(Newswire.net — September 2, 2014) — Pine pollen is made from the male spore of the pine tree and has been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes in Chinese and Korean medicine. While there are over one hundred and fifteen different species of pine, only a select few are collected for their benefits. The benefits are transferred to the body because pine pollen enters through the five major meridians including the lungs, kidneys, spleen, heart and liver. There are many reasons more people are turning to this natural herb and use it for its benefits.
Containing over two hundred bioactive vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other super nutrients in every single serving pine pollen has become the leading nutritional powerhouse. It may be one of the most potent and powerful herbs, or foods, available today to support improved health. For centuries pine pollen has been used for hormonal support, strengthening the immune system, regulating weight by supporting the metabolism, and as an anti-inflammatory. Additionally, it is a rare source of photo-androgens which help combat the phyto and xeno-estrogens that today’s environment is full of. It is a complete protein source as it contains seven of the essential amino acids, and eighteen in total, and is about thirty percent protein overall. The other seventy percent is loaded with vitamins and minerals that the body needs to reach its maximum potential and health. However, all these benefits are lost if the pine pollen has not been broken or comes from a polluted area.
When pine pollen has not had its hard shell broken then the nutritional benefits will not be available for the body to absorb making it ineffective. When harvested and processed at low temperatures pine pollen becomes over ninety nine percent digestible. There are generally no negative side effects from pine pollen for most people, just a lot of beneficial ones. However, some people are allergic to pine pollen and will have a response if it is consumed.
