Pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita pepo) are more than just a nutritious snack – they are considered a valuable herbal remedy. Their effect is based on unsaturated fatty acids, zinc, phytosterols, vitamin E, and selenium. Traditionally, pumpkin seeds are used to support prostate health, bladder function, and immune defense.
Studies suggest that pumpkin seed extract may improve urination in cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)without hormonal side effects. Women with overactive bladder or mild urinary issues may also benefit.
Thanks to their antioxidant content, pumpkin seeds promote cell protection, immune regulation, and skin health.
