pine pollen anti aging effects (scientific studies link)
What is Pine Pollen?
Pine pollen is produced by a variety of trees, flowering plants, and grasses. It’s actually the male fertilizing component of these plants. Pollen is grainy and powdery in texture.
Pine pollen comes from a variety of species of pine tree, just a few of which include:
- Masson’s pine (Pinus massoniana)
- Chinese red pine (Pinus tabulaeformis)
- Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris)
You can find pine pollen in a variety of dietary and health supplements. It can come in powders, capsules, or tinctures.
Pine pollen has long been used for a variety of health-related purposes, such as:
- supplementing the diet or adding to foods
- slowing aging
- reducing fatigue
- boosting testosterone
- treating a variety of conditions, including colds, constipation, and prostate disease
Some of the proposed health benefits of pine pollen are anecdotal. This means they’re derived from personal testimony rather than research studies.
However, scientists have been actively investigating the potential benefits of pine pollen. Let’s see what the research says so far.
Nutritional Value
Pine pollen has the following nutrients:
- protein
- fatty acids
- carbohydrates
- minerals, such as calcium and magnesium
- vitamins, such as B vitamins and vitamin E
There haven’t been studies in humans about the benefits of pine pollen as a dietary supplement.
However, a small study with pigs found that inclusion of pine pollen in their diet increased stool weight and water content. This suggests pine pollen may be a good fiber supplement.
Anti-aging
A 2012 studyTrusted Source investigated the anti-aging effects of pine pollen in cultured human cells and in mice.
Most cells, with the exception of cancer cells, can’t divide indefinitely. They can only divide a limited amount of times. This is called replicative senescence. The researchers found that pine pollen delayed replicative senescence in cultured human cells.
In mice, the researchers found that pine pollen prevented memory errors in a test of neurological activity. They also observed a rise in activity of antioxidant molecules and a decrease in molecules associated with inflammation.
Antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are compounds that can slow or stop damage to your cells done by molecules called free radicals. Since antioxidants may help prevent aging and conditions like cancer, there’s been research into the antioxidant properties of pine pollen.
One studyTrusted Source found that pine pollen extract had comparable antioxidant activity to a control antioxidant compound. The pine pollen extract also had an anti-inflammatory effect, reducing the levels molecules associated with inflammation in stimulated cells in a culture.
A recent studyTrusted Source in cultured cells and with rats found that a carbohydrate derived from pine pollen had antioxidant activity. Additionally, when challenged with a toxic compound, researchers observed that pretreating rats with the pollen-derived carbohydrate decreased both visible liver damage and the levels of enzymes associated with liver damage.
Testosterone
Testosterone has been found in the pollen of the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). It’s estimated that 10 grams of this pollen contains 0.8 micrograms of testosterone. Because of this, pine pollen is often used to boost testosterone levels. However, there have not been any studies into the effectiveness of pine pollen in increasing testosterone. If you’d like to use pine pollen as a testosterone booster but have questions about potential side effects, talk to a doctor before using it. While you may be familiar with pollen as an allergen, pine pollen has long been used in traditional medicine. It’s believed to have anti-aging properties, treat various health conditions, and boost testosterone.
Research into the health benefits of pine pollen is ongoing. The results so far suggest it has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These qualities could be beneficial in treating a variety of health conditions, although more research is needed.
People with a pollen allergy should avoid using pine pollen.
If you have any questions or concerns about using pine pollen as a supplement, be sure to discuss them with a doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare provider.

There are so many great benefits from Interstellar Pine Pollen…and my favorite is that it makes my skin baby soft and my hair healthy and shiny!
With over 200 bioactive nutrients, vitamins, and minerals in high concentrations, Pine Pollen is easily one of the most important and beneficial herbal medicines on the planet!
?Deep Cellular Rejuvenation, Nutrition, Longevity
?Typically used in cases of weakness, burnout from stress or exhaustion, sexual imbalances (infertility, low libido, erectile dysfunction, etc.), or in any case where there was a need for deep rejuvenation and nourishment
?Hormonal Balance For Men and Women: Nature’s Hormone Booster
?Psycho-Spiritual Effects
?Recent animal studies have shown that DHEA does significantly boost melatonin production in the pineal gland, which regulates circadian rhythms—our sleep-wake cycles—which are often thrown out of balance by synthetic lights from the various screens we tend to be surrounded with these days.
Pine Pollen is also known in Chinese medicine for affecting many of the major organs of the body as a:
?Lung tonic, which boosts the immune system and beautifies the skin—two areas that are both controlled by the lung organ system in Chinese Medicine.
?Kidney tonic, which means that it is highly rejuvenative to the brain, hair, bones and endocrine system, which are controlled by the kidney organ.
?Liver tonic, which stimulates liver regeneration and regulates bile secretion, which are controlled by the liver organ system.
?Heart tonic, which increases cardiovascular endurance, raises blood levels of superoxide dismutase, and lowers cholesterol.
?Spleen tonic, which nourishes the muscles and increases metabolism, which are both governed by the spleen organ system.

My hair was falling out by the handful. I took the hair, nails and skin pills, collagen and some liquid supplement, but nothing worked. I had even stopped washing my hair as often just trying to slow the hair loss. I started taking the peel blend sold and this site, and was LOVING that product. I tried the pine pollen. Not only did it stop the hair loss, but I actually had hair regrowth. My hair line had receded so bad that I had gap between my bangs and hairline. The pine pollen filled the gap. I was thrilled that the hair loss had stopped, but I never expected hair regrowth. I LOVE this product and highly recommend it. Will take it for life.

I have enjoyed every blend I have tried so far, but I wanted to take just a moment to give some love to pine pollen. This is just such an amazing super food, and I would go so far as to say it’s a requirement for anyone suffering from fibromyalgia, arthritis, and any kind of inflammation issues. I’ve only been taking the pine pollen for a couple of weeks, but I haven’t so much as needed a Tylenol in that time, much less the prescription pain killers and NSAID my doctor prescribed me. Pine pollen is highly anti-inflammatory, and that is only ONE of the numerous benefits. Really take a little time and read about all the nutrition and benefits that you can get from pine pollen. It’s also really easy to take. You can certainly mix it into shakes, juices, smoothies, even water. I generally just take a teaspoon full and pop it my mouth and just eat it. It just dissolves and you get an instant feeling of well being and clean energy. I highly recommend it 5+ stars!

I have had exacerbated asthma pretty much my whole life, mostly triggered by extreme anaphlaxis. In the past, I’ve been diagnosed with bronchitis hundreds of times, pneumonia 21 times, and pneumomediastynum once as a complication of the pneumonia. The root of all of this is the allergies I have to dust mites, pollen, animal dander, molds, etc.
It has been the bane of my existance in several ways, especially in college when I did not have medical insurance. Even with insurance it is probably why I have been in debt other than student loans in the first place. Well, besides my car.
Usually, I have continuous inflammation reaction to ever present allergenic triggers in the air I breathe. Corticosteroids; air purifiers and ionizers with filters; special vacuum cleaners; talalay latex mattress; leather and anti dust mite covered furniture and vigilant cleaning have reduced but not eliminated this for me even in my indoor living space and I am past the age where people say I could outgrow allergies and/or asthma. I have had constant allergic Rhinitis as well, even having nasal surgeries to help me breathe through my nose with very limited success until this year.
I am really grateful to you for insisting I try the Pine Pollen. I really believe my asthma, something I have probably been angry about since age four, greatly improved this year as I was trying out the pine pollen you sent. There is nothing else new I have tried and stuck with long enough which could account for this change over this length of time.
I was very hesitant at first, since my allergy tests show a strong allergy to pollen, but after several months of use, my pulmonologist was far more easily convinced this year to take me off of most of my corticosteroids after seeing great marked improvements in my breathing. I am able to breathe more deeply more often, even through both nostrils. I am able to jog now and get the cardio I have needed, even in the colder weather of Upstate New York.
Thank you.

It’s my first time using Interstellar Pine Pollen I had amazing results. My skin is much softer and my hair thicker. Supply lasted for two months. I had occasionally asthma attack but while using Pine Pollen I didn’t had any attack. Definitely going to continue using it.

I have to say pine pollen is amazing! I’m 32 years old and to have the amount of gray hair I did have was embarrassing Last week I kept looking in the mirror thinking “wow my grays are like going away or something,” but curious why all of a sudden this change? What am I doing differently? I finally realized the other day I started the pine pollen a couple weeks ago. I wish I would have taken a picture of before to now because it’s such a difference. I have been taking it daily at the recommended dose in a cold beverage The taste is not bad at all and I am happy to have made the purchase!!!

If you are looking for something that has everything you’re looking for in your diet I would recommend pine pollen. It not only has fiber but it has all the nutrients, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and all the saccharides combined. This works great for something to start off your morning.
I take pine pollen with any type of juice and usually only do about 2 ounces so I get more of the pine pollen. It definitely has a taste and texture to it but not as bad as I thought it would be.
I noticed that my hair is more shinier and my nails are looking more natural and healthier than ever. I use to do my nails everyday and they were so thin and unhealthy and ever since I started taking pine pollen they look gorgeous!
I can tell that I’m more focused now that I’m taking pine pollen with shilajit and supernova. They work great together! I have more energy now that I take it with all my other powders in the morning. It helps me stay awake and focused for hours! I’m only taking half a tsp but it still helps !

Before purchasing my super ultimate sampler pack (it’s honestly not a hyperbole), I had no clue what pine pollen was. I did some research on it and found that it was a legit eastern remedy, much like most of the ingredients in the blends, so I went ahead and gave it a shot, not really knowing what to expect.
Fast forward to about 3 months later, it’s a crucial part of my nightly routine. I take most of my blends in the morning, and I end the day with 1 tsp pine pollen and some omega 3 for brain recovery. I feel a very noticeable difference on the days when I don’t take the pine pollen before bed, as I’m more hazy when I wake up. I think taking the two before bed is a great combo for brain and muscle recovery.
Also, the pine pollen has lasted me months, since it comes in a huge brick (wonder how that got thru the mail cleanly). Definitely ordering me another batch soon.

I was looking for something that’ll help me manage stress but i didn’t want to dish out over 200$ on something like trinity for my first order, so I figured pine pollen would be the best first choice considering it is only 65$ and WOW was it worth it. It says to take 1-3 3g table spoons per day, for me ill ususally dump a tablespoon in black coffee right after waking up and then put one in a cold drink before bed.
The best things I have noticed so far is my skin and hair. I used to have acne when i was younger, now im in my early 20s and still get the occasional pimple, but its 2 weeks im using pine pollen and I dont even get the occasional pimple anymore. I haver fine dark hair which is very hard to work with considering it is super straight, but in some way this makes it hold up easier even right after washing, its incredible and my hair feels so much softer.
Finally, the adaptogen properties of this blew me away. Considering adaptogens regulate cortisol and help your body deal with the negative effects of stress, i knew had to get this. I didnt understand how this works at first, but essentially its like i realize im becoming stressed and i am completely consciously aware of it, however I dont FEEL it physically, its hard to describe, its something you need to experience. It really makes the stress go through you and move on instead of staying in you.

Great quality Pine Pollen! Love this supplement for its testosterone boosting effects. Very important for older men.
It’s a foundational supplement that everyone should be taking.

Hi Gavin, first of all, THANK YOU for turning your pain of what the medical industry did to your mom, into passion to help SO many people. My brother introduced me and my family to your blends several years ago. He would always share the pine pollen.
I would initially take 1/4 teaspoon 3 times a week, but realized this was an amazing product and 6 months ago began taking 1 teaspoon a day. I have always had thick hair and strong nails and clear skin from drinking aloe vera for 20 years, but your pine pollen has brought it to another level.
My hair is shines and is simply soft and more manageable. My nails are definitely stronger and grow twice as fast. I ran out of the pine pollen 2 months ago and definitely feel the difference. I notice I lose strands of hair more without it. So I ordered some pine pollen and started taking it two weeks ago. I take one to two teaspoons a day. I chew it and chug it down with aloe vera or water. I notice less hair fall out and my nails need to be trimmed 🤩. Thank you for the supernova gift. I am definitely more patient. Today I will be placing an order. My mom is on board and is going to order 5 blends today also. She sees me and my brother and knows that one cannot put a price on health. God bless you sir and thank you!

Pine pollen is officially a staple in my supplement stack, probably for the rest of my life. For starters, I purchased pine pollen because my thinning/greying hair. I can tell you all right now that the greying has halted, even kind of reversed and its thicker and shinier than EVER. This alone is what keeps me coming back.
But then, there’s the affects in the gym. I am at the strongest I’ve ever been in all of my major lifts. I have been working out with consistency since I was 22. Now at 30, I could outlift my younger self in every single way, and I have not introduced any other supplement/steroid into my stack. I am truly amazed at how strong Ive gotten, how much morr asthetic my body is, and my endurance while working out. This is almost like a cheat code and a definite game changer.
You can just tell that you are a different, leveled up person of yourself when you take pine pollen, anr its super easy to use. Personally, I mix a table spoon into a short glass of cold water and chug it back. Simple as that. You can even throw it in a smoothie if you wanted to, but the taste is not bad at all. I will be purchasing pine pollen for the rest of my life. Super affordable, easy to take and the results are crazy!! MUST BUY.

ABSOLUTELY love this product!!! This was my first time using this product and I can’t live without anymore. For as long as I can remember I have had the wildest periods and my hormones have always been out of control. After two weeks of taking this product my hormones are normal and regulated and I feel completely normal. Also my hair and skin has seen huge improvements, with my skin much clearer and hair thicker than normal. Highly recommend Pine Pollen, amazing product!!

I have been using interstellar blend for a few years. Super grateful to have found them!
I have tried pine pollen recently and the result on my thinning hair could be seen in 2 or 3 days. I have previously tried hair tonic but the effect is not as significant, maybe because I wasn’t using real grapefruit then.
I have also tried spaceborn and rewire. Aside from the occasional lucid dream, the most obvious effect it’s the Increased clarity of the mind. It enables me to digest information faster and make better decisions during work. Keeps the grogginess away!
