Secrets of Longevity

Shell Broken Pine Pollen Powder

Pine pollen powder benefits all living things by being the most potent plant source of testosterone known. This fine yellow powder seems to settle on everything (even vertical surfaces like cottage windows in Georgian Bay!) during the spring. This incredibly potent androgenic substance literally gives a much needed growth and libido boost to almost all plants and animals that come in contact with it after a long winter's hibernation.

The common image of a pine cone (such as the statue from the vatican courtyard to the left) is actually the female aspect of the pine tree. The male cones that produce the pine pollen powder, which is the plants sperm (nuts and seeds are more like mini uteruses), are thinner, more phallic looking and occur at the ends of branches (see next image below). A pollen grain is microscopic in size and looks like a mickey mouse head where each of the "ears" are concave to catch the wind so it can flow to the female cones on other trees or even onto the same tree to successfully pollinate them.

Traditional properties:

-Androgenic (stimulates anabolic endocrine activity)

-Nutritive/Tonic (Western/Asian herbalism terms for herbal adaptogens, meaning it has no toxicity over long term use)

-Aphrodisiac (promotes a healthy and high libido)

-Lung tonic (boosts the immune system and beautifies the skin which are both controlled by the Lung organ system in Asian medicine)

-Kidney tonic (very rejuvenative to the brain, hair, bones and endocrine system which are controlled by the Kidney organ system in Asian medicine)

-Liver tonic (stimulates liver regeneration and regulates bile secretion which are controlled by the Liver organ system in Asian medicine)

-Heart tonic (increases cardiovascular endurance, raises blood levels of Superoxide Dismutase and lowers cholesterol)

-Spleen tonic (Nourishes the muscles and increases metabolism which are both governed by the Spleen organ system in Asian medicine)

Pine pollen powder has been used extensively in traditional cultures throughout Asia. The earliest mention of pine tree pollen's medicinal use is in Chinese herbalism from the classic text "The Pandects of Materia Medica" by Shen Nong. The benefits of pine pollen have also been used by the Koreans where it is sold in boxes much like baking soda or other baking ingredients. It is used in food for it's amazing mineralization and adaptogenic properties.

Scientific properties:

Some of the antioxidant related properties of pine pollen powder include; increasing SOD levels (superoxide dismutase, perhaps the most powerful and crucial antioxidant the body makes) in the blood, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, increasing glutathione transferases which help breakdown and remove xenobiotics (environmental pollutants) and metabolites of oxidative stress (pollutants made by the body) from the body and reduction of lipofuscin deposits (a brown pigment responsible for age spots a.k.a. liver spots) in the heart, brain and liver.

Pine pollen powder's claim to fame is 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 (which unlike synthetic steroids you hear about in the news, are perfectly safe)! These anabolic compounds help maintain and increase muscle mass, 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 powder makes a great food that can be eaten in higher quantities than you can normally take in the tincture form. This way you get more of the proteins, vitamins and minerals but there is still a fairly potent androgenic effect.

Women can definitely get the benefits of pine pollen without waking up the next morning with a beard, a deep baritone voice and 20 inch biceps... (Actually if anyone wakes up with that after taking pine tree pollen, please let me know!) Excess body hair growth is caused by elevated DHT levels (which can be controlled with Saw Palmetto or Nettle Root) rather than free testosterone, so no need to fear growing a moustache. Women in Asia discovered that pine pollen benefits overall skin health and smoothness through many of the same avenues mentioned in the paragraphs above. Androgens are the promoters of youth. Collagen and elastin (which make up the underlying matrix of the skin) are stabilized and kept from degrading which is the cause of wrinkles. Another way to prevent wrinkles is to make sure you drink plenty of living spring water everyday.
