Ponderosa Pine Pollen Electuary
Ponderosa Pine Pollen Electuary
Over 95% of pine pollen found online is from China where it is mass processed in facilities that microwave the pollen to crack the cell wall. Although this may increase the absorption of nutrients by 15% it also removes the pollen's natural defense layer and the product immediately begins degrading.
Unlike most of the pine pollen on the market, this pollen is always raw and optimally-stored to deliver the freshest product to our customers. Our Ponderosa Pine Pollen is sustainably hand-harvested at mid-elevations in the wilds of the American River watershed. It is minimally processed to separate high-quality pollen from pollen catkins.
Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) is a species of pine that grows throughout the western part of North America and it is the most widespread species of pine on the continent. In the American River watershed ponderosa generally grows from 2000-6000 foot elevation. It is a towering, majestic tree with puzzle-piece bark, jumbo-sized pollen catkins, and large pine cones.
The forests that this pine reside within rely heavily on the tree to keep the ecosystem strong. Every spring literal tons of plant fertilizer in the form of pollen is released into the air and much of it finds its way to the forest floor where it nutrifies the poor soils and helps other species of tree and shrub grow. Without this pollen, the oak, manzanita and other plant species who provide so much to the base of the food web would be less vigorous and the entire ecosystem would suffer.
Ponderosa pine is an integral member of its habitat that helps balance the nutrients of its ecosystem with the phytoandrogens found in its pollen.

(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!

We are working to eliminate plastic from our packaging. Currently, 99% of our packaging is metal, glass, or paperboard. We are always looking for ways to eliminate microplastics from your body and the planet!
How to Use
How to Use
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with your body.
Specifics on dosages and administration for all products are in our FAQ. Find the FAQ in the menu under the "About" Section.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.
