Ganesha Herbs Pine Needle Liquid Tincture – Dual Extract, 2 fl oz

Key Benefits of Pine Needle Extract

Pine needle extract delivers immune support thanks to its high levels of vitamin C and antioxidants. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, while antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress. The presence of shikimic acid, also found in star anise, adds to the traditional reputation of pine needle as a supportive herb during cold and flu season. Traditionally used to support the body's natural detoxification processes and to help maintain respiratory health when part of a balanced lifestyle.

What Is Pine Needle Liquid Tincture?

Pine needle liquid tincture is a concentrated herbal extract produced from the fresh needles of white and red pine trees. Ganesha Herbs creates this dual-extract tincture using wild-crafted pine needles harvested locally in Bozeman, Montana, combined with grain alcohol and spring water. This method extracts a wide range of beneficial compounds, including vitamin C, antioxidants, and shikimic acid. The result is a potent, fast-absorbing liquid that offers a convenient alternative to pine needle tea.

Why Choose a Dual Extract?

A dual extraction process employs both alcohol and water to maximise the range of compounds extracted from plant material. Water-soluble nutrients like vitamin C dissolve readily in water, while alcohol efficiently pulls out resinous compounds and essential oils. By combining both solvents in one preparation, dual extracts provide a more complete phytochemical profile than simple teas or single-solvent tinctures. The Ganesha Herbs Pine Needle Tincture uses this method to ensure you receive the full spectrum of the pine tree's natural constituents.

How to Uses Pine Needle Tincture

This liquid tincture can be taken directly by mouth or mixed into water, juice, or tea. A typical serving is 30–60 drops (about 1–2 ml) up to three times daily, or as directed by a health care professional. Because it contains grain alcohol (approx. 40–50% ABV as a dual extract), it has a slightly warming taste. You may dilute it in warm water to mimic pine needle tea. Always shake the bottle before uses and store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before using this supplement.
