Cracked Cell Wall RAW Pollen Powders

The Low Temperature, Cracked Cell Wall Transformation

In their raw form, flower and tree pollen—like all bee pollen—carry incredible potential, but that potential is locked away. The outer wall of each pollen grain, called the exine, is made of sporopollenin, a remarkably tough compound that protects the pollen in nature but also makes it nearly impossible for the human body to digest.

To release the nutrition within, the pollen must be intentionally prepared. Our RAW Pine Pollen™ undergoes low-temperature air fracturing, transforming it into a form of functional nutrition that your body can truly absorb and use.* This method honors the principles of Paleo, Primal, and Ancestral diets, providing nutrients in a form aligned with how humans have traditionally nourished themselves.*

Overcoming Nature’s Defense Mechanism

Sporopollenin is one of nature’s most resilient creations, a natural armor that protects pollen as it travels from one bloom to another. In plants, its role is sacred—it keeps the pollen’s contents safe from the elements so life can continue. But this same strength that serves the plant so well also makes it nearly indestructible to us. The protective wall that guards the pollen also keeps our bodies from accessing the rich nutrients held within.

The Digestibility And Strength Of RAW Pine Pollen™

Beneath the exine lies the intine—a softer layer made of cellulose and pectin. These are the parts the body can more easily recognize and digest. Yet the strength of the exine, its protective shell, keeps even these inner nutrients locked away. Only when the outer wall is gently opened can the richness within the intine be fully released and absorbed.*

Specialized Pollen Processing for Optimal Nutrition

To make the full nutrition within our RAW Flower Pollens truly accessible, we use a careful process known as low-temperature air fracturing. This gentle method breaks open the tough outer shell of each pollen grain, allowing the nutrients within to be fully released.*

Every family, genus, species, and variety—from RAW Pine Pollen™ (Pinus massoniana), RAW Brassica Flower Pollen (Brassica oleracea var. italica), RAW Camellia Flower Pollen (Camellia sinensis), and Sacred Lotus Flower Pollen (Nelumbo nucifera)—undergoes this same patient preparation. Laboratory tests show that this process increases digestibility to more than 99%, meaning almost every bit of nourishment becomes available to the body.* By treating the pollens with this level of precision, we preserve their integrity while unlocking their full nutritional potential.*

Bee pollen is one of nature’s most complete foods, yet in its raw form, much of its nourishment remains locked away.* Each pollen grain is protected by an outer shell called the exine layer, a natural barrier that keeps the nutrients inside safe but also difficult for our bodies to access. One study published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture found that when this shell stays intact, most of the pollen passes through digestion unchanged, its nutrients still sealed within.

But when this outer wall is gently broken, the story changes. The same research revealed that pollen with a disrupted cell wall became far more digestible, with protein and fat absorption rising to over 80%.* Even amino acids and natural sugars were released at nearly twice the rate compared to unprocessed pollen.*

This is why cell wall disruption is so important. Through our low-temperature air fracturing process, we carefully crack the exine layer without harming the delicate nutrients inside.* It’s a precise method rooted in respect for both science and nature, ensuring that the full nutritional and phytotherapeutic potential of bee pollen becomes available to the body. The result is a form of pollen that is alive, potent, and ready to nourish.*

Nurturing Prebiotic Benefits

The low-temperature air fracturing process does more than unlock the nutrients in pollen. By gently breaking the exine and revealing the intine, it makes cellulose and pectin more accessible, the fibers that nourish the beneficial bacteria in the gut. These prebiotic fibers become food for the microbiota, supporting a thriving gut ecosystem and strengthening the body’s natural defenses.*

Prebiotics Can Help Support Gut Health By:

• Nourishing beneficial gut bacteria and helping them thrive
• Aiding digestion and easing gastrointestinal challenges
• Strengthening the immune system through a healthy gut environment

Cracked cell wall processing allows your body to absorb the full nutrition of RAW Flower Pollens and RAW Pine Pollen™ while also supporting a healthy, resilient gut. This approach reflects our dedication to creating products that are bioactive, intentionally crafted, and designed to nourish your whole body.* You can learn more about the prebiotics properties of RAW Pine Pollen™ and how it contributes to overall wellness.
