One of the most intriguing compounds found naturally within only certain species of pine trees, is shikimic acid. Naturally occurring shikimic acid is known in the scientific literature to support lung health, respiratory function and immune system health.

Shikimic acid found naturally within certain pine trees needles has also been shown to help support  myelin sheath health, which acts as insulation for the electrical communication of neurons that spans across the brain and entire nervous system. (2)
