Pinus species PollenNaturally Contains T / DHEA / AndrostenedioneTCM Vitality TonicDietary Supplement

Pine Pollen is the male reproductive substance from pine trees (typically Pinus massoniana, Pinus sylvestris, or other species). Used in TCM for centuries for vitality and longevity. Notable feature: contains naturally occurring testosterone, DHEA, androstenedione, and androsterone - small but biologically meaningful quantities of androgenic compounds.

How it works

Pine Pollen has multiple components:

Naturally Occurring Androgens

Contains ~80mcg testosterone per gram of pine pollen. Also DHEA, androstenedione, androsterone. Absolute amount delivered per dose is small but measurable.

Phytoandrogens

Plant-derived androgenic compounds with weak androgen receptor activity.

Brassinosteroids

Plant steroids with putative anabolic effects in animal models.

Nutrient Density

Rich in B-vitamins, vitamin E, K, amino acids, trace minerals.

Cracked Cell Wall

Pine pollen has tough cell walls; cracked-cell-wall processing improves bioavailability of intracellular compounds.
