- Pine pollen raises energy levels and clears fatigue. It contains a balanced set of nutrients needed to remove tiredness quickly and reliably. It is useful for older and middle-aged people, and for anyone doing heavy physical work. Studies carried out by the doping control centre of the Chinese Olympic Committee found that pine pollen contains no banned components — which makes it an ideal stimulant for athletes.
- Pine pollen slows ageing. It contains a large amount of antioxidants such as vitamin C and carotene, and trace elements such as selenium, each of which can limit the excessive oxidation of lipids and proteins and so slow the ageing process. With prolonged use you can clear senile plaques (extracellular deposits of amyloid in the grey matter of the brain, which cause nerve cell degeneration and impair brain function), restore your vitality, slow ageing and extend your life.
- Pine pollen prevents skin ageing, increases elasticity, heals and moisturises. This is why it is called "edible cosmetics". Pine pollen is rich in amino acids that skin cells can absorb, and contains natural vitamins, minerals and many types of enzyme. The combination of vitamins C, E and the B complex it contains can activate cells and maintain a high level of superoxide dismutase activity (SOD — an antioxidant enzyme produced in the human body that neutralises free radicals and prevents damage to cells and tissues). Pine pollen is therefore able to eliminate free radicals, inhibit the formation of pigment and age spots, brighten the skin and give it a healthy look. It reduces and removes freckles, and makes hair glossy and full. Using pine pollen in cosmetic masks with egg yolk, vegetable oil and honey brings great benefits to the skin.
- Pine pollen contains around a hundred enzymes that stimulate bowel function, improve appetite and support digestion. It has a regulating effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Because of its rich nutritional profile, pine pollen can treat constipation — it quickly relieves constipation caused by dyspepsia (a term covering various problems with breaking down food in the gastrointestinal tract) and by upper digestive tract disorders, because it removes the disturbance in gastrointestinal function.
- Pine pollen supports normal liver cell function, normalises bile secretion and helps the liver deal with toxins. Many experiments confirm that pine pollen is able to protect liver cells. Taking it after drinking alcohol also helps the liver recover.
- Pine pollen supports the heart and blood vessels, improves metabolism and regulates the endocrine system. The magnesium it contains not only activates the enzyme system but also acts as a carrier for certain nutrients. The flavonoids in pine pollen can significantly lower blood lipids and cholesterol. Its vitamins increase the elasticity of blood vessel walls and improve microcirculation in the heart and brain.
- Pine pollen is suitable in the treatment of prostate conditions. It contains proteins, vitamins, trace elements and flavonoids. These substances improve the body as a whole by regulating many of its functions, provide balanced nutrition and strengthen metabolism, passing freely through the cell wall thanks to the small size of the pine pollen molecule. The pollen also stimulates the action of the endocrine glands, which is why it plays an important role in healing conditions caused by endocrine dysfunction. The substances it contains can improve blood flow in prostate tissue and reduce the swelling and urethral obstruction caused by prostatic hyperplasia (an abnormal increase in the number of cells). The flavonoids in pine pollen have strong antioxidant capacity, which also helps improve the condition of the prostate.
- Pine pollen is not only a valuable food but also an excellent remedy in diabetes. The vitamins, trace elements and macroelements it contains protect the cells of the pancreas, stimulate insulin production and regulate blood sugar levels. Recent research suggests that taking pine pollen is a safe and effective dietary therapy for patients with diabetes.
- Pine pollen has an unexpected healing effect in various conditions — colds, anaemia, hypertension, asthma, rhinitis and others — because it is a natural source of nutrients and raises immunity. Used externally, it can serve as a haemostatic and healing agent for wounds and grazes, and for atopic dermatitis in children. It is not only a remarkable remedy for all kinds of wounds and ulcers, but also an excellent way to care for delicate baby skin.
