Food Grade 100% Natural 10:1 20:1 Pine Nut Kernel Extract Powder

What is Pine Nut Kernel Extract?

Pine Nut Kernel Extract is a concentrated substance derived from the edible seeds (kernels) of various pine tree species, most commonly the Pinus koraiensis (Korean pine). The extract is obtained by processing the kernels, often using methods like cold-pressing, solvent extraction, or supercritical CO2 extraction, to isolate and concentrate its bioactive compounds.

While whole pine nuts are a nutritious food, the extract offers a more potent dose of specific beneficial components.
