-androgens that help to counter the effects of estrogen-mimicking substances commonly found in our plastic, modern world. Many of the plastics we found used to make bottles, food containers, body care products, cleaners, medications, and even our clothing can mimic estrogens in our bodies and cause disruptions. Pine Pollen is a natural estrogen detoxifier.
Additionally, plenty of people get also get an unnecessary amount of estrogen from commercial animal products like dairy and meat that contain added hormones. Those who consume industrial animal products aren’t the only ones in danger of estrogen overload, many plant-based food products contain phytoestrogens such as soy, hops, yams, nuts and seeds, and other fruits and vegetables. It’s all about balance when it comes to hormones, and in today’s world, it is overly estrogenic – why is a deeper discussion!
For now, it is easy to see that estrogen can easily dominate a person’s system these days. Pine pollen’s ability to balance estrogen levels for men and women, has never been more necessary today – if people wish to continue to procreate healthy children, then this is one issue that must be resolved! Not to mention, it is at the root of many weight issues, skin diseases, and mood disorders.
And yes, women can definitely get the benefits of Pine Pollen without worrying about growing a masculine figure or beard. In fact, excess body hair growth in women (and hair loss in men) is more likely due to elevated DHT levels (which can be controlled with Saw Palmetto, Licorice and Nettle Root) rather than free testosterone, so no need to fear growing facial hair.
In men, the commonly known beer belly and erectile dysfunction are actually outward signs of high estrogen. The good news is that Pine Pollen has the power to “re-masculinize” an overly estrogenic male.
PINE POLLEN FOR HEALTHY ENERGY
Want some seriously good energy? Look for further than Pine Pollen. Just when you harvest this stuff from the wild and the pollen is flying around the air, into your lungs and skin you feel the effects it has on the body and the huge increase of energy. The stuff is live and unlike any other energy boost you’ve probably received. It’s not like caffeine as a stimulant but more like the energy you get after really good sex.
And because it is a complete source of proper nutrition, the energy lasts without any crash. Pine Pollen is not a stimulating drug, and contains no stimulants, though it is more energizing than caffeine just in a different way.

HOW TO TAKE PINE POLLEN
If you are looking for a nutritional superfood, Pine Pollen Powder is a better whole-food substance that does not have as high of an absorption rate of the androgens.
That being said, if you are looking for hormone balance, androgen therapy and a revitalized Libido, the tincture is of most use to you. This is simply created by picking the pollen-filled cones (see feature image) by hand. Fill a mason jar 30-50%. You will have a glorious mess of yellow pollen all over the jar and yourself by the time you are done. Cover to the top with Vodka and let sit for 2 weeks – 3 months, shaking often. Your vodka will turn a nice dark yellow. Use a dropper to place a few drops under your tongue to absorb directly into your bloodstream.
For dosage, you can experiment but as a general rule of thumb, most herbs are best consumed 3 times daily over a course of time.
