A pollen grain is microscopic in size and looks like a mickey mouse head where each of the "ears" are concave to catch the wind so it can flow to the female cones on other trees or even onto the same tree to successfully pollinate them.

Caution!

Some people are allergic to pollen, take a tiny bit first (1/8 tsp) and see how you react. Gradually build up as your body adapts to its potency.

Supplementation with any type of bio-identical hormone at puberty or younger is discouraged since this can affect the bodies ability to produce that hormone normally later on in life.
