The pollen is all manually collected from a unique flower source, which ensures its pure quality, stable composition, absence of pesticide residues and animal hormones. So it is a type of purely natural health food.
*Whole nutrition
In a co-research by Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, China PLA General Hospital, and Institute of Nutritional Physiology (European Research Center of Microelement Metabolism), Technology University of Munich, Germany, it is proved: pine pollen contains all the nutrition necessary to a most long-lived life, including various proteins, nearly 20 amino acids, over 30 minerals and microelements, 14 vitamins, nearly 100 enzymes and coenzymes necessary to the body, and more than 200 other nutrients such as nucleic acids, monosaccharides, polysaccharides, cellulose, unsaturated fatty acids and flavonoids.
Furthermore, pine pollen contains all the 8 essential amino acids, namely, threonine THR, valine VAL, methionine MET, isoleucine ILE, leucine LEU, phenylalanine PHE, lysine IYS, and tryptophan TRP, with the proportion of each content being mostly consistent with the standard established by WHO. Pine pollen is regarded as a “whole nutriment” in Europe, a “source of health and beauty” in Japan, and a “natural miniature nutritional reservoir” in China.
*Fully bioactive
Every grain of pine pollen is a biologically active entity. Proven by scientific research, in the first 48 hours after the fertilization of the pistil of pine pollen, the size of the embryo would expand into 100,000 times larger. This indicates that all the nutrients are bioactive. By utilizing the low-temperature sporoderm-breaking technology which is derived from the spaceflight industry, the sporoderm breaking rate of pine pollen is as high as 99%. Therefore the nutrients and bioactive material of pine pollen can be fully released and more easily absorbed by the body.

Origin of Pine Pollen:
The principal raw materials of Guozhen Pine Pollen and Bamboo Leaf Essence serial products all come from China.Guozhen Pine Pollen is processed from pollens of Chinese Pinus Massoniana Lamb. and Pinus Tabulaeformis Carr. 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 in the south, southeast coastline and Taiwan in the east, and central parts of Guizhou and Sichuan in the west, covering 17 provinces (autonomous regions)
The raw materials of Guozhen 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.
What nutritious ingredients are contained in Guozhen Pine Pollen?
In early 1990s, Professor Zhao Lin from the General Hospital of PLA of China, together with the experts from Physiological Nutrient Research Institute of Munich University, did research on the nutritious components as well as the functions of Guozhen 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.
What effects does the amino acid in Guozhen Pine Pollen have on the 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 fibrins in Guozhen Pine Pollen have on the 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 overall effects does Guozhen Pine Pollen have on the body' physiological functions?
(1) Regulating the digestive system: strengthening the digestive function, increasing appetite and eliminating constipation. The enzyme and cellulose fiber in pine pollen can increase appetite and improve digestion with natural lactic acid produced by accelerating gastrointestinal vermiculation. Vitamin B is an ideal appetizer for its helpfulness for food digestion and absorption through accelerating the normal secretion of gastric juice. Many nutrients and essential amino acids in pine pollen can accelerate the growth of liver cells by enhancing detoxifications.
(2) Regulating blood circulatory system. The synergistic effect of vitamin C, vitamin E and mineral element such as selenium, magnesium, zinc and potassium can increase the blood vessel wall's flexibility, prevent arteriosclerosis and improve microcirculation. On the other hand, rutin can strengthen the blood vessel walls, maintain the normal blood pressure and prevent blood vessel bleeding; mineral elements such as Cu, Fe, K, Mg, vitamin B group and folic acid are very helpful for the prevention of anemia.
(3) Regulating the endocrine system. That Pollen has a therapeutic effect on prostate disease has been confirmed worldwide by clinical medical science. Many medications contain pollen (rape pollen). The synergistic effect of amino acids, mineral elements and flavonoids promotes metabolism, enhances the regulating capacity of the body on endocrine gland, improves prostate blood circulation and reduces dropsy and urethral obtrusion, having a preventative and auxiliary therapeutic effect for the enlarged prostate.
(4) Regulating the nervous system. Pollen pine has a very good regulating effect on neuropathic headache, insomnia and emotional fluctuation. The amino acids, vitamins, especially vitamin B and trace elements in pine pollen can improve the state of the nervous system, alleviating the neurasthenic symptoms like insomnia, headache by providing nutrients for the nervous system.
(5) Regulating unidentified functional diseases. Pine pollen has a regulating effect on exhaustion syndrome menopause syndrome, aging syndrome, etc. Many functional diseases in the body are closely connected with balance maladjustment, especially for the elderly; however, the rich nutrients and active components in pine pollen can enhance the regulating capacity of the body and relieve discomfort by improving the balance of many nutrients, amino acid, and acid and alkali.
(6) Regulating the body's immunity. As an organic whole, the body is comprised of organs, working under complicated rules of life movement The major treasure is its self-curing capacity. Many nutrients in pine pollen can promote the balance among elements in the body to improve its self-treatment capacity. As some experts describe, "diseases are caused by the damage of physiological organic functions with abundant toxin due to an unbalanced diet and medicine abuse." The rich nutrients in pine pollen can bring health to the body by promoting the balance in the body and strengthen the self treatment capacity of the body.
The healthcare effect of pine pollen is immune regulating. When the body's immunity is strengthened, human beings' capacity of self-cureing, self-recovery and self-rehabilitation will improve accordingly. With a good resistance against diseases, people are less likely to fall ill and are more likely to recover from illness. With an energetic body, people are less likely to feel weary.
(7) Promoting regular metabolism of the body. Modern people attach great importance to health care whose basic principle is to maintain the regular metabolism of the body. It works with observance of certain rules under precise control. On the one hand, it synthesizes substance that the body needs and provides energy that life activity needs and on the other hand, decomposes its own substance, eliminates waste and constantly gets rid of the stale and take in the fresh. When metabolism works well, people can live healthily and normally; however, when there is something wrong with some of its links, diseases will appear. The process of metabolism is the process of growth, development, decrepitude and death. The irregularity of the metabolism is often closely connected with the lack and/or imbalance of nutrient.
Pine pollen maintains the metabolism of substance in the body with well-balanced nutrients and natural active substance. In addition, the enzymes and fibers in pine pollen also help the decomposition and absorption of food, which can keep the body in good conditions by eliminating the toxin in the body under regular evacuation with enough water. The healthcare effect of pine pollen is not decided by a single nutrient with a low absolute content, but by the synergistic effect of many nutrients with a balanced and comprehensive regulation of the body, which is difficult to realize in a lot of food and medicine. Therefore, Guozhen Pine Pollen is highly praised by Ms.Yu Ruomu, the famous nutritionist as "a health treasure endowed by God".
