Written by Jimmy Rustling

If we trace the origins of the pine tree produce, Traditional Chinese medicine has the oldest records of using pine pollen for liver and spleen health and is still used as a baking powder in most Korean life-elixirs. The texts suggest the use of pine needles tea brew and the powdered bark as a food source. With time and continued research, we know the many benefits of including pine pollen as a daily supplement for boosting immunity and energy levels and, of course, the anti-aging benefits.

Traditional chinese medicine only listed the uses and benefits but could not explain the compounds and its in depth composition, leaving many to doubt its actual efficiency and implementation. Another problem was available only on a small scale production and in powdered form that did not have a large range of scope to utilise in daily supplements.
