Introduction
Unlike other supplements on the market, pine pollen can come in various different forms for consumption. The easiest way to consume pine pollen is with a pill, and tinctures or powdered extracts can be added to things like protein shakes and smoothies for even more convenience. Some forms of pine pollen are stronger than others, such as tinctures that are highly concentrated and extremely potent. Some brands don’t carry potent forms of pine pollen and some do, so make sure you shop around to find the best deal.
Powdered Extracts – The most potent type of pine pollen is probably the powdered extracts, where the serving size is usually a teaspoon. These extracts are extremely potent and can contain more vitamins and minerals per serving than capsules and tinctures. Although, every brand is different and this isn’t always the case so you will have to look around for yourself if you trying to find the most potent form of pine pollen.
Tinctures – Tinctures are potent but not as potent as the powdered extracts, but they can be consumed in other ways. Liquid pine pollen tinctures can be mixed in with salad dressings and sauces when you cook, so it’s a convenient way to throw some pine pollen into your diet. Great for people who are new to taking pine pollen and don’t want or necessarily need the more potent powdered extracts.
Capsules – Capsules are convenient, so this is probably the more popular choice among consumers. They aren’t always as strong, this will vary from brand to brand. Either way, capsule form is the easiest to consume and it doesn’t take any time at all to prepare, just drink it down with a drink in the morning or before bed and you’re all set.
It doesn’t matter what form of pine pollen you choose to consume, as they all provide the same benefits. When you first start taking pine pollen you might want to start with a lower dosage and work your way up as you stop noticing results from it. For beginners, we recommend you start with a capsule or tincture form, but the choice is yours!
