The answer depends on the type (what is the function) of the product and the form (capsules, powders, tinctures, and tablets) of the product.

In regard to type and function, our primary focus is on adaptogenic and tonic herbs, including Pro-Androgenic and Phyto-Androgenic herbs. These herbs (and formulas that include them) work with the body to produce substantive, beneficial changes that appear over the course of several weeks of consistent use. Consistency is paramount here. Follow the serving suggestions on the product labels and on the product pages.

To learn more about how to use the different forms of products offered, check out our guide detailing the practical, how-to use of them. This guide illustrates how to use Tinctures, how to take RAW Pollen Powders and Extract Powders, and even discusses Capsules and Tablets.

We make all of our products domestically in the US in facilities that are certified organic, FDA cGMP, and NSF certified. Ingredient sourcing happens globally and as directly as possible, visiting with the producers and wild-harvesters as we are able to. The vast majority of our ingredients are either certified organic or wild-harvested.

We believe in the power of herbs and their Phyto-Therapeutic potential and treat and respect the plants and our products as such.

We wish we could, but the reality is that we just can't. The reason is two-parted:

Firstly, recommending products is prohibited by the FDA. The FDA enacted these regulations to protect consumers, and we stand by that whole-heartedly.

Secondly, health is complex. Without an extensive intake, it would be impossible to make a recommendation for a product or program.

Our Product Guides are hand-selected collections of products based on interest and function, and are a great place to start learning.

Short answer: Yes!

Long answer: We migrated most of the detailed information about Pine Pollen out of the individual product pages and into one consolidated resource. This was done with the goal of making the information more accessible, organized, and a better learning resource.

The hub of this resource is the Pine Pollen: Extended Information page. This page acts as a table of contents, directing you to a wealth of information, including dedicated pages on the Health Benefits of Pine Pollen, The Pro-Androgenic and Adaptogenic Effects of Pine Pollen, Pine Pollen FAQs, academic studies, and—of course—more.

With the rare occurrence aside, all orders ship within one business day of when they are placed. Domestic orders ship either USPS First Class or Priority (as determined by the size of the order), and both services provide tracking details and deliver within 2 — 3 days.

Each and every day, we ship internationally and take great pride and satisfaction in knowing that our products are enjoyed all around the globe.

And don't forget: all domestic orders of $49.99 or more ship free!
