by NOW Foods
"Cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil — 1000mg for prostate health, urinary function, and DHT management"
Overview
NOW Foods Pumpkin Seed Oil provides 1000mg of cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil per softgel. Pumpkin seed oil is rich in delta-7-sterine, a phytosterol that competes with DHT (dihydrotestosterone) for binding to prostate receptors, helping to maintain normal prostate size. Clinical studies show pumpkin seed oil improves urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — reducing nighttime urination frequency and improving urinary flow rate. The oil also provides essential fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-9), zinc, and vitamin E.
