Yun Orfila, Ph.D. in Food Engineering, Department of Agriculture and Bioengineering, Purdue University, pointed out that pine pollen is the dried pollen of Pinus massoniana, Pinus tabulaeformis and other plants, and the efficacy of commercial products is often exaggerated. No different from other plants. It is mainly composed of protein, carbohydrates, minerals, phospholipids, choline and other trace components. It contains many other foods, and the content is not much different.
Although pine pollen is included in the Pharmacopoeia, it is just a common Chinese medicine. The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine listed in the Pharmacopoeia only comes from traditional medicine and has not been tested scientifically and standardized. It is said that it is impossible to cure all diseases.

Precautions:
Pine pollen was once listed as a new resource food and health food by the former Ministry of Health (now Health and Family Planning Commission). In 2004, the former Ministry of Health revised it and listed pine pollen and rape pollen as common foods. In other words, it is as common as radish and cabbage and has no special health care function.
Other pine pollen products listed in the database of health care products have different efficacy and efficacy components, and the magical efficacy advocated in marketing is even more uncertain. Health food is not a medicine, and it has no magical effect. Therefore, consumers must polish their eyes when buying. They can go to the official website, Food and Drug Administration, to check whether the product has been approved and the approved health care function. If you claim other functions when selling, it is false propaganda.
People's Network-Pine pollen is nothing special.
