Pine pollen has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for millennia to invigorate the vital energy of the body, also known as Qi. It is a natural tonic known to increase strength and energy, boost metabolism, libido, immunity and mood, support the skin, hair and joints, relieve inflammation and slow the ageing process. Pine is one of the first plants to “wake up” from winter, and its pollen is wild harvested in the springtime. Our pollen is collected from deep inside natural areas where air pollution is at its lowest, before being dried and meticulously processed. Pine pollen is the only known natural source of DHEA in the plant kingdom and is a marvelous example of the elemental, yet hidden power of plants. In addition to its phytoandrogens, Pine pollen also contains a wide array of therapeutic compounds such as phenylalaline which helps boost dopamine levels, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) which supports inflammation, cell proliferating nucleic acids and the powerfully protective antioxidant superoxide dismutase.
