How much testosterone is in Pine Pollen?

It’s estimated that 10 grams of pine pollen contains 0.8 micrograms of testosterone.

Thats 800 nanograms. That’s for the powder not the concentrated tincture.

Lets makes a guess that a dose of pine pollen tincture has 8000 nanograms. That seems reasonable.

Average male free testosterone is 300 to 1,000 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) of blood.

That’s one tenth of a liter so really its 3000 to 10,000 nanograms per liter & you have 7.2 liters.

So total testosterone in the blood for a 200 lb male is 21000 – 72000 nanograms.

Sublingual testosterone has a short half life possibly only four hours.

That means you will need to dose repeatedly with pine pollen tincture possibly 4x per day.

Each dose will need to be a fair amount perhaps two teaspoons absorbed under the tongue.

At that rate you may be able to get an additional 10000-20000 nanograms per day into your bloodstream.

So this is only worth it by making your own tincture. Also due to the short half life its unlikely that there will be an accumulation of testosterone over time. Its also unlikely to cause gonadal shutdown.

To be effective you will be using about a shot glass of pine pollen tincture per day.

To go into shutdown on pine pollen tincture maybe 2-3 shot glasses per day could do it over a period of time.

All of this is anecdotal. Pollen will vary in quality and testosterone levels. The extraction process will vary as will the sediment levels and strength of the tincture batches.

Certainly its worth it to buy pollen in bulk and make up large batches of tincture in multiple jars.

Its not worth it to buy small bottles of tincture and take a few small drops per day.

There is more to it though as Pine Pollen contains DHEA and a number of other androgenic substances that will enhance testosterone production by the body. Its highly likely that a shot glass per day of tincture will stimulate testosterone production in addition to the free testosterone directly introduced.
