Ingredients ✧
Wild Pine Pollen
Pine Pollen Sourcing & Process: Our wild-harvested raw Pine Pollen is gathered in the foothills of the Himalayas. This remote area, bordering Tibet, is far away from industry and pollution. The pollen is collected exclusively from Masson Pine (Pinus massoniana) trees at elevations between 1100-1500 meters
After harvesting, a low-temperature, high-speed airflow process is used to break up about 99% of the cellular material to crack-open the cell wall and increase the pollen's bio-availability
Pine pollen bonus for men: see tincture preparation suggestion below for how to make an alcohol extract using our raw pollen to help naturally increase testosterone levels
Pine Pollen vs Pine Needles: Pine tree's give us multiple herbal remedies. Both pollen and the pine needles have a long-tradition of being used to increase the body's immunity, resilience and overall health. Pine pollen is more often associated with endocrine health vs the needles for their anti-viral and anti-fungal benefits
Contra-indications: Pine pollen is a pollen. Avoid if you have a pollen allergy
No added fillers, bulking agents or preservatives

It is very helpful for eczema, acne, impetigo and nappy rash. For babies apply directly as a powder or mix with water. The arginine in Pine Pollen helps improve the texture and appearance of skin. Have fun experimenting with this yellow sunshine powder!
Super charge with Pine Pollen:
In Asia, where pine pollen is considered a food (and not a dietary supplement) it is common to take 5 - 10 grams per day
Chinese medicine suggests taking a large amount because of the array of beneficial nutrients and compounds in Pine Pollen. It is an incredible food source. For men looking specifically to raise their testosterone levels, taking Pine Pollen as a tincture is highly recommended. However, tinctures cannot impart the totality of the dense food source that pollen is, so taking the pollen alongside the tincture is best for men who have started andropause (around 40) and up
The Pine Pollen reviews and testimonials below are very helpful for further suggestions as we are limited in what we can share on how this extraordinary food may help
Tincture Preparation ✧
How to make Pine Pollen Tincture:
It's very simple to make this extract, with no special equipment needed:
- Na'vi pine pollen
- Na'vi nettle root extract
- Organic cachaca from Brazil (you can use whatever alcohol you wish ~ about 40% proof is preferable)
Fill a jar just over half full with pine pollen, then add the alcohol to fill the jar. The mix should be thick but still stirrable. Leave somewhere dark for about a month, stirring/shaking occasionally
After the month, strain through a strong cloth or nut milk bag - it needs to be strong, as you'll want to squeeze hard to get every bit of liquid you can out of the mix
Then add the nettle root extract powder and stir it into the liquid tincture. To give you an idea of ratios, we use about 50g of our Na'vi 10:1 ratio wild nettle root extract powder to every 1kg of pine pollen powder
