What is Pine Pollen Tincture?
Pine pollen tincture is a liquid extract made from the pollen of pine trees, typically the Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) or the Chinese Red Pine (Pinus massoniana). This natural supplement is known for its rich nutritional profile, containing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids. It is particularly noted for being a source of phytoandrogens, which are plant-based compounds that can mimic the effects of hormones like testosterone.
