@Serotoninskeptic I use it for androgenic effect.
-
@foxgelb I see, does it make you feel more androgenic
-
@Serotoninskeptic yes definitely. One of the most powerful supplement i have tried
-
@foxgelb Nice might have to try

Worth noting...
"Pine pollen is rich in unsaturated fatty acids. However, unsaturated fatty acids are oxidized during processing. The oxidation of lipids may affect the odor of pine pollen. Different sterilization methods have different effects on lipid oxidation. In this study, we found that electron-beam sterilization is superior to ultra-high-temperature sterilization in odor preservation. Using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, volatile components were identified in electron-beam sterilization and ultra-high temperature sterilization processed pine pollen. Furthermore, the loss of vitamin C and polyphenols in the processing aggravated lipid oxidation, which made the odor of pine pollen worse. Moreover, lipid oxidase can accelerate lipid oxidation, thus affecting the odor of pine pollen, which was not conducive to the preservation of pine pollen. The results suggested that the components of unpleasant odor were identified as volatile aldehydes and volatile acids, and the odor was mainly produced by the oxidation of linoleic acid."

@Kvirion Thank you
