OUR STORY
From NZ pine forests to natural T support
Carl and the team built Bio Gold to improve health naturally — starting with New Zealand pine pollen.
- Made in NZ
- Research-backed
THE BEGINNING
How Bio Gold started
-
The start
The scientist
Carl trained as a scientist — BSc in biology and environmental science — then worked at MPI across biosecurity, tech & innovation, and policy. He was already hooked on what plants can do for human health.
-
First batches
The first batches
The team made prototypes from New Zealand-harvested pine pollen. Early customers reported real improvements in energy and wellbeing. That feedback became the #1 reason Bio Gold exists.
-
Today
The mission
Serve people by improving health naturally. Modern science, ancient botanical knowledge, 100% New Zealand made — and the foundations of a NZ pine pollen industry.
