About
Pine pollen is a potent herb traditionally used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine to elevate vitality.
Containing a host of essential compounds, minerals, amino acids, vitamins and phyto-sterols (plant hormones) similar to human sex hormones, it is a key herb in optimizing hormones and energy levels in both men and women.
Phyto-sterols
Phyto-sterols are plant hormones which are nearly identical to male androgenic hormones. They are utilized in the body as if they were androgenic hormones, and do not cause a negative feedback loop, unlike bio-identical/synthetic hormone treatment.
Pine pollen has been shown to contain the following androgenic phyto-sterols:
- Androsterone
- Androstenedione
- DHEA
- Testosterone
In a world full of artificial estrogens and other hormone depleting chemicals, restoring hormone balance is essential.
A healthy hormone balance in men and women looks like:
- Optimal body composition
- Muscle mass
- Healthy libido and sexual functioning
- Optimal mood
- High energy levels
- Physical appearance - skin & hair
- Healthy cognition
Pine pollen assists in restoring and optimizing your hormone levels by replenishing androgenic hormones that modern chemicals and estrogens have displaced.
Nutritional profile
Pine pollen is loaded with key elements crucial for optimal human vitality. [8][9][10]
These include:
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- Zinc
- Iron
- Selenium
- Manganese
- Copper
- Vitamins A, B, C & E
- Vitamin D2/D3, and their metabolites
- Choline
- Phytosterols/androgens
- Peptides
- Beneficial liver enzymes
Pine pollen is 30% protein, containing 20 amino acids, including the 9 essential amino acids.
The amino acids most concentrated in pine pollen include:
- Arginine - stimulates nitric oxide production to improve blood flow, erectile dysfunction, mitochondrial function
- Glycine - improves sleep, anxiety, liver protective, collagen production, and may displace glyphosate
- Glutamic Acid - memory & focus, immunity, detoxification, athletic performance
- Proline - collagen building, wound healing, immunity, antioxidant reactions
-
Histidine - regulates mineral function, essential for forming the anti-aging antioxidant SOD (superoxide dismutase)
- Methionine - improves skin, hair & nails, promotes healthy hair growth, increases SAMe, chelates heavy metals
Additional information & Safety:
Research suggests that pine pollen is safe for long term use as a dietary supplement, with a very low prevalence (3.2%) of allergic reactivity. [6]
