Pine pollen?

... Supposed to enhance testosterone, have a huge amount of antioxydants, decrease inflammation, etc. etc. blah-blah-blah.

A friend who weights lifts as well told me about it, claiming to have had very good results on energy level and muscular progress.

I'm starting to get into herbs (seeing good results on general inflammation levels with propolis + bilberry + pycnogenol + gotu kola), but I obviously remain very careful, especially when it comes to supposed "testosterone boosters". The vast majority of the articles I found on the subject looked like comercial BS, but I finally stumbled into this: https://examine.com/supplements/pine-pollen/

What do you think? Did anyone ever try it?

Hey guys,

Stumbled on this lately when I was doing research about testosterone:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22577492

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22577492

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17273982

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19148883

--> That's not big fat randomized-placebo-etc. studies, but that clearly suggests that pine pollen would have its place in a big multimodal antioxydant approach (which is what I'm doing among other things; see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318593415_Rationale_of_combination_therapy_with_antioxidants_in_medical_management_of_Peyronie's_disease_Results_of_clinical_application)
