What is RAW Pine Pollen?

Pine Pollen is the male fertilizing component produced by different species of pine tree — at RAW Forest Foods, we harvest it from select Pinus massoniana trees, also known as Chinese red pines. This is single source RAW Pine Pollen hard harvested once a year by a small collection of farmers deep in rural China, far away from industry. We've been there, and it i spectacular.

RAW Pine Pollen stores all the fundamental essence and nutrients necessary to grow a towering 100+ foot pine tree which can thrive for hundreds of years. To achieve this, it houses a vastly broad spectrum and high concentration of rare and unique nutrients that do much the same for humans as for the tree itself, such as promoting healing, rejuvenation and growth.

Where does RAW Pine Pollen come from?

Each spring, we wild harvest our Pine Pollen deep in the foothills of the Himalayas using traditional methods with the help of a forest conservation co-operative. The remote, clean forests we use provide the highest integrity and highest quality Pine Pollen available on the planet.

What makes RAW Pine Pollen so special?

The original forest tonic, Pine Pollen is highly valued for its phyto-androgens (similar to testosterone), adaptogens and deep nutritive qualities. It’s been used in medicine for around 2000 years and has recently blossomed in popularity for the same reasons people have cherished it for generations.

Its positive actions on the endocrine system (and the phyto-androgens it contains), its deeply nutritive properties, and its many other key qualities* are what make it so important and beneficial. In short, people love Pine Pollen because it’s a safe, strong and effective adaptogenic tonic herb.*

What does RAW Pine Pollen do?

In the wild, Pine Pollen fulfils two roles. Firstly, the pine catkins cultivate the pollen in order to germinate and reproduce. Secondly, each spring, the pollen coats the dormant forest floor, where many nutrients and growth factors in the pollen nourish and awaken the forest plants, bringing about the lush green growth that transforms the barren winter into the productive spring and summer.

Within us, Pine Pollen encourages a similar transformation. Over 200 beneficial compounds have been identified in Pine Pollen, providing a complete array of essential and non-essential amino acids (beyond being just a complete protein).

It contains many, many living enzymes and enzymatic cofactors, vitamins, minerals, and other important factors which promote health and healthy aging. These include anti-inflammatory agents, antioxidants, adaptogens, pro-androgenic and phytosterols (plant hormones similar to testosterone) and beneficial growth factors.

RAW Forest Foods and RAW Pine Pollen

RAW Forest Foods was the first company to bring Pine Pollen to the US and we’re the leading authority on tonic and pro-androgenic herbs.

In its unprocessed state, Pine Pollen is largely indigestible by humans. The rigid cell walls simply cannot be broken down, keeping the nutrients locked inside so that they pass freely through the digestive tract without being used. Using a low temperature air-fracturing method, our RAW Pine Pollen is processed to crack the cell walls, rendering it more than 99% digestible, according to laboratory studies.

All the packaging for our products, including our RAW Pine Pollen Capsules, Powder and Tablets, is food-grade and packaging is completed domestically in our certified organic, FDA cGMP facility.

The opaque, dark color of the bottles and pouches protects the Pine Pollen from UV rays and helps to keep the contents dry. The bottles which contain our capsules and tablets are 100% reusable and recyclable and the additional re-sealable packaging within our pouches is there to promote freshness.

So you can stick to a consistent schedule and take advantage of all the incredible benefits of pine pollen, here’s a breakdown of the differences between the capsules, powder and tablets.

Our very first product, RAW Pine Pollen Powder is a little more demanding than RAW Pine Pollen Capsules or Tablets. To use it, stir ½ a teaspoon into 4-6 ounces of fresh, cool water and drink. That’s all there is to it.

How to take RAW Pine Pollen

We recommend you take:

• 4 RAW Pine Pollen Capsules or 4 RAW Pine Pollen Tablets twice daily on an empty stomach;
• 2 grams (approximately ½ teaspoon) of RAW Pine Pollen Powder twice daily on an empty stomach. We like to combine it with 4-6 ounces of fresh, cool water once in the morning and once in the evening.

The above is merely our recommendation of how we prefer to take RAW Pine Pollen at RAW Forest Foods. If it doesn’t fit in with your schedule, you’re free to take RAW Pine Pollen however best suits you. Following a routine that ensures regular, consistent use is preferable. You won’t gain anything from this product by leaving it untouched in the cupboard.

Herb & Pine Pollen cycling

If you prefer to rotate your pro-androgenic and tonic herbs, we suggest a schedule of five days on and two days off. Alternatively, four weeks on and one week off is another option.
