(4) Safety: Pine Pollen is a purely natural health food without animal or insect hormone.
(5) Effectiveness: Most pine pollen users can find out the positive effects to different extents.
· Where is the origin of raw Pine Pollen?
The principal raw materials of Pine Pollen come from China.Pine Pollen is processed from pollens of Chinese Pinus Massoniana Lamb. Chinese Pinus Massoniana Lamb is a unique indigenous species of pine tree in China, which enjoys an exceptional advantage in terms of resource availability . The areas in which it mostly grows range from Huai River and Tsinling Mountains in the north, to southern parts of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces in the south, southeast coastline and Taiwan in the east, and central parts of Guizhou and Sichuan provinces in the west, covering 17 provinces (autonomous regions) . It can be found in more than a half part of China, with the total resource in the area south to Huai River and Tsinling Mountains alone exceeding 20,000,000 hectares.
Chinese Pinus Massoniana Lamb looms in the spring every year. Each male cone produces about 157 , 600 pollen particles. Each sprout produces 0.61g pollen on average,each square meter of tree crown 90.68g , and each hectare of plantation 755.7kg. Therefore, it is estimated that the annual yield of pollen from it alone could exceed 1 , 500,000 tons in China.
The raw materials of Pine Pollen are mainly collected from Qiandao Lake, or Thousand-island Lake, in Zhejiang province of China and hill areas at altitude below 1500m, where few people reside and are far from various sources of pollution, such as cities, highways and pesticides. Qiandao Lake, with an area of 580 square kilometers and 94.7% forest coverage , top level air quality and naturally pure water , ranks as the first class national water resource reserve. The pine pollen produced in this naturally clean environment is thus free of pollution.
· Has Pine Pollen been tested safe to eat?
The record of pine pollen's innocuity in *Compendium of Materia Medica through ages is the fruit of Chinese people's practices for thousands of years. In modern times, the pilot study has been carried out on the pine pollen's effect on the growing rats' zinic metabolism and lipid metabolism by the nutrition experts in the Nutritional Physiological Institute of Munich Technology University, Germany with an attempt to make assessments of the physiological effects of pine pollen's nutrition. The result shows pine pollen's great safety that all physiological indexes of the first-weaned rats remain unchanged after they take 5﹪of pine pollen feed with a balance between the contents of feed, zinic, protein and other nutrients. The record of pine pollen's innocuity in Compendium of Materia Medica through ages has been confirmed by the experiments of pine pollen's acute toxicity, inductive mutation and sub-acute toxicity from modern medical perspective.

· Who are the target users of Pine Pollen?
Pine Pollen is a health food as well as a common nutriment. It is suitable for sub-healthy people as well as healthy people to protect their health or prevent diseases. Besides, it is suitable for people with an unbalanced diet.There are three kinds of health condition: health, sub-health, illness.
It is reported that about 70% of Chinese people suffer from sub-health due to the fast pace of life and great pressure from work. Sub-health will be shown in two ways: one is that the physical examination indexes are normal but people themselves do not feel well; the other is that the physical examination indexes are abnormal while people themselves feel quite well. Sub-healthy people should first adjust their life styles and try to do the followings: having a balanced diet, taking an appropriate amount of exercise, giving up smoking and drinking, and keeping a mental balance.
Besides, it is not suitable for sub-healthy people to take medicine, but if they do nothing, diseases can follow up gradually. Therefore, it is advisable for them to choose a suitable health food to regulate the physical functions in addition to adjusting their life styles, and a good effect will be achieved from health food instead of taking medicine. Pine Pollen, with its special healthcare function, can postpone aging and improve the quality of life by improving health conditions of the sub-healthy people and preserving the health of healthy people.
· What is the best approach to taking trace element?
Trace element is classified by nutritionist as the nutrients whose amount is less than 10 milligram, among all the nutrients absorbed daily by the body. It accounts for a small percentage in the body but is indispensable. Either over or under taken, it could cause physiological abnormality or diseases.
Taking trace element from food is encouraged by experts. Although, in the short term, it can be effective to take trace element preparation (or medicine) at trace element deficiency, trace element can only be digested and absorbed in the body through chelation reaction, which joins the inorganic mineral elements and the amino acid in the body into chelating compounds. Besides, there is some constrains on taking trace element preparations such as zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, sodium sulfate, sodium sulfite because these chemical preparations possess stimulant properties and low absorption rate. However the organic mineral trace element compounds (such as ferrous gluconate, zinc glutamate, cupric citrate) and trace element bioforms (such as zinic yeast, selenium yeast, zinc mushroom powder and pollen) are much easier to be absorbed and work more effectively with a low side effect.
The trace elements in pine pollen, existing in plant cells, are regarded best for their bioactivity, poisonlessness, long term edibility without side effect, which confirms the saying that it is better to take trace element through food than through medicine.
· What nutritious ingredients are contained in Pine Pollen?
According to the research, the nutritious components are categorized into five groups:
(1) 20 kinds of amino acid, 8 of which are essential to the body.
(2) 14 kinds of vitamins.
(3) 30 kinds of mineral elements.
(4) about a hundred kinds of enzymes and active substances.
(5) nucleic acids, fibrins, unsaturated fatty acids, flavonoids, choline, etc.
· Can Pine Pollen boost its nutrition after sporoderm-broken process?
Pollen grains are wrapped in the solid shell, which protects the nutrients and hereditary substance in it as an "armor". The pollen wall has a great capacity of not only with standing being soaked in caustic soda and boiled in water but also resisting radioactivity. Experiments made by Japanese scholars by increasing the radioactive dose shows that the lethal dose of radiation on human beings is 0.15 coulomb/kilogram whereas a dose of 77.4-129 coulomb/kilogram on pollen cells demonstrates the marvelous solidity and anti-radioactivity properties of the pollen shell. It is originated in Japan that the digestive juice of human beings and monogastric animal can not break down the sporoderm of the pollen, thus the sporodem has to be removed before all the nutrients in pollen can be absrobed. However, European and American countries that have popularized pollen products hold that the pollen with a sporoderm or without a sporoderm can both be absorbed by the body. For many years, no agreement has been reached on this issue whether it is necessary or not to break the pollen sporoderm. This argument has captured the great attention of nutritionists. Many studies have been carried out on the sporoderm-breaking of pollen by experts at home and abroad as a scientific research subject.
The study on the microforms and nutrients has been made by the Trace Element Research Laboratory of the General Hospital of the PLA with an analytic comparison on the nutrients of natural pollen and sporoderm-broken pollen and a discussion has been provided on the effect of the sporoderm breaking on the pollen structure and nutrients after an observation on the changes of the microforms before and after the sporoderm is broken with the scanning electron microscope.
Pine pollen is a kind of faint yellow powder with a light texture easy to flow and a soft feel of lubricity. The fluid property of pine pollen can be perceived when a bottle with it is being shaken but the fluid properties are lost when its sporoderm is broken with the high speed airflow pulverization method causing the change on its physical properties, unable to flow due to the tremendous adhesiveness of the sporoderm-broken pine pollen.
The vesicae shed and separate themselves from the pollen grains under the mechanical force while they are crashing with one another under the force of the high speed airflow during the sporoderm-broken process. The main bodies of the sporoderm-broken pollen grains are relatively enriched due to the fact that the vesicae are easy to be carried by the high speed airflow for its special physical structure and get lost with the force of the airflow. The analysis on the related components of natural and sporoderm-broken pine pollen reveals a dramatic decrease in the content of hemicellulose from 12.8
· Is there any hormone in Pine Pollen?
Pine Pollen is health food without any animal hormone, insect hormone, dope and toxic side-effects.
Plant hormones are natural organic compounds that can regulate plant growth and belong to the steroid or simple organic acid family. Despite the use of "hormone", they differ greatly from animal hormone in terms of the origin, biological synthesis, transmission process and effects in that it is just a growth factor for plants without any negative effect on the body.
· How does flavones contained in Pine Pollen work to body?
In phytochromes,bioflavonoids have a great amount in fruits and vegetables with colors.Pollen is the very part of the plant where pigments accumulate.Carotinoids and flavonoids are the most common plant pigments.Every 100g of pine pollen contains 29.26mg total flavonoids(rutin).
Flavonoid has a lot of functions such as lowering blood pressure, reducing lipidemia, preventing thrombosis, strengthening immunity, improving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blood circulation, etc. Flavonoid, similar to vitamin C, is metabolized quickly, and evacuated by urine when it is in surplus.
As far as scientists are concerned, flavonoid is a newly discovered natural nutrient necessary for the body. The lack of flavonoid in the body will lead to cerebral dysfunction, inadequate cardiac function, blood vessel cirrhosis and brittleness. With small molecules it is easily absorbed by the body and enter fat tissues through blood barriers; hence, it has a general effect for many health conditions, such as anti-inflammation, anti-allergy and anti-tumor, restraining bacteria and virus, and preventing liver diseases and thrombosis.
Flavonoid should be taken consistently. With a fast metabolism it dose not accumulate in the body. Meanwhile, It has to be obtained from food, it can not be synthesized in the body.
· What do vitamins in Pine Pollen effect your body?
The term of vitamin, meaning the element to preserve life, was first put forward by FUNK in 1912. Through constant researching, over 20 kinds of vitamins have been found out to be essential to the body. Vitamin can be divided into water-soluble vitamin (vitamin B family and vitamin C) and fat-soluble vitamin (vitamin A, β-carotene, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K). Vitamin is an organic compound essential for maintaining the natural physiological functions of the body. They can not be synthesized in the body (or little is synthesized) and must be taken from the food. Each kind of vitamin has its own physiological function and can not be substituted. The body needs quite a small amount of them but they are absolutely indispensable.
The vitamins in the pine pollen exist in a biologically natural form in the cells, with full bioactivity and good absorptivity. They work together in the body. For example, vitamin A, C and E protect one another from being oxidized, and best effect will be obtained when they supplement each other; Vitamin B, B2 and B6 must be supplemented in the proportion of 1:1:1; Vitamin E and selenium supplement each other; Vitamin C can help the absorption of iron; Vitamin D helps the absorption of calcium. The absorption of the nutrients is a complicated process and more absorption does not mean better effect.
Contents and functions of vitamins in Pine Pollen
· What do the minerals in Pine Pollen effect your body?
Minerals are the inorganic components in the body. It can be divided into constant-element and trace element according to the content of them in the body. Constant-elements in the pine pollen are: potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, phosphor, silicon, etc. Trace elements are: iron, zinc, selenium, manganese, molybdenum, etc. Each mineral in the body has its own physiological function. They can keep the acid-base balance in the body fluid. They are components and activators of many enzymes.
The minerals in the pine pollen exist in the natural plants in the form of naturally biological form, with the characteristics of good absorptivity and no toxic side effect. Meanwhile, some mineral elements in pine pollen work with vitamins to keep the balance of the micronutrients in the body.
· What effects does the amino acid in Pine Pollen have on body?
Amino acid, whose physiological function is to synthesize protein, is the fundamental unit of protein, which is the physical basis for life. It can maintain the nitrogen equilibrium and is the raw material for different enzymes, antibodies and some hormones and can also regulate their physiological functions. It provides heat energy for the body, promotes growth, replenishes the metabolic consumption, and maintains the normal osmotic pressure of capillary. Amino acids can be divided into essential amino acid and non-essential amino acid according to their nutrient value.
Under proper condition, the body can synthesize some kinds of amino acid and eight kinds of them have to be provided by foodstuffs. The eight kinds of amino acid are essential to the body, so they are called essential amino acids which fulfill an important physiological functions on the body. These eight kinds of essential amino acid are: isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, tryptophan, threonine, phenylalanine and valine. Children also need histidine.
The body needs a certain amount of each essential amino acid and they can only be fully utilized with a corresponding proportional pattern. WHO has laid down the standard for that and the food whose proportion of the essential amino acids meets the standard is considered highly nutritious. Pine pollen is basically up to the standard. · What effects do the dietary fiber in Pine Pollen have on body?
Cellulose is a polysaccharide made with repeated glucose units bonded together and the major component of the plant's cell wall. The cellulose in the pine pollen is the major component of inner and outer wall of pine pollen's microspore. It is always attached to the lignin, semicellulose, pectin, etc., with the content up to 29%. The content of lignin is especially high, which is of great significance to the digestive function of the body.
In the past twenty years, after an in-depth research, medical experts and nutritionists have confirmed the nutrient value of dietary fiber and list it the seventh nutritious elements in the world. In recent years, FAO, U.S., Canada, Japan, China and other countries all have mentioned in authoritative works that dietary fiber is one of the essential nutrients for the balance of the diet structure. The effects of dietary fiber in pine pollen are:
(1) Preventing colonic cancer. Colonic cancer is caused by the long stay of certain excitants or poisons in the colon. If the content of the cellulose in the food is too low, the long-stay of harmful substances in intestines will poison the intestine wall. Gradually, it will induce colon cancer. In the case of a higher content of dietary fiber, the cellulose that enters the large intestine will be selectively decomposed and fermented by the inner cells and this accelerates the mass reproduction of beneficial bacteria (diplococcus and lactobacillus), meanwhile, it stimulates the intestine mucosa, quickens the excretion of feces and normalizes the intestine function.
(2) Preventing coronary heart disease. The dietary fiber is effective in preventing and improving heart disease caused by coronary arteriosclerosis. That's because, the cellulose can restrain or postpone the absorption of cholesterol and glyceride in lymph by certain action. With normal diet, prevention and cure of coronary arteriosclerosis and heart disease can be achieved by the proper increase of the dietary fiber intake and decrease of the fat intake, which will reduce the level of cholesterol in the body.
(3) Regulating the blood sugar level of diabetics. Inadequate intake of the dietary fiber is one of the major causes for the high incidence of diabetes. The blood sugar level can be regulated by increasing the content of dietary fiber in the food, which will improve the sensitivity of ending tissues to the insulin.
(4) Bringing about the early feeling of repletion of the stomach, reduce foodstuff intake and prevent adiposity. It has a good effect on weight-losing for the obese.
(5) Reducing the intake of bile acid, change the speed of assimilation of food and the secretion amount of the digestive juice. It can prevent cholecystolithiasis, duodenitis, hemorrhoids, ulcerative colitis, large intestine cancer and other diseases.
Pine pollen with a high content of cellulose, is ideal health food for supplementing dietary fiber.
· What effects do the enzymes in Pine Pollen have on body?
Enzymes, formerly called "ferments", are complicated proteins with catalytic functions. Its catalytic capacity is regarded as the viability of enzymes. They are characterized by their high specificity. Nearly all the chemical changes of the organism take place under the catalysis of the enzymes. Enzymes have high catalytic efficiency, for one enzyme molecule catalyzes hundreds to millions of substrate molecules in one minute. Enzymes are usually named after their substrate or the characteristics of their functions. For example, amylase acts on the amylum, chymosin promotes the coagulation of milk, and glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of glucose. Enzymes are also of great significance to the cure and diagnose of diseases, to the understanding of the nature of biological phenomenon as well as to the industrial and agricultural production.
Coenzymes are the small non-protein organic molecules essential for the catalysis of the enzymes. Most coenzymes are the derivatives of vitamins, for example, vitamin B12 participates in some physiological functions in the form of coenzyme.
Pine Pollen naturally contains nearly a hundred kinds of enzymes needed by the body. They can promote the peristalsis of stomach and intestines, whet the appetite, regulate the assimilating function of the body and promote digestion and absorption. It has a good repairing effect on the gastric ulcer, duodenitis, atrophic gastritis, etc. It can regulate the immune system and endocrine system of the body. Having various kinds of natural enzymes and coenzymes as its major component is the prominent feature of the pine pollen among other heath foods.
· What effects do the Rutins in Pine Pollen have on body?
Rutin is a substance extracted from the plant, which has a good effect on body. It can increase the elasticity and resistibility of the vessel wall and effectively balance the blood pressure. The 1/200,000 intake of rutin in a grown-up will bring about a 26% increase of the resistibility of the vessel. This rare substance is contained in Pine Pollen.
· What effects does the folic acid in Pine Pollen have on body?
Pine Pollen contains folic acid, with 934ug in each 100g of pine pollen.
Folic acid, also named vitamin Bc or vitamin M, is one member of the vitamin B family. It exists widely in the green leaves of plants and in the liver or kidney of animals. The yeast also has a good content of it. Folic acid deficiency in the body will cause anemia of giant cells, accompanied by leukocytopenia, pathological changes of gastrointestinal track as well as the stagnation of growth. Recent research has shown that folic acid has more other physiological functions for the body and can prevent many diseases.
(1) The homocysteine in the blood is a metabolic product of methionine. It will cause plaques by damaging the endothelial cells of heart and blood vessels. The folic acid in the blood can convert the homocysteine into methionine. Sufficient folic acid in the body can prevent the production of homocysteine, which will lower the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
(2) Folic acid deficiency of pregnant women will damage the key parts of the baby's spine and cause malformation of the baby's neural tube, which will lead to death or deformity of the baby. Therefore, it is essential for the pregnant women to supplement an appropriate amount of folic acid. The WTO suggests that each fertile woman should take 400ug folic acid each day.
(3) Folic acid deficiency for women will cause a low level of folic acid in the blood, thus the genes of the cervical cells are easily damaged by the virus, increasing the incidence of cancer. Research has shown that women having a low level of folic acid are five times more likely to get cervical cancer than those with a normal level of folic acid. It is the same case with the rectum cancer.
Folic acid is mainly extracted from such foods as green leaves vegetable, orange and tangerine, soybean, carrot, meat, corn, milk, rhizome vegetables (e.g. potato), etc. But folic acid can't endure light and heat. Most of it will be damaged when heated. Due to this factor, together with others such as malaborption, metabolic disorders, increase of excretion people have to take folic acid from other food.
· What effects do the nucleic acids in Pine Pollen have on body?
Nucleic acids are the most important components of biological cells. They fall into two kinds: ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The research of nearly 50 years shows that nucleic acids carry all the genetic information of a life. They exist in the chromosomes of nucleus, determine the biologic heredity, guide the protein synthesis, control the differentiation and growth of cells and provide cells with nutrition and energy. So it can be said that from birth to death, the whole process of the life is dominated and controlled by nucleic acids. They are the foundation of life. All the signs of aging, such as the degeneration of the skin, hair loss and graying hair, loss of physical strength, fatigue of the body, weakening of the brainpower, fall of the eyesight, are all caused by the inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis or the insufficient supply of nucleic acids, which consequently cause the discontinuous production of new cells. People should supplement nucleic acids constantly to postpone aging and stay young. Foods rich in nucleic acids are sardine, salmon, lobster, crab, living oyster, liver, marine fish and mollusk. Soybean, haricot bean, onion, yeast and other foods also contain nucleic acids and substances which can produce nucleic acids. Nucleic acids should mainly be taken from food. However more supplement is not bound to mean better. Guozhen Pine Pollen contains nucleic acid, with 48,65mg nucleic acid in each 100g of pine pollen.
· What effects does the SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) in Pine Pollen have on body?
Before we get to know SOD, we should first know about free radicals. Why will people get ill, age and die?Recent research in biological and medical field has shown that they are caused by free radicals, which are high-energy particles that ricochet wildly and damage cells. Free radicals can be produced by metabolism in the body or enters the body from outside. If the "garbage" and toxin in the blood can not be cleared away in time, they will produce free radicals. If the toxic substances from the outside enter the body through respiration or contact of skin, they will deposit to produce free radicals. Free radicals can destroy the cell membrane of the organism or even cut off the DNA chain, thereby quicken the aging of cells and reduce the immunologic function of the organism or even induce cancer. Now it is confirmed that semi-quinone free radical may cause lung cancer, lipid free radical may cause breast cancer, superoxide free radical does harm to all kinds of tissues. So free radical is called the cell-killer. Substances which can eliminate free radical are vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, coenzyme Q, glutathione, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and so on.
SOD is regarded as the most valuable substance to scavenge free radicals, inhibit cancer and aging, improve the immunity of the organism and control inflammation, etc. It was found by Mocord and Fnidovich in 1968. Superoxide dismutase is an enzyme directly involved in antioxidation process, whose components include zinc, copper, manganese and other trace elements. Pine pollen contains a large amount of antioxidant, such as vitamin E, vitamin B, β-carotene and trace elements, etc. All these can slow down peroxidization of lipid and protein in the body thereby fulfills the function of postponing aging. Regular intake of pine pollen can regain youth, eliminate the age pigment and prolong life.
Pharmacological experiment on the little white mouse has witnessed a remarkable increase of the bioactivity of the SOD in the mouse's liver and a remarkable reduction of lipofuscin in the brain, heart and liver after a month of continuous intake of the pine pollen. In 2002, the scientific research group led by Professor Zhao Lin and Bao Jianfen from General Hospital of PLA carried out the experiments in Germany on the antioxidative capability of Pine Pollen with the ten systems for evaluating antioxygen capability. Many external model experimental systems show that Pine Pollen is a potent antioxidant and can prevent inflammation and lipid peroxidization. This experiment has achieved gratifying success and is thought highly by experts both at home and abroad.?
· How does Pine Pollen improve anemia?
Anemia, one of the four most common nutrient diseases in the world, is brought out by many causes, or is a common symptom and syndrome accompanying different diseases.
There are different kinds of anemia brought out by different causes. Most of it can be improved to certain extent with the removal of the primary causes of diseases and the remedy of the primary diseases. Many kinds of anemia can be remedied and some of them can be prevented according to the causes, such as nutrient anemia and iron-deficiency anemia. Pine pollen can increase hematogenous materials by providing balanced hematogenous substance such as iron, copper, magnesium, potassium, vitamin B, the folic acid and regulating the absorption of iron through copper. The anemia can be improved by supplementing balanced nutrients in pine pollen.
· Why can Pine Pollen alleviate constipation?
All the metabolic byproducts (containing a lot of toxicants) are excreted from the body through three systems (skin, urinary system and digestive system). Food residue produced after the nutrients are absorbed exits the body through the anus after moving all the way through the intestines, which zigzag in the abdominal cavity with a length of 7 people's height. During this process, feces are usually not execreted smoothly with its great adhesiveness and will constantly produce harmful waste. If feces are not excreted from the body in time, they will be reabsorbed by intestines, causing great harm to health. In clinical practice, constipation means the infrequent passage of stool (<3 times weekly) or difficulty in defecation, with straining or discomfort. 10
· CanPine Pollen help lose weight?
Pine Pollen can provide well-balanced nutrients with low energy, high mineral, and natural edible fiber in nutrition control.
Weight losing is a complicated matter and systematic project that can only be successfully treated with scientific approaches earnestly and persistently.
· Why is Pine Pollen called natural beauty product?
Skin health is closely connected with visceral functions, especially the digestive function, endocrine function and immune function. 90
· How does Pine Pollen help fight cell-damaging free radicals and postpone aging?
Free radicals are a series of radicals with distinct chemical properties that can cause reduced pathological changes of cellular structure and functions, accelerate the oxidation of lipid and protein, which produce lipofuscin, cause protein denaturalization, inactivate enzyme and hormone and weaken immunity. This will harm the body's structure and function directly and indirectly and finally lead to metabolic maladjustment and the body's decline.
Age pigment is an outward sign of destruction within the body caused by excessive free radicals, indicating the presence of aging. Free radicals are produced during breath, metabolism and consumption of oxygen. In fact, age pigment exists not only in the skin surface, but also in the tissues such as brain, heart and liver, which can accelerate the aging of histocyte and tissue immunity.
Pine pollen with rich trace elements such as vitamin C, vitamin E, β-carotene and selenium can scavenge the active oxygen free radicals and their byproducts and enhance the activity of the anti-oxidative enzymes such as SOD, inhibit lipid peroxidation, thus delay aging by delaying cellular aging, removing age pigment and preventing cell carcinomas and preventing and treating arteriosclerosis.
· What attention should be taken when takingPine Pollen?
(1) Healthy people and sub-healthy people can take the healthcare dose 3 times each day with 3 pills each time. Sub-healthy people with obvious symptoms can increase the dose accordingly to 3 times a day with 4-6 pills each time and adjust the dose after the improvement of the symptom.
<
(2) As for the sick, the serving should vary from person to person. You should find out the suitable dosage in the beginning with a small amount and increasing it gradually with appropriate regulations following daily observation. The original medical therapy for the sick should not be changed and delayed.
(3) No food or medicine is forbidden.Generally take half an hour before meals effects better, because taking it on an empty stomach allows more rapid ingress of the active nourishing ingredients into the small intestine where they are absorbed. For the obese, taking pine pollen before meals can help them feel full and help reduce their food intake, yet for those with stomach disorder, taking after meals can help promote digestion. Each person can adjust the administration time according to his/her own condition.
(4) The intake water temperature should be under 40
· Does Pine Pollen contraindicate its use with certain food or drug?
Pine pollen does not contraindicate its use with any food or drug. However, it is recommended to take pine pollen at least half an hour before or after taking a drug, so that the nourishing ingredients in pine pollen can be fully absorbed and its healthcare function can be best released.
· Should allergic people takePine Pollen?

· What is Fruccto Oligosacharide (FOS)?
FOS is extraced from fruit and vegetables. You may be more familiar with its common name of fructose. It has been a very popular dietary supplement for many years and now becomes increasingly popular in Western cultures for its prebiotic effects. FOS serves as a substrate for microflora in the large intestine, increasing the overall gastrointestinal tract (GI Tract) health. It has also been touted as a supplement for preventing yeast infections.
Several studies have found that FOS and inulin promote calcium absorption in both the animal and human gut.The intestinal microflora in the lower gut can ferment FOS, which results in a reduced pH. Calcium is more soluble in acid and therefore more of it comes out of food and is available to move from the gut into the bloodstream. FOS can be considered a small dietary fiber with (like all fibres) low caloric value. The fermentation of FOS results in the production of gasses and acids. The latter provide some energy to the body.
· FOS (Fruccto Oligosacharide) for diabetics?
The use of fructose in Guozhen Pine Pollen products is in a moderate amount using as only a sweetener. It might be good news for those who have type 2 diabetes as inulin in particular has no effect at all on blood sugar.
"Short- term studies have nowshown that substitution of fructose for sucrose in the diets of individualswith diabetes improves glycemic control and does not appear to havesubstantial side effects. In balanced diets, reasonable amounts of fructosesupplementation do not affect lipoprotein metabolism or result ingastrointestinal symptoms. Long- term studies are still needed to ascertainthat long-term fructose supplementation has a sustained beneficial effectin diabetes and is devoid of deleterious side effects.
· FOS (Fruccto Oligosacharide) for triglyceride?
Several scientific studies so far have shown that in people with raised triglyceride levels (either through pre-diabetes or full-blown Type 2 diabetes), taking inulin supplementation at a rate of 10g a day for 8 weeks lowered their triglyceride levels and got their fasting blood sugar levels down significantly and also lowered insulin concentration
Heart& Circulatory Health - Pine Pollen
♦ Pine Pollen
Health Benefits
The circulatory system is a closed duct system. It can be classified into the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system based on different components of liquid in the duct. The cardiovascular system is composed of the heart, artery, veins and capillary vessels, in which the blood flows. The lymphatic system is composed of the lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes and lymph organs, in which lymph fluid flows, which finally flows into the veins. Through blood circulation, the body carries nutrients assimilated in the intestinal tract and oxygen inhaled from the lungs to all tissues, and discharge carbon dioxide and wastes produced in the process of metabolism via lungs, kidneys and the skin. In addition, the circulatory system conveys hormones secreted from the endocrine system to all organs so as to regulate metabolism and other physiological functions. Lymph nodes and lymph organs can produce lymph cells and antibodies, filter foreign substances and phagocytize bacteria, so they are important protective organs. Pine pollen has the following functions on the circulatory system:
1. Lowering blood fat
Coronary heart disease induced by high blood fat is one of the major diseases threatening health. More than 20% of middle-aged brainworkers suffer from the hyperlipemia in China. According to analysts, the incidence and development of coronary heart disease has become more dangerous with the increasing content of blood fat. Therefore lowering blood fat is an effective measure to prevent and cure cardiovascular diseases.
Coronary heart disease is a disease caused by myocardial ischemia and injury due to the spasm or narrowness of the coronary artery
Blood Sugar Control - Pine Pollen

Blood sugar level measure how well your body processes sugar (glucose). Blood sugar level is used to diagnose prediabetes or diabetes.
Diabetes is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, which is a chronic progressive endocrinopathy featuring an increased level of blood sugar. This is due to either an absolute or relative lack of insulin. According to the survey by the WHO, diabetes, cancer and coronary heart disease are all related to life styles. Thus dietetic treatment plays a major role in treating diabetes, supported by sport and medical treatment.
As proved by clinical practice, pollen is not only the best nutrient food but also has a good curative effect on diabetes. Many diabetes medicines, whether developed by foreign or Chinese, have the component of pollen. According to the study of modern medical science, the mechanism behind pollen's treatment on diabetes is as follows:
Vitamin B6 in the pollen is able to protect β cells in the pancreas. Modern research shows that the main reason for the lack of insulin lies in the malfunction or destruction of β cells. The destruction of β cells is caused by nutrient imbalance. The body can assimilate a limited part of tryptophan contained in food rich in protein like meat. To transform into a substance beneficial for the body, surplus tryptophan has to be controlled by vitamin B6. In case of insufficient vitamin B6, surplus tryptophan will automatically transform into the xanthurenic acid. When the xanthurenic acid accumulates to a certain amount in the body, it will destroy β cells in the pancreas to such an extent that the cells lose the function of secreting insulin, thus diabetes is caused. Eating more pollen can provide enough vitamin B6 so as to control surplus tryptophan due to eating meat and fish and prevent them from transforming into xanthurenic acid. Thus β cells in the pancreas will not be destroyed, and they will regain the ability to secrete insulin gradually, leading to the gradual recovery of diabetes.
Abundant microelements and macroelements also have good results on diabetes patients. As revealed by clinical research, chrome, zinc, manganese and ferro and macroelements like magnesium calcium and phosphor have special affinity with diabetes. More chrome can invigorate insulin and improve sugar tolerance. Calcium is able to impact the secretion and release of insulin. Lower content of phosphor may cause the abnormal integration of insulin on the cell membrane. Zinc is able to maintain the structure and function of insulin, while magnesium participates in the functional regulation of β cells and improve metabolism.
Clinical tests on diabetes patients indicate a universal lack of zinc, calcium and magnesium. Pollen contains rich microelements like ferro, copper, zinc, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, etc. besides calcium, phosphor, potassium, sodium and magnesium.
Pollen has a high content of cellulose, with the content of single lignin reaching 25.9%. Recent years have witnessed improvement in the study of cellulose-rich food treatment on diabetes patients.
The largest threats to diabetes patients are cardiovascular complicating diseases, kidney diseases, nerve disorder, cataract, skin diseases, etc. The reason why diabetes is vulnerable to so many complicating diseases is that the lack of insulin in the body hampers normal carbohydrate metabolism, thus the body can not obtain required energy. Under such circumstances, the body can only transform fat and protein reserve into energy to meet the needs of the body. However the transformation can't be achieved smoothly without the assistance of potassium. Thus potassium is consumed in a large amount. Because the content of potassium in the body is limited, considerable consumption leads to the lack of potassium and consequently complicating diseases. For example, it may cause the burst of glomerule and kidney diseases; poor kidney filtering causes hypertension and more burden on the heart, and consequently diseases of the circulatory system; and more seriously, the lack of potassium may disable the transformation of fat and protein into energy and the body does not have enough energy to maintain body temperature, with body temperature lowering unconsciously and thus causing coma and even endangering life. Pine pollen is rich in potassium, with the content of 128.3 mg potassium per 100g. Taking pine pollen can provide enough potassium and thus prevent the occurrence of complicating diseases of diabetes and is conducive to the recovery of diabetes patients.
So far, researches have proved that taking pollen is a safe and effective dietary treatment. It is noticeable that original medicine treatment should not be stopped at the beginning of taking pollen. Under the guidance of doctors, patients should gradually reduce medicine-taking amount as they take pollen.

Cholesterol is a fatty substance, also called a lipid or blood fat. Coronary heart disease induced by high blood fat is one of the major diseases threatening health. More than 20% of middle-aged brainworkers suffer from the hyperlipemia in China. According to analysts, the incidence and development of coronary heart disease has become more dangerous with the increasing content of blood fat. Therefore lowering blood fat is an effective measure to prevent and cure cardiovascular diseases.
Coronary heart disease is a disease caused by myocardial ischemia and injury due to the spasm or narrowness of the coronary artery
Immune Support - Pine Pollen
♦ Pine Pollen
Health Benefits On Products
The body's immune system consists of immune organs and cells and is the body's defense barrier and protects the body from invasion of bacterium, virus, and cancer cells. Its composition is as follows:
1. Anti-tumor
According to the statistics of tumor etiology, the incidence of tumors increases with age. Ages between 20 and 60 witness frequent tumor morbidity, which increases by 2-7 times at every 10-year interval. Immunologists consider that immune organs and functions gradually decline with age, which mostly explains the relationship between aging and tumor morbidity. Environmental pollution, dietary structure and mental state, etc. also have an impact on the body's immune function. According to related studies, the incidence of most tumors has a long-term latent period, 10-30 years. Thus scientists hold that such a long latent period provides people with sufficient opportunities to prevent cancers.
Tlymphocytes and macrophages in the blood can effectively kill bacteria, viruses and cancer cells. They are produced by bone marrow. Dysfunction of hematopoiesis or the lack of thymus gland function will reduce Tlymphocytes and macrophages, thus lowering the body's immune functions. Therefore the marrow's hematopoiesis function and the function of the thymus gland, the number of T lymphocytes and macrophages in the blood are indicators measuring the immune function of the body. Some special substances in pollen like amino acid, microelements, vitamins and nucleic acid can enhance and improve cells' oxidation reduction ability, and play a role in consolidating cell immune function and enhancing macrophages' phagocytosis. β carotene in pollen can eliminate free radicals in the body. Too many free radicals will cause gene mutation, which is the basis of the pathological process of cancer cells. β carotene can also be degraded into vitamin A (retinal, retinene and isotretinoin) by the intestinal wall or the liver with dioxygenase. Research on the anti-cancer function of retinoic acid has been widely made. Its major function lies in protecting normal cell membrane and preventing entry of cancerogenous substances. Isotretinoin is an ideal source of nutrients for patients suffering lowered immune function and chronic consumptions.
Pollen's anti-tumor function has raised a wide concern. It inhibits tumors but will not kill normal cells, while clinically applied chemical medicines kill both, often leading to declining physical state in the process of treatment. Therefore pollen is also a supporting medicine in radiotherapy and chemotherapy, boasting a reputation of 'guard against tumors'.
2. Nourishing the brain and benefiting intellectual power
Modern research reveals that human cerebrum is 1,400 g in weight, with about 14 billion brain cells. After 20 years old, about 100,000 brain cells will die every day. By the age of 60, the number of brain cells will have been reduced by one tenth of the number at 20 years old. Elderly people's memory and thinking ability deteriorate obviously, which shows the decline and aging of the cerebrum. At present, nearly 4 million elderly persons suffer from dementia of different degrees. Clinical practice demonstrates that pollen can not only invigorate the brain and promote intellectual power but also treat the decline of memory and dementia.
As discovered by scientists, the decline of memory and lower intellectual power are directly related to malnourishment. Pollen's function in nourishing the brain is based on the fact that it contains more than 200 nutrient ingredients. Being the essence of plants, the abundant ingredients are full of vitality and balance, recognized as 'the best of natural food' by the nutritionist circle. Pollen has the following nutrient ingredients that can invigorate the brain and benefit intellectual power.
(1) Protein and amino acid. Protein is the major component of transmission medium that communicates to nerve cells. Thus an ample protein supply is necessary for invigorating the brain and increasing intellectual power, and especially the growth of brain cells needs special protein. Waterman, a scholar from the US, pointed out that protein components-tyrosine, phenylalanine, leucine, tryptophan and valine are especially important to brain activity. The enhancement of the function of certain nerve cells in the brain is conducive for nervous excitation conduction and bring the function of memory and thinking into better play. It explained why A.Kaya had so many ideas in such a short period of time that he could not record them after he kept taking pollen. Pollen contains rich and sufficient protein and amino acid. Pollen contains almost all the amino acids that human beings have discovered so far, and most of them exist in the free form, which means that they can be directly assimilated by the body.
(2) Fat. Fat accounts for 60% to 65% of the cerebrum. Unsaturated fatty acid, phospholipids and cholesterol are key substances of brain cells and nerve tissue, and play a significant role in the growth of the cerebrum and the whole nerve system. Unsaturated fatty acid envelopes parts of the nerve fiber, enabling signal communication among cells. Sufficient unsaturated fatty acid guarantees normal communication of the signals, which is the basis of the intellectual power. Pollen is a kind of food featuring high protein and low fat content, most of which is unsaturated fatty acid.
(3) Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates supply most of the energy for the cerebrum. Only carbohydrates can pass through the blood-brain barrier, enter brain tissue, and be utilized by brain cells. The cerebrum only accounts for 1/40~1/50 of the body's weight, but consumes 1/5 of the energy consumption of the whole body. Every day the cerebrum consumes 100~200g of carbohydrates to maintain thinking activity, of which 85% is glucose. The higher concentration of glucose in the blood means that the cerebrum can obtain more 'fuel', thus memory function can be improved. Carbohydrates in pollen mostly exist in the form of monosaccharide and glucose, which can be directly assimilated by the body.
(4) Vitamins. All kinds of vitamins have an impact on intellectual power, especially vitamins B, most of which are related to the growth of nerve cells. The lack of vitamin B6 will result in the decline of nerve cells and weaken their function. The lack of vitamin B1 will lead to the dysfunction of the nerve system and non-concentration of attention. Choline can help nerve to communicate information. With the transmission substance, human beings can maintain perception and memory. Vitamin C, vitamin D and vitamin E are also related to intellectual power. Vitamin C is an important component of neurotransmission medium, having the function of promoting brain activity and greatly related to enhance IQ. As shown by tests, increasing vitamin C concentration in the blood by 50% will upgrade IQ by 3.6%. Vitamin D has the function of preventing brain cells from aging. Pollen is just a natural concentrate of multiple vitamins.
(5) Trace elements. Many trace elements are related to intellectual power. The lack of zinc will lower intellectual power; the lack of ferro will hamper brain activity and thus affect recognition ability and behavior discerning and language ability; the lack of copper will make persons obtuse and the lack of magnesium will affect the immune cells' function, growth and distribution. Dr. Zaloc of the US said: 'The problem is that most people are on the verge of insufficient magnesium intake, thus they cannot obtain the best immune effect.' All these elements can be found in pollen.
(6) Nucleic acid. It plays an important role in synthesis of protein, division and reproduction of cells and biological heritage. Especially, ribonucleic acid is significant to maintain the memory of the cerebrum, and magnesium can facilitate its entry into the brain. When ribonucleic acid in the brain increases, memory is enhanced. Pollen contains nucleic acid.
In general, promoting brain health and increasing intellectual power must be achieved through nutrient intake. All nutrients must be taken in a proper proportion. The lack of any kind of nutrients will have an impact on intellectual power. It is hard to make a comprehensive and reasonable nutrient by using artificial methods. Any brain products can't match up to pollen
Diet&Weight Control - Pine Pollen
♦ Pine Pollen
Health Benefits On Products
Those taking pollen have an obvious feeling that their appetite is increased. Pollen can not only increase appetite, but also promote food digestion and absorption by the digestive system, and enhance the function of the digestive system. French pollen expert, A. Kaya said 'pollen can make scraggy patients become strong when other therapeutics are shown to be non-effective, however, even there is no need for overweight people eating pollen to be worried for pollen won't make you gain weight.' It was also proved by clinical studies that the figures of those taking pollen were adjusted and their waistline reduced greatly, and such effect is consistent to the 'losing weight after long-time use' recorded in Chinese medical literature.
ExperimentsKeeping a standard weight has become a modern health fashion. The metabolic imbalance is easily caused by the way some of the obese adopt to lose weight through reducing food, which does great harm to health in that it not only can't thoroughly eliminate the surplus fat, but also will lead to some complications. The experiment of controlling weight by taking pine pollen has been carried out by the Nutritional Physiological Research Institute of Munich Technology University. In that experiment, pine pollen was added to the semi-synthesized feed and equivalent trace elements and energy were added to the control group. The determination of the rats' weight and food intake showed that the weight gain of the group fed with pine pollen was 2.3~2.5 gram/each lower than that fed with equivalent trace elements and energy and a lower food transfer rate. In addition, the experiment shows pine pollen's great safety to the growing rats without any simulative effect
Anti-fatigue - Pine Pollen
♦ Pine Pollen
Fatigue has become a symbolic symptom of social civilization in modern society with fast development and quick tempo. Fatigue is a protective signal of health. The transfer from fatigue to illness must go through a certain process in which fatigue accumulates gradually before it finally turns into illness. Experiments have proved that pine pollen can eliminate fatigue completely by improving physical strength and energy.
Experiment 1: Female mice weighting 15-17g were selected, matched according to their weight and grouped randomly. The experiment was carried out in two batches: one with 20g/kg of pine pollen and 20ml/kg of pine pollen extract, the other with 15g/kg of pine pollen and 15ml/kg of pine pollen extract. Pine pollen and its extract were mixed and given with a small amount of feed every day before common food was given to the mice. The experiment continued for 30 days in order to test each group's anti-fatigue capacity.
(1) Mouse's rotating bar experiment
Take the mice to the electric rotating bar and force them to keep running quickly. Record the time from which the mice rotated on the bar until they drop from the bar with fatigue, which was regarded as the mice's rotating bar time.
The result is shown in Figure 1.

Mankind has been dreaming of and pursuing health and longevity. According to the medical circle, one's life is closely related to factors such as heredity, nutrition, health, living environment, society, and so forth. Pine pollen's anti-aging and prolonging longevity effect has been confirmed by aging research and clinical practice of pine pollen. The mechanism of pine pollen's anti-aging effect lies in that it can increase the amount of mitochondria dominating cell's breath by improving cells' activity in the body and maintaining their vitality and prevent lipid desposition in the arterial wall and consequently prevent atherosclerosis. When the amount of superoxide dismutase in red cells increases, the content of oxidative lipid will decrease, which will consequently weaken the formation of lipofuscin in the animal's body (cardiac muscle, liver and brain). The body's anti-oxidation capacity will be improved remarkably when determined with superoxide dismutase's activity and lipid content after pine pollen is taken.
In this experiment, 60 mice with 60 days' life are divided into three groups with 20 in each group, half males and half females. Give gastrogavage to the mice of the first group and the second group with pine pollen of 300 mg/kg and 600 mg/kg every day. The experiment continues for a month and the result shows: the mice taking pine pollen have higher superoxide dismutase activity than the control group (See Figure 1).
Digestion Health - Pine Pollen
♦ Pine Pollen
Health Benefits On Products
The digestive system is composed of the digestive tract and digestive gland. The digestive tract is a long flexuous tract from the oral cavity to the anus, and the digestive gland is a gland that secretes digestive juices. Digestion and absorption are two important functions for the body to acquire energy and maintain life. Among them, the digestive system is to digest and decompose the food in the body, and further absorb and process the foods and then make them become the substances of the body, which can be used by the tissues of the whole body, and to expel the unabsorbed and non-nutrients. Therefore, the digestive system is crucial for the nutrients absorption of the body. After sporoderm-breaking, pine pollen becomes superfine powder releasing all its nutrient components, which are reflected through the following aspects:
1. Liver Preservation and Protection
The liver is the centrum of substance metabolism, which almost participates in all the metabolic processes. The four main functions of the liver are as follows:
(1) Carbohydrate metabolism. The liver is an important organ to keep blood sugar steady. When blood sugar content rises after meals, many hepatic glycogens will be formed with the participation of insulin depending on which blood sugar content will reduce; if on an empty stomach, hepatic glycogens will be transferred to glucose and enter blood and blood sugar content will rise. If carbohydrates are insufficient in the body and hepatic glycogen storage reduces, the liver can make some non-carbohydrate-like protein, fat and lactic acid to be transferred to glycogens through gluconeogenesis.
(2) Lipid metabolism. The liver can secrete bile, which holds strong emulsifying ability so that fat can be decomposed and digested easily. Moreover, the liver is also the main place where phospholipid and cholesterol are synthesized.
(3) Protein metabolism. Apart from synthesizing the protein needs by itself, the liver can also synthesize most of the plasma proteins.
(4) Vitamin metabolism. The liver is the storage site for vitamin A and K, etc. and bile is essential to the absorption of lipid soluble vitamins, and many vitamins participate in synthesizing some coenzymes in the liver.
Thus, to compare the liver to the body's 'chemical plant' is very vivid. The liver is the biggest organ for detoxification. Modern people suffer from pollution all the time, and there are three pollution sources: the first is biotic pollution, which mainly includes bacteria and virus pollutions. The second is chemical pollution, which mainly originates from polluted food because of various pollution routes. For instance, using substandard packaging materials, containers and additives, and toxic substances in industrial waste water and exhaust gases discharged into rivers and the atmosphere are absorbed by fish and then create more serious food pollution as they climb the food chain. The third is radioactive pollution, which is mainly caused by the food that can absorb external radioactive species. The radioactive sickness caused by diet has a long latent period and often takes the form of tumors. The liver is the most important organ for dealing with the above conditions, thus people also compare the liver to the body's 'plant for detoxification'.
The veins and arteries of the liver start from the body's feet, pass the urinary system, genitalia, intestines, liver, gallbladder, spleen, heart, lungs, breast, thyroid gland, ears and then head, and finally to eyes, almost passing all the important organs of the body. Therefore, many familiar diseases can be closely associated with the liver.
There is no specific medicine to hepatitis B, but dietotherapy has been known to be an effective method. Diet regulation and reasonable nutrients are important to taking good care of the liver. Pine pollen's protection effect on the liver is reflected in many aspects: monosaccharide in pine pollen is helpful for synthesizing hepatic glycogens, and incretions and enzymes have positive effects on protein synthesis and metabolism. Proteins are decomposed to amino acid, 20% of which will come into flood directly for tissue needs, and most will stay in the liver to be re-synthesized. If hepatic protein is insufficient, fat is stored in the liver and then become hepatic lipidosis or hepatic lipidosis will become hepatic cirrhosis. Pollen is rich in proteins and amino acids. Hepatic function recovery needs food with balanced amino acid. Furthermore, vitamin B and microelements such as copper, zinc and magnesium etc. in pollen participate in forming many hepatic enzymes, and have an effect on activating enzymes, then promotes the regeneration and restoration of hepatic cells and promotes the secretion of bile. Therefore, pollen is the best nutrient for taking good care of the liver.
2. Adjusting the Functions of Gastrointestinal Tract
Pine pollen adjusts the functions of the gastrointestinal tract based on its natural and nutrient properties; in particular it has special curative effect on gastrointestinal functional turbulence. Pine pollen is rich in vitamin B1 i.e. thiamin, which is the main component of decarboxylase coenzyme. Decarboxylase coenzyme is a kind of important substance for adjusting carbohydrate metabolism, vitamin B1 can promote peristalsis, enhance digestive function, and normalize the secretion of gastric juices, and activate intestine function. It can also alleviate intractable diarrhea, enteritis and coliform infections caused by the free propagation of the dangerous enteric pathogenic bacteria and microbes without affecting the normal enteric bacteria. Pollen can annihilate deleterious microbes or make them dormant so as to be helpful for the rapid propagation of wholesome microbes. Therefore, amazing results will occur after the first few days of taking pollen in normal diet, and thus pollen is called as 'the enteric guard'.
3. Habitual Constipation Treatment
The food fibers in pollen have significant effect on enteric decontamination. When pollen promotes peristalsis, the food fibers will bring various foreign materials and toxins out of the body so as to create a good effect on enteric decontamination. Therefore, the food fibers are called 'enteric cleaner'. Habitual constipation is a pathogenic potential factor for the middle-aged and the old, especially for heart disease and cerebrovascular diseases patients, who often come across sudden conditions because of straining to defecate. Thus, to treat constipation is very important for keeping fit and preventing cerebrovascular events. The treating effect of pollen on constipation is very good and continuous, and hardly affected by gender, age and constipation history.
4. Preventing colon cancer
Pollen contains a large amount of dietary fiber, which is not only able to 'clean' the intestinal canal but also shorten the time when feces stays in the colon, dilute the concentration of poisonous substances, regulate and change the metabolism of the colon and enhance its tension and activity, thus being conducive to prevent colon cancer. Pollen's impact on the digestive system is direct and obvious. Food is primary for life. To maintain subsistence, human beings take a large amount of nutrients from food every day. The state of the stomach and intestines directly impacts and determines nutrient assimilation. From physiological perspective, viscera functions begin to decline after middle ages. Therefore keeping the stomach and intestines in a normal state is necessary for digesting and assimilating various nutrients taken by the body. It is the embodiment of pollen's function.
Experiments
The liver is the body's chemical plant. After food enters the digestive tract, starch and polysaccharides with the effect of digestive enzyme are decomposed into glucose in blood before they are absorbed by cell histiocyte, while the surplus glucose will be stored in after it is synthesized into glycogen. When needed, glycogen can be released into blood after being decomposed into glucose for the tissues' use.
(1) Naturalness: the raw materials of Pine Pollen are taken from Masson pine pollen growing in the hilly and mountainous areas of Zhejiang province of China, free from pollution of pesticides and chemical fertilizer.
(2) Viability: Each grain of pine pollen is a small viable life, containing various kinds of nutrients and active substances. Endowed with a certain affinity with the body, it can be easily accepted and assimilated by the body and then transported to each part of the body for utilization.
(3) Nutritiousness: Since it contains over 200 active nutrients needed by the body, pine pollen can sufficiently replenish and balance nutrients necessary for health.
(4) Safety: Pine Pollen is a purely natural health food without animal or insect hormone.
(5) Effectiveness: Most pine pollen users can find out the positive effects to different extents.
· Where is the origin of raw Pine Pollen?
The principal raw materials of Pine Pollen come from China.Pine Pollen is processed from pollens of Chinese Pinus Massoniana Lamb. Chinese Pinus Massoniana Lamb is a unique indigenous species of pine tree in China, which enjoys an exceptional advantage in terms of resource availability . The areas in which it mostly grows range from Huai River and Tsinling Mountains in the north, to southern parts of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces in the south, southeast coastline and Taiwan in the east, and central parts of Guizhou and Sichuan provinces in the west, covering 17 provinces (autonomous regions) . It can be found in more than a half part of China, with the total resource in the area south to Huai River and Tsinling Mountains alone exceeding 20,000,000 hectares.
Chinese Pinus Massoniana Lamb looms in the spring every year. Each male cone produces about 157 , 600 pollen particles. Each sprout produces 0.61g pollen on average,each square meter of tree crown 90.68g , and each hectare of plantation 755.7kg. Therefore, it is estimated that the annual yield of pollen from it alone could exceed 1 , 500,000 tons in China.
The raw materials of Pine Pollen are mainly collected from Qiandao Lake, or Thousand-island Lake, in Zhejiang province of China and hill areas at altitude below 1500m, where few people reside and are far from various sources of pollution, such as cities, highways and pesticides. Qiandao Lake, with an area of 580 square kilometers and 94.7% forest coverage , top level air quality and naturally pure water , ranks as the first class national water resource reserve. The pine pollen produced in this naturally clean environment is thus free of pollution.
· Has Pine Pollen been tested safe to eat?
The record of pine pollen's innocuity in *Compendium of Materia Medica through ages is the fruit of Chinese people's practices for thousands of years. In modern times, the pilot study has been carried out on the pine pollen's effect on the growing rats' zinic metabolism and lipid metabolism by the nutrition experts in the Nutritional Physiological Institute of Munich Technology University, Germany with an attempt to make assessments of the physiological effects of pine pollen's nutrition. The result shows pine pollen's great safety that all physiological indexes of the first-weaned rats remain unchanged after they take 5﹪of pine pollen feed with a balance between the contents of feed, zinic, protein and other nutrients. The record of pine pollen's innocuity in Compendium of Materia Medica through ages has been confirmed by the experiments of pine pollen's acute toxicity, inductive mutation and sub-acute toxicity from modern medical perspective.
* Compendium of Materia Medica[
· Who are the target users of Pine Pollen?
Pine Pollen is a health food as well as a common nutriment. It is suitable for sub-healthy people as well as healthy people to protect their health or prevent diseases. Besides, it is suitable for people with an unbalanced diet.There are three kinds of health condition: health, sub-health, illness.
It is reported that about 70% of Chinese people suffer from sub-health due to the fast pace of life and great pressure from work. Sub-health will be shown in two ways: one is that the physical examination indexes are normal but people themselves do not feel well; the other is that the physical examination indexes are abnormal while people themselves feel quite well. Sub-healthy people should first adjust their life styles and try to do the followings: having a balanced diet, taking an appropriate amount of exercise, giving up smoking and drinking, and keeping a mental balance.
Besides, it is not suitable for sub-healthy people to take medicine, but if they do nothing, diseases can follow up gradually. Therefore, it is advisable for them to choose a suitable health food to regulate the physical functions in addition to adjusting their life styles, and a good effect will be achieved from health food instead of taking medicine. Pine Pollen, with its special healthcare function, can postpone aging and improve the quality of life by improving health conditions of the sub-healthy people and preserving the health of healthy people.
· What is the best approach to taking trace element?
Trace element is classified by nutritionist as the nutrients whose amount is less than 10 milligram, among all the nutrients absorbed daily by the body. It accounts for a small percentage in the body but is indispensable. Either over or under taken, it could cause physiological abnormality or diseases.
Taking trace element from food is encouraged by experts. Although, in the short term, it can be effective to take trace element preparation (or medicine) at trace element deficiency, trace element can only be digested and absorbed in the body through chelation reaction, which joins the inorganic mineral elements and the amino acid in the body into chelating compounds. Besides, there is some constrains on taking trace element preparations such as zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, sodium sulfate, sodium sulfite because these chemical preparations possess stimulant properties and low absorption rate. However the organic mineral trace element compounds (such as ferrous gluconate, zinc glutamate, cupric citrate) and trace element bioforms (such as zinic yeast, selenium yeast, zinc mushroom powder and pollen) are much easier to be absorbed and work more effectively with a low side effect.
The trace elements in pine pollen, existing in plant cells, are regarded best for their bioactivity, poisonlessness, long term edibility without side effect, which confirms the saying that it is better to take trace element through food than through medicine.
· What nutritious ingredients are contained in Pine Pollen?
According to the research, the nutritious components are categorized into five groups:
(1) 20 kinds of amino acid, 8 of which are essential to the body.
(2) 14 kinds of vitamins.
(3) 30 kinds of mineral elements.
(4) about a hundred kinds of enzymes and active substances.
(5) nucleic acids, fibrins, unsaturated fatty acids, flavonoids, choline, etc.
· Can Pine Pollen boost its nutrition after sporoderm-broken process?
Pollen grains are wrapped in the solid shell, which protects the nutrients and hereditary substance in it as an "armor". The pollen wall has a great capacity of not only with standing being soaked in caustic soda and boiled in water but also resisting radioactivity. Experiments made by Japanese scholars by increasing the radioactive dose shows that the lethal dose of radiation on human beings is 0.15 coulomb/kilogram whereas a dose of 77.4-129 coulomb/kilogram on pollen cells demonstrates the marvelous solidity and anti-radioactivity properties of the pollen shell. It is originated in Japan that the digestive juice of human beings and monogastric animal can not break down the sporoderm of the pollen, thus the sporodem has to be removed before all the nutrients in pollen can be absrobed. However, European and American countries that have popularized pollen products hold that the pollen with a sporoderm or without a sporoderm can both be absorbed by the body. For many years, no agreement has been reached on this issue whether it is necessary or not to break the pollen sporoderm. This argument has captured the great attention of nutritionists. Many studies have been carried out on the sporoderm-breaking of pollen by experts at home and abroad as a scientific research subject.
The study on the microforms and nutrients has been made by the Trace Element Research Laboratory of the General Hospital of the PLA with an analytic comparison on the nutrients of natural pollen and sporoderm-broken pollen and a discussion has been provided on the effect of the sporoderm breaking on the pollen structure and nutrients after an observation on the changes of the microforms before and after the sporoderm is broken with the scanning electron microscope.
Pine pollen is a kind of faint yellow powder with a light texture easy to flow and a soft feel of lubricity. The fluid property of pine pollen can be perceived when a bottle with it is being shaken but the fluid properties are lost when its sporoderm is broken with the high speed airflow pulverization method causing the change on its physical properties, unable to flow due to the tremendous adhesiveness of the sporoderm-broken pine pollen.
The vesicae shed and separate themselves from the pollen grains under the mechanical force while they are crashing with one another under the force of the high speed airflow during the sporoderm-broken process. The main bodies of the sporoderm-broken pollen grains are relatively enriched due to the fact that the vesicae are easy to be carried by the high speed airflow for its special physical structure and get lost with the force of the airflow. The analysis on the related components of natural and sporoderm-broken pine pollen reveals a dramatic decrease in the content of hemicellulose from 12.8
· Is there any hormone in Pine Pollen?
Pine Pollen is health food without any animal hormone, insect hormone, dope and toxic side-effects.
Plant hormones are natural organic compounds that can regulate plant growth and belong to the steroid or simple organic acid family. Despite the use of "hormone", they differ greatly from animal hormone in terms of the origin, biological synthesis, transmission process and effects in that it is just a growth factor for plants without any negative effect on the body.
· How does flavones contained in Pine Pollen work to body?
In phytochromes,bioflavonoids have a great amount in fruits and vegetables with colors.Pollen is the very part of the plant where pigments accumulate.Carotinoids and flavonoids are the most common plant pigments.Every 100g of pine pollen contains 29.26mg total flavonoids(rutin).
Flavonoid has a lot of functions such as lowering blood pressure, reducing lipidemia, preventing thrombosis, strengthening immunity, improving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blood circulation, etc. Flavonoid, similar to vitamin C, is metabolized quickly, and evacuated by urine when it is in surplus.
As far as scientists are concerned, flavonoid is a newly discovered natural nutrient necessary for the body. The lack of flavonoid in the body will lead to cerebral dysfunction, inadequate cardiac function, blood vessel cirrhosis and brittleness. With small molecules it is easily absorbed by the body and enter fat tissues through blood barriers; hence, it has a general effect for many health conditions, such as anti-inflammation, anti-allergy and anti-tumor, restraining bacteria and virus, and preventing liver diseases and thrombosis.
Flavonoid should be taken consistently. With a fast metabolism it dose not accumulate in the body. Meanwhile, It has to be obtained from food, it can not be synthesized in the body.
· What do vitamins in Pine Pollen effect your body?
The term of vitamin, meaning the element to preserve life, was first put forward by FUNK in 1912. Through constant researching, over 20 kinds of vitamins have been found out to be essential to the body. Vitamin can be divided into water-soluble vitamin (vitamin B family and vitamin C) and fat-soluble vitamin (vitamin A, β-carotene, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K). Vitamin is an organic compound essential for maintaining the natural physiological functions of the body. They can not be synthesized in the body (or little is synthesized) and must be taken from the food. Each kind of vitamin has its own physiological function and can not be substituted. The body needs quite a small amount of them but they are absolutely indispensable.
The vitamins in the pine pollen exist in a biologically natural form in the cells, with full bioactivity and good absorptivity. They work together in the body. For example, vitamin A, C and E protect one another from being oxidized, and best effect will be obtained when they supplement each other; Vitamin B, B2 and B6 must be supplemented in the proportion of 1:1:1; Vitamin E and selenium supplement each other; Vitamin C can help the absorption of iron; Vitamin D helps the absorption of calcium. The absorption of the nutrients is a complicated process and more absorption does not mean better effect.
Contents and functions of vitamins in Pine Pollen
· What do the minerals in Pine Pollen effect your body?
Minerals are the inorganic components in the body. It can be divided into constant-element and trace element according to the content of them in the body. Constant-elements in the pine pollen are: potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, phosphor, silicon, etc. Trace elements are: iron, zinc, selenium, manganese, molybdenum, etc. Each mineral in the body has its own physiological function. They can keep the acid-base balance in the body fluid. They are components and activators of many enzymes.
The minerals in the pine pollen exist in the natural plants in the form of naturally biological form, with the characteristics of good absorptivity and no toxic side effect. Meanwhile, some mineral elements in pine pollen work with vitamins to keep the balance of the micronutrients in the body.
· What effects does the amino acid in Pine Pollen have on body?
Amino acid, whose physiological function is to synthesize protein, is the fundamental unit of protein, which is the physical basis for life. It can maintain the nitrogen equilibrium and is the raw material for different enzymes, antibodies and some hormones and can also regulate their physiological functions. It provides heat energy for the body, promotes growth, replenishes the metabolic consumption, and maintains the normal osmotic pressure of capillary. Amino acids can be divided into essential amino acid and non-essential amino acid according to their nutrient value.
Under proper condition, the body can synthesize some kinds of amino acid and eight kinds of them have to be provided by foodstuffs. The eight kinds of amino acid are essential to the body, so they are called essential amino acids which fulfill an important physiological functions on the body. These eight kinds of essential amino acid are: isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, tryptophan, threonine, phenylalanine and valine. Children also need histidine.
The body needs a certain amount of each essential amino acid and they can only be fully utilized with a corresponding proportional pattern. WHO has laid down the standard for that and the food whose proportion of the essential amino acids meets the standard is considered highly nutritious. Pine pollen is basically up to the standard. · What effects do the dietary fiber in Pine Pollen have on body?
Cellulose is a polysaccharide made with repeated glucose units bonded together and the major component of the plant's cell wall. The cellulose in the pine pollen is the major component of inner and outer wall of pine pollen's microspore. It is always attached to the lignin, semicellulose, pectin, etc., with the content up to 29%. The content of lignin is especially high, which is of great significance to the digestive function of the body.
In the past twenty years, after an in-depth research, medical experts and nutritionists have confirmed the nutrient value of dietary fiber and list it the seventh nutritious elements in the world. In recent years, FAO, U.S., Canada, Japan, China and other countries all have mentioned in authoritative works that dietary fiber is one of the essential nutrients for the balance of the diet structure. The effects of dietary fiber in pine pollen are:
(1) Preventing colonic cancer. Colonic cancer is caused by the long stay of certain excitants or poisons in the colon. If the content of the cellulose in the food is too low, the long-stay of harmful substances in intestines will poison the intestine wall. Gradually, it will induce colon cancer. In the case of a higher content of dietary fiber, the cellulose that enters the large intestine will be selectively decomposed and fermented by the inner cells and this accelerates the mass reproduction of beneficial bacteria (diplococcus and lactobacillus), meanwhile, it stimulates the intestine mucosa, quickens the excretion of feces and normalizes the intestine function.
(2) Preventing coronary heart disease. The dietary fiber is effective in preventing and improving heart disease caused by coronary arteriosclerosis. That's because, the cellulose can restrain or postpone the absorption of cholesterol and glyceride in lymph by certain action. With normal diet, prevention and cure of coronary arteriosclerosis and heart disease can be achieved by the proper increase of the dietary fiber intake and decrease of the fat intake, which will reduce the level of cholesterol in the body.
(3) Regulating the blood sugar level of diabetics. Inadequate intake of the dietary fiber is one of the major causes for the high incidence of diabetes. The blood sugar level can be regulated by increasing the content of dietary fiber in the food, which will improve the sensitivity of ending tissues to the insulin.
(4) Bringing about the early feeling of repletion of the stomach, reduce foodstuff intake and prevent adiposity. It has a good effect on weight-losing for the obese.
(5) Reducing the intake of bile acid, change the speed of assimilation of food and the secretion amount of the digestive juice. It can prevent cholecystolithiasis, duodenitis, hemorrhoids, ulcerative colitis, large intestine cancer and other diseases.
Pine pollen with a high content of cellulose, is ideal health food for supplementing dietary fiber.
· What effects do the enzymes in Pine Pollen have on body?
Enzymes, formerly called "ferments", are complicated proteins with catalytic functions. Its catalytic capacity is regarded as the viability of enzymes. They are characterized by their high specificity. Nearly all the chemical changes of the organism take place under the catalysis of the enzymes. Enzymes have high catalytic efficiency, for one enzyme molecule catalyzes hundreds to millions of substrate molecules in one minute. Enzymes are usually named after their substrate or the characteristics of their functions. For example, amylase acts on the amylum, chymosin promotes the coagulation of milk, and glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of glucose. Enzymes are also of great significance to the cure and diagnose of diseases, to the understanding of the nature of biological phenomenon as well as to the industrial and agricultural production.
Coenzymes are the small non-protein organic molecules essential for the catalysis of the enzymes. Most coenzymes are the derivatives of vitamins, for example, vitamin B12 participates in some physiological functions in the form of coenzyme.
Pine Pollen naturally contains nearly a hundred kinds of enzymes needed by the body. They can promote the peristalsis of stomach and intestines, whet the appetite, regulate the assimilating function of the body and promote digestion and absorption. It has a good repairing effect on the gastric ulcer, duodenitis, atrophic gastritis, etc. It can regulate the immune system and endocrine system of the body. Having various kinds of natural enzymes and coenzymes as its major component is the prominent feature of the pine pollen among other heath foods.
· What effects do the Rutins in Pine Pollen have on body?
Rutin is a substance extracted from the plant, which has a good effect on body. It can increase the elasticity and resistibility of the vessel wall and effectively balance the blood pressure. The 1/200,000 intake of rutin in a grown-up will bring about a 26% increase of the resistibility of the vessel. This rare substance is contained in Pine Pollen.
· What effects does the folic acid in Pine Pollen have on body?
Pine Pollen contains folic acid, with 934ug in each 100g of pine pollen.
Folic acid, also named vitamin Bc or vitamin M, is one member of the vitamin B family. It exists widely in the green leaves of plants and in the liver or kidney of animals. The yeast also has a good content of it. Folic acid deficiency in the body will cause anemia of giant cells, accompanied by leukocytopenia, pathological changes of gastrointestinal track as well as the stagnation of growth. Recent research has shown that folic acid has more other physiological functions for the body and can prevent many diseases.
(1) The homocysteine in the blood is a metabolic product of methionine. It will cause plaques by damaging the endothelial cells of heart and blood vessels. The folic acid in the blood can convert the homocysteine into methionine. Sufficient folic acid in the body can prevent the production of homocysteine, which will lower the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
(2) Folic acid deficiency of pregnant women will damage the key parts of the baby's spine and cause malformation of the baby's neural tube, which will lead to death or deformity of the baby. Therefore, it is essential for the pregnant women to supplement an appropriate amount of folic acid. The WTO suggests that each fertile woman should take 400ug folic acid each day.
(3) Folic acid deficiency for women will cause a low level of folic acid in the blood, thus the genes of the cervical cells are easily damaged by the virus, increasing the incidence of cancer. Research has shown that women having a low level of folic acid are five times more likely to get cervical cancer than those with a normal level of folic acid. It is the same case with the rectum cancer.
Folic acid is mainly extracted from such foods as green leaves vegetable, orange and tangerine, soybean, carrot, meat, corn, milk, rhizome vegetables (e.g. potato), etc. But folic acid can't endure light and heat. Most of it will be damaged when heated. Due to this factor, together with others such as malaborption, metabolic disorders, increase of excretion people have to take folic acid from other food.
· What effects do the nucleic acids in Pine Pollen have on body?
Nucleic acids are the most important components of biological cells. They fall into two kinds: ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The research of nearly 50 years shows that nucleic acids carry all the genetic information of a life. They exist in the chromosomes of nucleus, determine the biologic heredity, guide the protein synthesis, control the differentiation and growth of cells and provide cells with nutrition and energy. So it can be said that from birth to death, the whole process of the life is dominated and controlled by nucleic acids. They are the foundation of life. All the signs of aging, such as the degeneration of the skin, hair loss and graying hair, loss of physical strength, fatigue of the body, weakening of the brainpower, fall of the eyesight, are all caused by the inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis or the insufficient supply of nucleic acids, which consequently cause the discontinuous production of new cells. People should supplement nucleic acids constantly to postpone aging and stay young. Foods rich in nucleic acids are sardine, salmon, lobster, crab, living oyster, liver, marine fish and mollusk. Soybean, haricot bean, onion, yeast and other foods also contain nucleic acids and substances which can produce nucleic acids. Nucleic acids should mainly be taken from food. However more supplement is not bound to mean better. Guozhen Pine Pollen contains nucleic acid, with 48,65mg nucleic acid in each 100g of pine pollen.
· What effects does the SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) in Pine Pollen have on body?
Before we get to know SOD, we should first know about free radicals. Why will people get ill, age and die?Recent research in biological and medical field has shown that they are caused by free radicals, which are high-energy particles that ricochet wildly and damage cells. Free radicals can be produced by metabolism in the body or enters the body from outside. If the "garbage" and toxin in the blood can not be cleared away in time, they will produce free radicals. If the toxic substances from the outside enter the body through respiration or contact of skin, they will deposit to produce free radicals. Free radicals can destroy the cell membrane of the organism or even cut off the DNA chain, thereby quicken the aging of cells and reduce the immunologic function of the organism or even induce cancer. Now it is confirmed that semi-quinone free radical may cause lung cancer, lipid free radical may cause breast cancer, superoxide free radical does harm to all kinds of tissues. So free radical is called the cell-killer. Substances which can eliminate free radical are vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, coenzyme Q, glutathione, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and so on.
SOD is regarded as the most valuable substance to scavenge free radicals, inhibit cancer and aging, improve the immunity of the organism and control inflammation, etc. It was found by Mocord and Fnidovich in 1968. Superoxide dismutase is an enzyme directly involved in antioxidation process, whose components include zinc, copper, manganese and other trace elements. Pine pollen contains a large amount of antioxidant, such as vitamin E, vitamin B, β-carotene and trace elements, etc. All these can slow down peroxidization of lipid and protein in the body thereby fulfills the function of postponing aging. Regular intake of pine pollen can regain youth, eliminate the age pigment and prolong life.
Pharmacological experiment on the little white mouse has witnessed a remarkable increase of the bioactivity of the SOD in the mouse's liver and a remarkable reduction of lipofuscin in the brain, heart and liver after a month of continuous intake of the pine pollen. In 2002, the scientific research group led by Professor Zhao Lin and Bao Jianfen from General Hospital of PLA carried out the experiments in Germany on the antioxidative capability of Pine Pollen with the ten systems for evaluating antioxygen capability. Many external model experimental systems show that Pine Pollen is a potent antioxidant and can prevent inflammation and lipid peroxidization. This experiment has achieved gratifying success and is thought highly by experts both at home and abroad.?
· How does Pine Pollen improve anemia?
Anemia, one of the four most common nutrient diseases in the world, is brought out by many causes, or is a common symptom and syndrome accompanying different diseases.
There are different kinds of anemia brought out by different causes. Most of it can be improved to certain extent with the removal of the primary causes of diseases and the remedy of the primary diseases. Many kinds of anemia can be remedied and some of them can be prevented according to the causes, such as nutrient anemia and iron-deficiency anemia. Pine pollen can increase hematogenous materials by providing balanced hematogenous substance such as iron, copper, magnesium, potassium, vitamin B, the folic acid and regulating the absorption of iron through copper. The anemia can be improved by supplementing balanced nutrients in pine pollen.
· Why can Pine Pollen alleviate constipation?
All the metabolic byproducts (containing a lot of toxicants) are excreted from the body through three systems (skin, urinary system and digestive system). Food residue produced after the nutrients are absorbed exits the body through the anus after moving all the way through the intestines, which zigzag in the abdominal cavity with a length of 7 people's height. During this process, feces are usually not execreted smoothly with its great adhesiveness and will constantly produce harmful waste. If feces are not excreted from the body in time, they will be reabsorbed by intestines, causing great harm to health. In clinical practice, constipation means the infrequent passage of stool (<3 times weekly) or difficulty in defecation, with straining or discomfort. 10
· CanPine Pollen help lose weight?
Pine Pollen can provide well-balanced nutrients with low energy, high mineral, and natural edible fiber in nutrition control.
Weight losing is a complicated matter and systematic project that can only be successfully treated with scientific approaches earnestly and persistently.
· Why is Pine Pollen called natural beauty product?
Skin health is closely connected with visceral functions, especially the digestive function, endocrine function and immune function. 90
· How does Pine Pollen help fight cell-damaging free radicals and postpone aging?
Free radicals are a series of radicals with distinct chemical properties that can cause reduced pathological changes of cellular structure and functions, accelerate the oxidation of lipid and protein, which produce lipofuscin, cause protein denaturalization, inactivate enzyme and hormone and weaken immunity. This will harm the body's structure and function directly and indirectly and finally lead to metabolic maladjustment and the body's decline.
Age pigment is an outward sign of destruction within the body caused by excessive free radicals, indicating the presence of aging. Free radicals are produced during breath, metabolism and consumption of oxygen. In fact, age pigment exists not only in the skin surface, but also in the tissues such as brain, heart and liver, which can accelerate the aging of histocyte and tissue immunity.
Pine pollen with rich trace elements such as vitamin C, vitamin E, β-carotene and selenium can scavenge the active oxygen free radicals and their byproducts and enhance the activity of the anti-oxidative enzymes such as SOD, inhibit lipid peroxidation, thus delay aging by delaying cellular aging, removing age pigment and preventing cell carcinomas and preventing and treating arteriosclerosis.
· What attention should be taken when takingPine Pollen?
(1) Healthy people and sub-healthy people can take the healthcare dose 3 times each day with 3 pills each time. Sub-healthy people with obvious symptoms can increase the dose accordingly to 3 times a day with 4-6 pills each time and adjust the dose after the improvement of the symptom.
<
(2) As for the sick, the serving should vary from person to person. You should find out the suitable dosage in the beginning with a small amount and increasing it gradually with appropriate regulations following daily observation. The original medical therapy for the sick should not be changed and delayed.
(3) No food or medicine is forbidden.Generally take half an hour before meals effects better, because taking it on an empty stomach allows more rapid ingress of the active nourishing ingredients into the small intestine where they are absorbed. For the obese, taking pine pollen before meals can help them feel full and help reduce their food intake, yet for those with stomach disorder, taking after meals can help promote digestion. Each person can adjust the administration time according to his/her own condition.
(4) The intake water temperature should be under 40
· Does Pine Pollen contraindicate its use with certain food or drug?
Pine pollen does not contraindicate its use with any food or drug. However, it is recommended to take pine pollen at least half an hour before or after taking a drug, so that the nourishing ingredients in pine pollen can be fully absorbed and its healthcare function can be best released.

· What is Fruccto Oligosacharide (FOS)?
FOS is extraced from fruit and vegetables. You may be more familiar with its common name of fructose. It has been a very popular dietary supplement for many years and now becomes increasingly popular in Western cultures for its prebiotic effects. FOS serves as a substrate for microflora in the large intestine, increasing the overall gastrointestinal tract (GI Tract) health. It has also been touted as a supplement for preventing yeast infections.
Several studies have found that FOS and inulin promote calcium absorption in both the animal and human gut.The intestinal microflora in the lower gut can ferment FOS, which results in a reduced pH. Calcium is more soluble in acid and therefore more of it comes out of food and is available to move from the gut into the bloodstream. FOS can be considered a small dietary fiber with (like all fibres) low caloric value. The fermentation of FOS results in the production of gasses and acids. The latter provide some energy to the body.
· FOS (Fruccto Oligosacharide) for diabetics?
The use of fructose in Guozhen Pine Pollen products is in a moderate amount using as only a sweetener. It might be good news for those who have type 2 diabetes as inulin in particular has no effect at all on blood sugar.
"Short- term studies have nowshown that substitution of fructose for sucrose in the diets of individualswith diabetes improves glycemic control and does not appear to havesubstantial side effects. In balanced diets, reasonable amounts of fructosesupplementation do not affect lipoprotein metabolism or result ingastrointestinal symptoms. Long- term studies are still needed to ascertainthat long-term fructose supplementation has a sustained beneficial effectin diabetes and is devoid of deleterious side effects.
· FOS (Fruccto Oligosacharide) for triglyceride?
Several scientific studies so far have shown that in people with raised triglyceride levels (either through pre-diabetes or full-blown Type 2 diabetes), taking inulin supplementation at a rate of 10g a day for 8 weeks lowered their triglyceride levels and got their fasting blood sugar levels down significantly and also lowered insulin concentration
Heart& Circulatory Health - Pine Pollen
♦ Pine Pollen
Health Benefits
The circulatory system is a closed duct system. It can be classified into the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system based on different components of liquid in the duct. The cardiovascular system is composed of the heart, artery, veins and capillary vessels, in which the blood flows. The lymphatic system is composed of the lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes and lymph organs, in which lymph fluid flows, which finally flows into the veins. Through blood circulation, the body carries nutrients assimilated in the intestinal tract and oxygen inhaled from the lungs to all tissues, and discharge carbon dioxide and wastes produced in the process of metabolism via lungs, kidneys and the skin. In addition, the circulatory system conveys hormones secreted from the endocrine system to all organs so as to regulate metabolism and other physiological functions. Lymph nodes and lymph organs can produce lymph cells and antibodies, filter foreign substances and phagocytize bacteria, so they are important protective organs. Pine pollen has the following functions on the circulatory system:
1. Lowering blood fat
Coronary heart disease induced by high blood fat is one of the major diseases threatening health. More than 20% of middle-aged brainworkers suffer from the hyperlipemia in China. According to analysts, the incidence and development of coronary heart disease has become more dangerous with the increasing content of blood fat. Therefore lowering blood fat is an effective measure to prevent and cure cardiovascular diseases.
Coronary heart disease is a disease caused by myocardial ischemia and injury due to the spasm or narrowness of the coronary artery
Blood Sugar Control - Pine Pollen

Health Benefits On Products
Blood sugar level measure how well your body processes sugar (glucose). Blood sugar level is used to diagnose prediabetes or diabetes.
Diabetes is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, which is a chronic progressive endocrinopathy featuring an increased level of blood sugar. This is due to either an absolute or relative lack of insulin. According to the survey by the WHO, diabetes, cancer and coronary heart disease are all related to life styles. Thus dietetic treatment plays a major role in treating diabetes, supported by sport and medical treatment.
As proved by clinical practice, pollen is not only the best nutrient food but also has a good curative effect on diabetes. Many diabetes medicines, whether developed by foreign or Chinese, have the component of pollen. According to the study of modern medical science, the mechanism behind pollen's treatment on diabetes is as follows:
Vitamin B6 in the pollen is able to protect β cells in the pancreas. Modern research shows that the main reason for the lack of insulin lies in the malfunction or destruction of β cells. The destruction of β cells is caused by nutrient imbalance. The body can assimilate a limited part of tryptophan contained in food rich in protein like meat. To transform into a substance beneficial for the body, surplus tryptophan has to be controlled by vitamin B6. In case of insufficient vitamin B6, surplus tryptophan will automatically transform into the xanthurenic acid. When the xanthurenic acid accumulates to a certain amount in the body, it will destroy β cells in the pancreas to such an extent that the cells lose the function of secreting insulin, thus diabetes is caused. Eating more pollen can provide enough vitamin B6 so as to control surplus tryptophan due to eating meat and fish and prevent them from transforming into xanthurenic acid. Thus β cells in the pancreas will not be destroyed, and they will regain the ability to secrete insulin gradually, leading to the gradual recovery of diabetes.
Abundant microelements and macroelements also have good results on diabetes patients. As revealed by clinical research, chrome, zinc, manganese and ferro and macroelements like magnesium calcium and phosphor have special affinity with diabetes. More chrome can invigorate insulin and improve sugar tolerance. Calcium is able to impact the secretion and release of insulin. Lower content of phosphor may cause the abnormal integration of insulin on the cell membrane. Zinc is able to maintain the structure and function of insulin, while magnesium participates in the functional regulation of β cells and improve metabolism.
Clinical tests on diabetes patients indicate a universal lack of zinc, calcium and magnesium. Pollen contains rich microelements like ferro, copper, zinc, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, etc. besides calcium, phosphor, potassium, sodium and magnesium.
Pollen has a high content of cellulose, with the content of single lignin reaching 25.9%. Recent years have witnessed improvement in the study of cellulose-rich food treatment on diabetes patients.
The largest threats to diabetes patients are cardiovascular complicating diseases, kidney diseases, nerve disorder, cataract, skin diseases, etc. The reason why diabetes is vulnerable to so many complicating diseases is that the lack of insulin in the body hampers normal carbohydrate metabolism, thus the body can not obtain required energy. Under such circumstances, the body can only transform fat and protein reserve into energy to meet the needs of the body. However the transformation can't be achieved smoothly without the assistance of potassium. Thus potassium is consumed in a large amount. Because the content of potassium in the body is limited, considerable consumption leads to the lack of potassium and consequently complicating diseases. For example, it may cause the burst of glomerule and kidney diseases; poor kidney filtering causes hypertension and more burden on the heart, and consequently diseases of the circulatory system; and more seriously, the lack of potassium may disable the transformation of fat and protein into energy and the body does not have enough energy to maintain body temperature, with body temperature lowering unconsciously and thus causing coma and even endangering life. Pine pollen is rich in potassium, with the content of 128.3 mg potassium per 100g. Taking pine pollen can provide enough potassium and thus prevent the occurrence of complicating diseases of diabetes and is conducive to the recovery of diabetes patients.
So far, researches have proved that taking pollen is a safe and effective dietary treatment. It is noticeable that original medicine treatment should not be stopped at the beginning of taking pollen. Under the guidance of doctors, patients should gradually reduce medicine-taking amount as they take pollen.

Immune Support - Pine Pollen
♦ Pine Pollen
Health Benefits On Products
The body's immune system consists of immune organs and cells and is the body's defense barrier and protects the body from invasion of bacterium, virus, and cancer cells. Its composition is as follows:
1. Anti-tumor
According to the statistics of tumor etiology, the incidence of tumors increases with age. Ages between 20 and 60 witness frequent tumor morbidity, which increases by 2-7 times at every 10-year interval. Immunologists consider that immune organs and functions gradually decline with age, which mostly explains the relationship between aging and tumor morbidity. Environmental pollution, dietary structure and mental state, etc. also have an impact on the body's immune function. According to related studies, the incidence of most tumors has a long-term latent period, 10-30 years. Thus scientists hold that such a long latent period provides people with sufficient opportunities to prevent cancers.
Tlymphocytes and macrophages in the blood can effectively kill bacteria, viruses and cancer cells. They are produced by bone marrow. Dysfunction of hematopoiesis or the lack of thymus gland function will reduce Tlymphocytes and macrophages, thus lowering the body's immune functions. Therefore the marrow's hematopoiesis function and the function of the thymus gland, the number of T lymphocytes and macrophages in the blood are indicators measuring the immune function of the body. Some special substances in pollen like amino acid, microelements, vitamins and nucleic acid can enhance and improve cells' oxidation reduction ability, and play a role in consolidating cell immune function and enhancing macrophages' phagocytosis. β carotene in pollen can eliminate free radicals in the body. Too many free radicals will cause gene mutation, which is the basis of the pathological process of cancer cells. β carotene can also be degraded into vitamin A (retinal, retinene and isotretinoin) by the intestinal wall or the liver with dioxygenase. Research on the anti-cancer function of retinoic acid has been widely made. Its major function lies in protecting normal cell membrane and preventing entry of cancerogenous substances. Isotretinoin is an ideal source of nutrients for patients suffering lowered immune function and chronic consumptions.
Pollen's anti-tumor function has raised a wide concern. It inhibits tumors but will not kill normal cells, while clinically applied chemical medicines kill both, often leading to declining physical state in the process of treatment. Therefore pollen is also a supporting medicine in radiotherapy and chemotherapy, boasting a reputation of 'guard against tumors'.
2. Nourishing the brain and benefiting intellectual power
Modern research reveals that human cerebrum is 1,400 g in weight, with about 14 billion brain cells. After 20 years old, about 100,000 brain cells will die every day. By the age of 60, the number of brain cells will have been reduced by one tenth of the number at 20 years old. Elderly people's memory and thinking ability deteriorate obviously, which shows the decline and aging of the cerebrum. At present, nearly 4 million elderly persons suffer from dementia of different degrees. Clinical practice demonstrates that pollen can not only invigorate the brain and promote intellectual power but also treat the decline of memory and dementia.
As discovered by scientists, the decline of memory and lower intellectual power are directly related to malnourishment. Pollen's function in nourishing the brain is based on the fact that it contains more than 200 nutrient ingredients. Being the essence of plants, the abundant ingredients are full of vitality and balance, recognized as 'the best of natural food' by the nutritionist circle. Pollen has the following nutrient ingredients that can invigorate the brain and benefit intellectual power.
(1) Protein and amino acid. Protein is the major component of transmission medium that communicates to nerve cells. Thus an ample protein supply is necessary for invigorating the brain and increasing intellectual power, and especially the growth of brain cells needs special protein. Waterman, a scholar from the US, pointed out that protein components-tyrosine, phenylalanine, leucine, tryptophan and valine are especially important to brain activity. The enhancement of the function of certain nerve cells in the brain is conducive for nervous excitation conduction and bring the function of memory and thinking into better play. It explained why A.Kaya had so many ideas in such a short period of time that he could not record them after he kept taking pollen. Pollen contains rich and sufficient protein and amino acid. Pollen contains almost all the amino acids that human beings have discovered so far, and most of them exist in the free form, which means that they can be directly assimilated by the body.
(2) Fat. Fat accounts for 60% to 65% of the cerebrum. Unsaturated fatty acid, phospholipids and cholesterol are key substances of brain cells and nerve tissue, and play a significant role in the growth of the cerebrum and the whole nerve system. Unsaturated fatty acid envelopes parts of the nerve fiber, enabling signal communication among cells. Sufficient unsaturated fatty acid guarantees normal communication of the signals, which is the basis of the intellectual power. Pollen is a kind of food featuring high protein and low fat content, most of which is unsaturated fatty acid.
(3) Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates supply most of the energy for the cerebrum. Only carbohydrates can pass through the blood-brain barrier, enter brain tissue, and be utilized by brain cells. The cerebrum only accounts for 1/40~1/50 of the body's weight, but consumes 1/5 of the energy consumption of the whole body. Every day the cerebrum consumes 100~200g of carbohydrates to maintain thinking activity, of which 85% is glucose. The higher concentration of glucose in the blood means that the cerebrum can obtain more 'fuel', thus memory function can be improved. Carbohydrates in pollen mostly exist in the form of monosaccharide and glucose, which can be directly assimilated by the body.
(4) Vitamins. All kinds of vitamins have an impact on intellectual power, especially vitamins B, most of which are related to the growth of nerve cells. The lack of vitamin B6 will result in the decline of nerve cells and weaken their function. The lack of vitamin B1 will lead to the dysfunction of the nerve system and non-concentration of attention. Choline can help nerve to communicate information. With the transmission substance, human beings can maintain perception and memory. Vitamin C, vitamin D and vitamin E are also related to intellectual power. Vitamin C is an important component of neurotransmission medium, having the function of promoting brain activity and greatly related to enhance IQ. As shown by tests, increasing vitamin C concentration in the blood by 50% will upgrade IQ by 3.6%. Vitamin D has the function of preventing brain cells from aging. Pollen is just a natural concentrate of multiple vitamins.
(5) Trace elements. Many trace elements are related to intellectual power. The lack of zinc will lower intellectual power; the lack of ferro will hamper brain activity and thus affect recognition ability and behavior discerning and language ability; the lack of copper will make persons obtuse and the lack of magnesium will affect the immune cells' function, growth and distribution. Dr. Zaloc of the US said: 'The problem is that most people are on the verge of insufficient magnesium intake, thus they cannot obtain the best immune effect.' All these elements can be found in pollen.
(6) Nucleic acid. It plays an important role in synthesis of protein, division and reproduction of cells and biological heritage. Especially, ribonucleic acid is significant to maintain the memory of the cerebrum, and magnesium can facilitate its entry into the brain. When ribonucleic acid in the brain increases, memory is enhanced. Pollen contains nucleic acid.
In general, promoting brain health and increasing intellectual power must be achieved through nutrient intake. All nutrients must be taken in a proper proportion. The lack of any kind of nutrients will have an impact on intellectual power. It is hard to make a comprehensive and reasonable nutrient by using artificial methods. Any brain products can't match up to pollen
Diet&Weight Control - Pine Pollen

Those taking pollen have an obvious feeling that their appetite is increased. Pollen can not only increase appetite, but also promote food digestion and absorption by the digestive system, and enhance the function of the digestive system. French pollen expert, A. Kaya said 'pollen can make scraggy patients become strong when other therapeutics are shown to be non-effective, however, even there is no need for overweight people eating pollen to be worried for pollen won't make you gain weight.' It was also proved by clinical studies that the figures of those taking pollen were adjusted and their waistline reduced greatly, and such effect is consistent to the 'losing weight after long-time use' recorded in Chinese medical literature.
ExperimentsKeeping a standard weight has become a modern health fashion. The metabolic imbalance is easily caused by the way some of the obese adopt to lose weight through reducing food, which does great harm to health in that it not only can't thoroughly eliminate the surplus fat, but also will lead to some complications. The experiment of controlling weight by taking pine pollen has been carried out by the Nutritional Physiological Research Institute of Munich Technology University. In that experiment, pine pollen was added to the semi-synthesized feed and equivalent trace elements and energy were added to the control group. The determination of the rats' weight and food intake showed that the weight gain of the group fed with pine pollen was 2.3~2.5 gram/each lower than that fed with equivalent trace elements and energy and a lower food transfer rate. In addition, the experiment shows pine pollen's great safety to the growing rats without any simulative effect
Anti-fatigue - Pine Pollen
♦ Pine Pollen
Fatigue has become a symbolic symptom of social civilization in modern society with fast development and quick tempo. Fatigue is a protective signal of health. The transfer from fatigue to illness must go through a certain process in which fatigue accumulates gradually before it finally turns into illness. Experiments have proved that pine pollen can eliminate fatigue completely by improving physical strength and energy.
Experiment 1: Female mice weighting 15-17g were selected, matched according to their weight and grouped randomly. The experiment was carried out in two batches: one with 20g/kg of pine pollen and 20ml/kg of pine pollen extract, the other with 15g/kg of pine pollen and 15ml/kg of pine pollen extract. Pine pollen and its extract were mixed and given with a small amount of feed every day before common food was given to the mice. The experiment continued for 30 days in order to test each group's anti-fatigue capacity.

Mankind has been dreaming of and pursuing health and longevity. According to the medical circle, one's life is closely related to factors such as heredity, nutrition, health, living environment, society, and so forth. Pine pollen's anti-aging and prolonging longevity effect has been confirmed by aging research and clinical practice of pine pollen. The mechanism of pine pollen's anti-aging effect lies in that it can increase the amount of mitochondria dominating cell's breath by improving cells' activity in the body and maintaining their vitality and prevent lipid desposition in the arterial wall and consequently prevent atherosclerosis. When the amount of superoxide dismutase in red cells increases, the content of oxidative lipid will decrease, which will consequently weaken the formation of lipofuscin in the animal's body (cardiac muscle, liver and brain). The body's anti-oxidation capacity will be improved remarkably when determined with superoxide dismutase's activity and lipid content after pine pollen is taken.
In this experiment, 60 mice with 60 days' life are divided into three groups with 20 in each group, half males and half females. Give gastrogavage to the mice of the first group and the second group with pine pollen of 300 mg/kg and 600 mg/kg every day. The experiment continues for a month and the result shows: the mice taking pine pollen have higher superoxide dismutase activity than the control group (See Figure 1).
Digestion Health - Pine Pollen

The digestive system is composed of the digestive tract and digestive gland. The digestive tract is a long flexuous tract from the oral cavity to the anus, and the digestive gland is a gland that secretes digestive juices. Digestion and absorption are two important functions for the body to acquire energy and maintain life. Among them, the digestive system is to digest and decompose the food in the body, and further absorb and process the foods and then make them become the substances of the body, which can be used by the tissues of the whole body, and to expel the unabsorbed and non-nutrients. Therefore, the digestive system is crucial for the nutrients absorption of the body. After sporoderm-breaking, pine pollen becomes superfine powder releasing all its nutrient components, which are reflected through the following aspects:
1. Liver Preservation and Protection
The liver is the centrum of substance metabolism, which almost participates in all the metabolic processes. The four main functions of the liver are as follows:
(1) Carbohydrate metabolism. The liver is an important organ to keep blood sugar steady. When blood sugar content rises after meals, many hepatic glycogens will be formed with the participation of insulin depending on which blood sugar content will reduce; if on an empty stomach, hepatic glycogens will be transferred to glucose and enter blood and blood sugar content will rise. If carbohydrates are insufficient in the body and hepatic glycogen storage reduces, the liver can make some non-carbohydrate-like protein, fat and lactic acid to be transferred to glycogens through gluconeogenesis.
(2) Lipid metabolism. The liver can secrete bile, which holds strong emulsifying ability so that fat can be decomposed and digested easily. Moreover, the liver is also the main place where phospholipid and cholesterol are synthesized.
(3) Protein metabolism. Apart from synthesizing the protein needs by itself, the liver can also synthesize most of the plasma proteins.
(4) Vitamin metabolism. The liver is the storage site for vitamin A and K, etc. and bile is essential to the absorption of lipid soluble vitamins, and many vitamins participate in synthesizing some coenzymes in the liver.
Thus, to compare the liver to the body's 'chemical plant' is very vivid. The liver is the biggest organ for detoxification. Modern people suffer from pollution all the time, and there are three pollution sources: the first is biotic pollution, which mainly includes bacteria and virus pollutions. The second is chemical pollution, which mainly originates from polluted food because of various pollution routes. For instance, using substandard packaging materials, containers and additives, and toxic substances in industrial waste water and exhaust gases discharged into rivers and the atmosphere are absorbed by fish and then create more serious food pollution as they climb the food chain. The third is radioactive pollution, which is mainly caused by the food that can absorb external radioactive species. The radioactive sickness caused by diet has a long latent period and often takes the form of tumors. The liver is the most important organ for dealing with the above conditions, thus people also compare the liver to the body's 'plant for detoxification'.
The veins and arteries of the liver start from the body's feet, pass the urinary system, genitalia, intestines, liver, gallbladder, spleen, heart, lungs, breast, thyroid gland, ears and then head, and finally to eyes, almost passing all the important organs of the body. Therefore, many familiar diseases can be closely associated with the liver.
There is no specific medicine to hepatitis B, but dietotherapy has been known to be an effective method. Diet regulation and reasonable nutrients are important to taking good care of the liver. Pine pollen's protection effect on the liver is reflected in many aspects: monosaccharide in pine pollen is helpful for synthesizing hepatic glycogens, and incretions and enzymes have positive effects on protein synthesis and metabolism. Proteins are decomposed to amino acid, 20% of which will come into flood directly for tissue needs, and most will stay in the liver to be re-synthesized. If hepatic protein is insufficient, fat is stored in the liver and then become hepatic lipidosis or hepatic lipidosis will become hepatic cirrhosis. Pollen is rich in proteins and amino acids. Hepatic function recovery needs food with balanced amino acid. Furthermore, vitamin B and microelements such as copper, zinc and magnesium etc. in pollen participate in forming many hepatic enzymes, and have an effect on activating enzymes, then promotes the regeneration and restoration of hepatic cells and promotes the secretion of bile. Therefore, pollen is the best nutrient for taking good care of the liver.
2. Adjusting the Functions of Gastrointestinal Tract
Pine pollen adjusts the functions of the gastrointestinal tract based on its natural and nutrient properties; in particular it has special curative effect on gastrointestinal functional turbulence. Pine pollen is rich in vitamin B1 i.e. thiamin, which is the main component of decarboxylase coenzyme. Decarboxylase coenzyme is a kind of important substance for adjusting carbohydrate metabolism, vitamin B1 can promote peristalsis, enhance digestive function, and normalize the secretion of gastric juices, and activate intestine function. It can also alleviate intractable diarrhea, enteritis and coliform infections caused by the free propagation of the dangerous enteric pathogenic bacteria and microbes without affecting the normal enteric bacteria. Pollen can annihilate deleterious microbes or make them dormant so as to be helpful for the rapid propagation of wholesome microbes. Therefore, amazing results will occur after the first few days of taking pollen in normal diet, and thus pollen is called as 'the enteric guard'.
3. Habitual Constipation Treatment
The food fibers in pollen have significant effect on enteric decontamination. When pollen promotes peristalsis, the food fibers will bring various foreign materials and toxins out of the body so as to create a good effect on enteric decontamination. Therefore, the food fibers are called 'enteric cleaner'. Habitual constipation is a pathogenic potential factor for the middle-aged and the old, especially for heart disease and cerebrovascular diseases patients, who often come across sudden conditions because of straining to defecate. Thus, to treat constipation is very important for keeping fit and preventing cerebrovascular events. The treating effect of pollen on constipation is very good and continuous, and hardly affected by gender, age and constipation history.
4. Preventing colon cancer
Pollen contains a large amount of dietary fiber, which is not only able to 'clean' the intestinal canal but also shorten the time when feces stays in the colon, dilute the concentration of poisonous substances, regulate and change the metabolism of the colon and enhance its tension and activity, thus being conducive to prevent colon cancer. Pollen's impact on the digestive system is direct and obvious. Food is primary for life. To maintain subsistence, human beings take a large amount of nutrients from food every day. The state of the stomach and intestines directly impacts and determines nutrient assimilation. From physiological perspective, viscera functions begin to decline after middle ages. Therefore keeping the stomach and intestines in a normal state is necessary for digesting and assimilating various nutrients taken by the body. It is the embodiment of pollen's function.
Experiments
The liver is the body's chemical plant. After food enters the digestive tract, starch and polysaccharides with the effect of digestive enzyme are decomposed into glucose in blood before they are absorbed by cell histiocyte, while the surplus glucose will be stored in after it is synthesized into glycogen. When needed, glycogen can be released into blood after being decomposed into glucose for the tissues' use.
