Pine Pollen Benefit

[Sagar Kamar]

Pine pollen is a yellow, powdery substance from pine cones of various pine tree species. It contains chemicals called saccharides (types of sugar), amino acids, and phytosterols. Pine pollen has been studied in vitro (in cells and test tubes in a laboratory), in animals, and in people for various health conditions, including skin diseases and enlarged prostate . However, there is not yet enough evidence to recommend it to treat any disease . Pine pollen has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and it may help slow aging, reduce fatigue, boost testosterone, and treat some conditions . Pine pollen is available as a dietary supplement in the United States, but it is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety and effectiveness .
