WILD. RAW. LIVING
Nourish your wild naturally
The Canadian Pine Pollen Company sustainably wild harvests, naturally processes and serves pine pollen from the forests of Western Canada. Hand harvested for thousands of years, pine pollen has a long history of being used for its numerous health benefits. Canadian Pine Pollen Co. has developed processes to ensure that the pine pollen you buy from us, is the exact same as the pine pollen we collect from the pine trees: wild raw and a living superfood.
Pine pollen is used in traditional Chinese medicine as a nutritive tonic, and harvested as a super food and medicine for thousands of years. Live pine pollen has over 200+ bioactive plant compounds; antioxidants, flavonoids, essential amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and best of all, bio-identical and 100% plant based androgenic hormones like DHEA and testosterone.
Each Spring, we set out on a journey to bring you our best. Our wild harvested pine pollen collection takes place across BC, with each site producing a unique batch of pine pollen. Each batch of pine pollen powder is identified by region, and cold-stored at our facility in the Lower Mainland. Our commitment to land stewardship helps in setting industry standards for sustainable wild harvest, and our natural processes of drying and extraction ensure that the pine pollen contains the full spectrum of the nutrients in this wonderful superfood.
DHEA: A precursor hormone that nourished the endocrine system.
Testosterone: An androgen essential regulation of hormonal systems, vigor, and stamina.

Not all pine pollen tinctures are made the same. Considering that pure pine pollen powder is only about 3-5% of the weight of the male pollen cones, there is a substantial difference in the concentration of a tincture depending on the starting material. A 1:6 tincture made directly from 100% pollen pollen powder is 3 times more potent than a 1:1 tincture made from the pine pollen buds! The purity, quality, and freshness of the starting material and the extraction method also makes all the difference. t Canadian pine pollen Co. we make our Pine Pollen tincture from 100% pure fresh raw pollen, not the buds. We harvest annually so you can be sure your pine pollen tincture is always fresh. We use a proprietary cold dual extract method for the pine pollen tincture to concentrate the androgens as well as the flavonoid and other water soluble antioxidants.
Pine Pollen's mild pine taste and dry texture lends itself to many recipes and drinks. 1 to 3 teaspoon mixed with elixirs, smoothies, cocktails tea or coffee gives the drink a nice creamy feel and a boost to the drink's nutritional value. Mix it in parfaits, gelato, pastry or energy bars and you got yourself a superfood snack on steroids to keep you going!

Canadian Pine Pollen comes from one of two types of pine trees, Lodgepole (yellow cones) or Ponderosa (red cones). Nutritionally the two are similar. When it comes to harvest the ponderosa pollen buds are larger and the stands further so requires more walking about in the wild. Lodgepole in contrast is more tasking on the hands to harvest and comes from higher altitude terrains.
Our team is passionate about pine pollen, from the harvest practices to the packaging, we focus on ensuring quality, sustainability and equitable trade.
