The Most Powerful Superfood

What is this superfood I am referring to? It's pine pollen. Pine pollen has been commonly used in Chinese Medicine for the last 3000 years. Pollen is a essentially a seed. However, this seed has the power to grow a 100 feet tall pine tree that can live for hundreds of years. Just think what this powerful superfood could do to our own bodies! This potent superfood is derived from the pollen of pine trees and it contains over 200 bioactive vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in high concentrations compared to other superfoods. It is especially rich in B vitamins, amino acids, and vitamin D. This supplement would be a great addition for those who are vegan or vegetarian as animals products contain many of these vitamins and amino acids in high quantities. It is also rich in nucleic acids which are important for DNA repair and superoxide dismutase, a powerful antioxidant.

Pine pollen is an adaptogen as it restores balance to the body by allowing the body to adapt to whatever conditions it faces. As an adaptogen, pine pollen is a natural hormone balancing agent. It is a natural source of DHEA which is a precursor to testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. Men and women rely on all three of these hormones in various ratios. In addition DHEA can increase longevity. As we age DHEA levels decrease resulting in immune conditions, low libido, depression, cognitive decline, and fat gain. Contrasty, optimal levels of DHEA are associated with fat loss, boosting mood, muscle development, increased sex drive, and enhanced immunity. Pine pollen also promotes rapid growth, rejuvenation, and healing in the body.

Tips for buying and using pine pollen:
