Pine pollen is the dried pollen of Pinus massoniana, Pinus tabulaeformis and other plants, and its commercial efficacy is often exaggerated. 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.
As a common Chinese medicine, pine pollen is mostly used for trauma, and its function is to apply it to the skin to deal with some symptoms. 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.
In 2004, the former Ministry of Health 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.
Extended data:
Keep your eyes open and identify false propaganda.
Besides pine pollen, there are many similar products on the market now. Products represented by pine pollen are sought after by consumers, mainly because pine is a symbol of health and longevity in China culture, and pollen is often regarded as the essence of plants, which can prevent and treat all diseases, and it is easy to grasp the trust of people who are afraid of getting sick and want to prevent diseases. But in fact, health food is not a medicine, and there is no magical effect.
Therefore, consumers must polish their eyes when buying. They can go to the official website, Food and Drug Administration, to find out whether the product has been approved and what the approved health care function is. If they claim to have other functions when selling, it is false propaganda. The expression of "treating a disease without a permanent cure" is even more a concept of stealing. Neither traditional Chinese medicine nor western medicine has the expression of "conditioning the body at the cellular level" At the present level of medical technology, no medicine can cure all diseases, let alone health care products. If you are sick, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital system for treatment, and you can't trust the magical effects of health care products.
