What is the Pine Pollen and Pine Pollen Powder

There are close to 175 species in the genus Pinus and in the family Pinaceae, all of which produce pollen. Most commercial pine pollens are from the Pinus massoniana or Pinus sylvestris species. Pines are generally monoecious, which means they have male and female cones on the same tree.The pine tree pollen produced does not come from the female “pine cones” most people are familiar with, but from the male cone or “catkin”, a softer spiky shoot that buds every year in early spring. This is what creates the pollen used to fertilize the growth of female pine cones. The actual microscopic grains come in a few shapes and sizes, but typically are spherical and have a “mickey mouse-looking” shape when viewed under a microscope. The ears of the mouse being the “wings” of the pollen used to fly long distances through the air.Many parts of the pine tree are edible or have an herbal component. The pine needles, young shoots, resin, inner bark and of course pine nuts have all been used throughout human history. Native American populations considered the pine tree and its abundance of food resources a sacred tree.

As a kind of Chinese traditional medicine, pine pollen, which is the male spore of pine tree, has been used as a drug and food for thousands of years. Pine pollen has an effect in the treatment of different kinds of diseases such as colds, disease of the prostate, anemia, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and rhinitis. Pine pollen is collected artificially from Pinus massoniana Lamb., Pinus tabulaeformis Carr., and it has the characteristics of a single pollen source, pure quality, and is a stable component. Pine pollen powder, called “natural micronutrient storeroom,” is rich in many kinds of body-demanding amino acid, minerals, vitamin, enzyme, and flavonoids. Although it is well proposed that pine pollen may have antiaging effect due to its various benefits on human health, the direct supportive experimental evidence linking the drug with aging has rarely been reported so far.

Why the Pine Pollen Cell Wall Need to be Cracked? 

Pine Pollen granules getting fromg the tree is great nutritious superfood bioabsorbable constituents beneficial to health and immune functions. The surface of pine pollen have a hard cell wall and the gastric acid is not sufficient to get through the cell wall. If not broken, the pine pollen will be largely or fully undigested when consumed and broken cell wall the pine pollen powder is slightly more nutrient dense and digestibility.Cell walls are cracked using a low temperature but high-speed airflow technology to smash the Pine Pollen grains against each other. Investigations show that this should increase the bioavailability of certain nutrients such as the proteins and carbohydrates.
