Forest Prana Elixir Pine Pollen and Nettle Root Tincture » 4 Ounce Bottle

Pine Pollen and Nettle Root synergistically support the endocrine system in our expertly formulated Forest Prana Elixir, enriched with Zhi Zi (Cape Jasmine Fruit) and Chen Pi (Green Citrus Peel) for optimal benefit.

This elixir is meticulously crafted to amplify the pro-androgenic properties of Pine Pollen and the estrogen-balancing effects of Nettle Root. Pine Pollen provides the body with essential phyto-androgens—plant-based compounds that mimic androgens, which are crucial for male health, though beneficial for all genders. Meanwhile, Nettle Root encourages favorable testosterone-to-estrogen ratios and may elevate free active testosterone levels by inhibiting sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG).

To invigorate the endocrine system and enhance Qi flow—the vital energy that circulates within the body—we've added precise amounts of Cape Jasmine Fruit and Green Citrus Peel (Zhi Zi and Chen Pi). These ingredients harmonize and magnify the synergistic effects of Pine Pollen and Nettle Root, offering comprehensive support for hormonal balance and vitality.

With Mountain Harvest RAW Pine Pollen™, Stinging Nettle Root, Cape Jasmine Fruit, and Green Citrus Peel, this adaptogenic and tonic formula fosters long-term endocrine system function and balance, delivering optimal results with consistent use.

The Western Herbalism Perspective

The Forest Prana Elixir stands as a testament to the convergence of traditional knowledge and contemporary scientific understanding within Western herbalism. This sophisticated blend leverages the inherent properties of Pine Pollen and Nettle Root, two powerhouse botanicals revered for their adaptogenic and hormone-balancing capabilities. Western herbalism values the empirical evidence supporting these herbs' effectiveness in modulating endocrine function and promoting vitality.

Pine Pollen, rich in phyto-androgens such as testosterone, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone), and androstenedione, offers a natural means to enhance hormonal balance. These phyto-androgens are plant-derived compounds that mimic the effects of human hormones, potentially offering a natural alternative to synthetic hormone therapy. The inclusion of Pine Pollen in this elixir is reflective of Western herbalism's focus on using nature's bounty to support bodily health, especially regarding hormonal regulation and the maintenance of vitality.

Nettle Root, on the other hand, is celebrated for its ability to influence sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), thus potentially increasing the bioavailability of free testosterone. This effect is crucial for promoting a balanced hormonal environment within the body. Furthermore, Nettle Root's role in supporting prostate health aligns with Western herbalism's goal of addressing specific health concerns through targeted herbal interventions. The evidence-based approach of Western herbalism underscores the importance of these herbs in supporting physiological health and well-being, demonstrating a commitment to harnessing the power of natural substances in a deliberate and informed manner.

The Classical and Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective

From the perspective of Classical and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Forest Prana Elixir is a harmonious blend that transcends mere symptom treatment, aiming instead to address the root causes of imbalance within the body's energetic systems. TCM is founded on the principles of balance, harmony, and energy flow—concepts embodied in the thoughtful composition of this elixir.

Chen Pi (Green Citrus Peel) and Zhi Zi (Cape Jasmine Fruit) are strategically included for their ability to regulate Qi—the vital life force in TCM philosophy—and balance the body's internal elements. Chen Pi, with its aromatic and warming properties, is utilized to regulate Qi, transform dampness, and facilitate the proper movement of energy within the digestive system. This ensures the smooth circulation of Qi, preventing the stagnation that can lead to various health issues.

Zhi Zi, with its cooling properties, serves to clear heat and damp-heat, which in TCM terms, are conditions often associated with inflammation, irritability, and other health disturbances. By cooling and purifying the body's internal environment, Zhi Zi complements Chen Pi's warming and moving qualities, promoting a state of balance that is essential for health and vitality.

Pine Pollen and Nettle Root are highly valued in TCM for their nourishing and tonifying effects. Pine Pollen, in particular, is considered a powerful Jing (essence) tonic, supporting longevity, vitality, and reproductive health. Jing is a fundamental concept in TCM, representing the deepest reserves of energy in the body. Nettle Root's actions on the Kidney and Liver meridians exemplify TCM's holistic approach, targeting the underlying energetic imbalances that contribute to endocrine and hormonal issues.

A Synergy of Traditions

The synergy of these herbs, from both Western and Eastern perspectives, is what makes the Forest Prana Elixir a potent formula. It is not merely a combination of ingredients with beneficial properties but a carefully balanced concoction designed to align with the principles of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the flow of Qi. By addressing both the physical and energetic aspects of health, this elixir embodies the holistic spirit of TCM, offering a path to wellness that is rooted in ancient wisdom while also embracing the insights of modern herbalism. This approach ensures that the formula is not just treating symptoms but nurturing the body's inherent capacity for balance and self-healing, embodying the essence of preventive health and holistic care that is at the heart of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Pine Pollen and the Androgenic Hormones

Pine Pollen is a rich source of bioavailable androgenic phytosterols, plant-based hormones that closely mimic human hormones. This remarkable similarity positions Pine Pollen as a natural source of the following key phyto-androgens:

• Androstenedione;
• Testosterone;
• Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA);
• Androsterone.

These phyto-androgens contribute to Pine Pollen's efficacy in supporting bone and muscle health, enhancing metabolism, and promoting libido. Their presence underlines the adaptogenic and restorative capabilities of Pine Pollen, making it a cornerstone in natural hormone balance and vitality promotion.

Tincturing RAW Pine Pollen results in an alcohol-based suspension that effectively isolates its phyto-androgenic compounds. As such, tinctures provide a swift and efficient delivery system for these potent substances directly into the bloodstream, circumventing the digestive process. This method ensures immediate availability of the phyto-androgens to the body, maximizing their therapeutic potential.

Pine Pollen Tinctures are highly effective in capturing the comprehensive range of Pine Pollen's advantages, particularly its pro-androgenic, phyto-androgenic, and adaptogenic qualities. This specialized formulation provides a distinctive benefit for enhancing health and vitality, making it an exceptional choice for those seeking to leverage the natural efficacy of Pine Pollen in their wellness routine.

Dual-Stage Extraction Tinctures

Traditionally, tinctures use a single-stage extraction: alcohol. traditionally rely on alcohol as the primary solvent. However, no single extraction method can fully capture the diverse phytotherapeutic compounds present in medicinal plants and mushrooms. To enhance the potency and efficacy of our tinctures, we've innovated beyond conventional practices by introducing a second stage of extraction—decoction—into our process.

This dual-stage extraction technique provides two significant advantages:

1. Enhanced Potency and Breadth: Dual-stage extraction enables us to create a more potent tincture, achieving a broader and more comprehensive extraction of the active compounds than is possible with alcohol alone. This method ensures that the full therapeutic spectrum of the plant is captured, resulting in a stronger and more effective product.
2. Higher Concentration of Active Ingredients: Specifically for RAW Pine Pollen™, this approach allows us to incorporate a higher concentration of the active ingredients. By using both alcohol and decoction, we can extract more of Pine Pollen's beneficial compounds, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the tincture.

Our dual-stage extraction is one of the RAW Forest Foods differences and one of the defining characteristics of what sets our tinctures apart from others on the market. We are proud of this difference.

Sourcing and Formulation

We source the ingredients for our Forest Prana Elixir Pine Pollen and Nettle Root Tincture as close to the fields and forests as possible and process them in an FDA-registered, and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) certified domestic facility. We manufacture our products in the US in full compliance with FDA regulations.

All of our Pine Pollen—the entire Mountain Harvest Pine Pollen™ collection—comes from the same small, remote village forest, working with the same harvesters year after year.

The medicinal use of Pine Pollen dates back approximately 1500 years, and we source it via traditional methods. Our Pine Pollen is harvested by hand at Peak Potency within three days once a year and only from select, authentic  Pinus massoniana pine trees.

We are fortunate to have such a long-standing relationship with our producers, as it ensures you the highest quality Pine Pollen available.

The Stinging Nettle Root in this formula is certified organic, as found in our Nettle Root Extract Powders. Another point of pride is that organic cultivation is not merely a marketing term: it promotes environmental and worker protection, and organically cultivated crops contain higher levels of phytochemicals than conventionally grown crops.

Our Promise at RAW Forest Foods

A True Commitment to Your Wellness Journey

True transformation, especially in the realm of health and wellness, is a process that unfolds over time, requiring dedication and consistent effort. This principle holds particularly true in the realm of adaptogenic and tonic herbs, where the full spectrum of benefits from these phyto-therapeutics and myco-therapeutics unfolds through regular and sustained use.

The words 'adaptogen' and 'adaptogenic' stem from the root 'adapt', highlighting a process of gradual change and adjustment. This adaptation is a journey, not a destination, evolving over time with commitment, consistency, and patience. It is through this progressive adaptation that the most significant and enduring health benefits are realized.

In recognition of this essential process, we at RAW Forest Foods recommend a trial period of four to six weeks of daily use for any adaptogenic or tonic herb. This approach is akin to a fitness regimen, where the true transformation is observed not in the immediate aftermath of a single workout, but through sustained and regular practice.

To reinforce our commitment to your health and wellness journey, RAW Forest Foods offers an extended 60 days refund policy on all our retail products. This policy ensures you have ample opportunity to thoroughly evaluate the effectiveness of your purchase.
