Pine pollen tincture is formulated for both men & women to take daily. It does not focus on hormone support but aims to provide adaptogenic properties, antioxidant content, immune & radiation support. This tincture is made fresh each year; with pollen I collect from my own property (Eastern White Pine). I also include young pine needles as part of the water content in the menstruum, which gives a slight pine flavor to the tincture. Spent pollen is removed from the final extract, but there will be a small amount that I could not sift out in every bottle. This tincture was shaken daily & macerated for 6 weeks before straining. Made on 7/5/25.
Ingredients: locally sourced, dried pine pollen, fresh pine needles (young ones for better flavor!), menstruum is Everclear + spring water in 1:3, approx 55-58% ABV
Pine pollen is known for its numerous health properties. Studies show pine pollen's potential to reduce radiation induced oxidative stress, protect bone marrow & reproductive tissues, and also support DNA repair. It's definitely a 'superfood' in the plant world, and a favorite supplement for overall health maintenance. This tincture is formulated for both men & women to take as a health supplement. The lower ABV captures these benefits and does not focus on hormonal health (testosterone). You need higher ABV to capture those hormonal properties.
There are many claims about processing pine pollen: you have to freeze it first to break down cell structures, it has to be a particular species of pine to get the benefits, it can only be sourced from remote areas or else it's toxic:) My research and experience show that if you are tincturing pine pollen, it does not need to be frozen. The alcohol is sufficient at breaking it down (you can visibly see how different the pollen is after tincturing). Freezing is only suggested if you are going to eat it raw. The whole 'particular species' and 'remote areas' thing just seem like elitism:) Why are plants readily available all over the planet if only 1 area or species is beneficial? Nature doesn't work that way... it's a living energetic system that does not discriminate the way humans do:)
Two other pine pollen tinctures you may be interested in:
If you want hormonal support with the benefits of the adaptogenic properties, try my Pine Pollen with hormonal support. I recommend choosing the option to add full spectrum stinging nettle root, as nettle root enhances the benefits of pine pollen. It's formulated for both men & women, and made with a higher ABV, but dosing is different for each. You can find that tincture here:
If you want a more intense pine pollen with hormonal support, I make a men's formula that is the highest pollen ratio in high ABV. It automatically has the full spectrum nettle root included. I don't really suggest this for women, it's just not necessary IMO. You can find this tincture here:
This is also an ingredient in my fountain of youth tincture:
