This Tree Contains Testosterone! 

I have a very small batch of Pine Pollen tinctures that will ship later this week: sonofabear.net/shop

Mordecai, your survival knowledge never ceases to amaze me ☺

Keep doing what you're doing, man. As someone who loves plant biology, I find your channel facinating and useful😊

I have to share this info with my transmasc friends! Thanks for sharing ❤

free hrt, i see this as a win

How much does is actually influence testosterone levels? Like does it just boost natural T a little or does it cause any actual noticeable difference in testosterone levels?

Cool info, but.. Oral ingestion of androgenic hormones has no effect on blood saturation due to nonuniform absorption, and the potential for hepatotoxicity when methylated to bypass the first pass effect - via the portal vein to the liver. One would be better off, taking adequate amounts of the nutrients required to produce testosterone, such as zinc, magnesium, vitamin D3, B6, B12 and supplementing with herbs containing compounds known to manipulate the release of free testosterone. As well as consuming the raw material for its production, such as cholesterol, DHA, EPA. And maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.

Pine pollen had been used for additive ingredient of sweets in east asia. Of course pollen itself is far from being sweet, it was added with honey and shaped like a biscuit.

Testosterone taken orally isn't bio available. Just saying.

Micrograms btw.

In New Hampshire this late spring, we saw huge clouds of greenish yellow pollen from the white pines!

I gathered this every year

You are amazing thank you ❤

Very interesting! I’m pretty T’d up.. still great content!

I don't know off the top of my head if this is actually correct, it seems pretty suspect from everything I know about botany but not impossible. What I DO know is that it is 100% NOT a good idea for an average man to just start ingesting testosterone in ANY form. Your body has systems that control your serum testosterone levels. Those systems tell your body when levels are too low and increase production. If you add testosterone from an outside source your body will notice and STOP producing testosterone to match so your usable testosterone levels will remain consistent UNLESS you take so much testosterone that you completely replace natural production then exceed it. There are also serious long term ramifications where the supplimental testosterone triggers your body to lower natural production and it DOES NOT immediately return once the T is no longer being supplimented. This is why they are incredibly careful about putting men on TRT and do so only after exhausting all other treatment options, and once they go on you should NEVER come off because its unlikely your usable testosterone will ever rebound fully. Thats doubly true for men over the age of about 34. Instead (and i know its less fun, and not an easy no effort solution) you should increase physical activity, specifically weight training and resistance training but NOT cardio because that actually decreses testosterone production. You should get 8 hours of sleep every night on a consistent schedule, and get lots of sunlight. All these things cause your body to call for the production of more testosterone, and if done consistently that increase in production will be somewhat permanent. Thats why when guys that work out a lot stop working out due to an injury or something they are still larger than men who never worked out. Because their body is used to needing that extra test and thinks it will need it again eventually.

I cannot find a good abstract for Saden-Kruda etc al, 1971

Oh- PJW will _looove_ this!

Thanks, Mordecai

Today I learned... thanks

I didn’t know that! I’m going to start doing this!

Chills???

As a trans masc person i'll take this into consideration! :D

Can you just mix the pollen into a drink instead of a tincture?

Oh he hard

Any trees that contain estrogen? Its for scientific research t😉

❤❤❤

these trees grow supplement stacks wtf

Alcohol and testosterone boosting 😂😂😂😂 I'm in, lol.

Wait… if it’s pollen with testosterone does that mean it’s LITERALLY tree nutt? That’s kinda zesty bro ngl, I love nature, but not enough to drink spruce Ambatukam. Still a great video regardless though even though I’m not gonna follow along at home, keep up the great work!

Great info, but you need to WARN people to the possibility of tree allergies.

Is there a way to test for specific tree allergies?
