Pumpkin Seed Oil – organic, raw, unfiltered, straight from the press

Why pumpkin seed oil?

Our oil is pressed fresh to order from roasted pumpkin seeds, using a traditional cold-pressing method. It has a rich, nutty aroma and a dark green color – a sign of its high antioxidant content, especially vitamin E and chlorophyll.

But taste isn’t all — pumpkin seed oil is valued for its potential to support prostate health, bladder function, and even hair growth in men and women.

How does it work?

Pumpkin seed oil is naturally rich in ∆7-phytosterols – unique plant compounds that are believed to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone).

Why is this important?

• DHT plays a key role in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) – an age-related enlargement of the prostate gland.

• The same hormone is also linked to androgenic hair loss (male/female pattern baldness), especially in genetically predisposed people.

By mildly inhibiting DHT, pumpkin seed oil may help:

• reduce prostate swelling and urinary issues,

• support hormonal balance,

• and potentially reduce hair loss and improve hair density.

Multiple clinical studies have shown that pumpkin seed oil (or extract) supplementation may improve BPH symptoms (lower IPSS score), urinary flow, and quality of life – without significant side effects .

In one study on men with mild androgenic alopecia, those taking 400 mg/day of pumpkin seed oil extract for 24 weeks experienced about 40% more hair growth than the placebo group .

What’s inside? Active compounds:

• ∆7-Phytosterols – help support prostate health and may block DHT.

• Zinc – supports hormonal balance and skin/hair regeneration.

• Omega-6 & omega-9 fatty acids – anti-inflammatory, help maintain healthy skin and hair.

• Vitamin E – antioxidant protection for cells, skin, and immune function.

• Chlorophyll – helps detoxify and support liver regeneration.

How to use it?

• Drizzle over salads, vegetables, hummus or dips

• Mix into cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, or grain bowls

• Ideal as a finishing oil – do not heat or fry

When not to use – contraindications:

• If you are allergic to pumpkin, seeds, or nuts

• If you have low blood pressure or take antihypertensive medication

• During pregnancy or breastfeeding – use in culinary amounts only, or consult your doctor

• If you are on cholesterol-lowering medication (e.g., statins) – ask your GP before regular use

3 surprising facts:

1. Natural DHT-blocker – Pumpkin seed oil may naturally inhibit the enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) that converts testosterone into DHT – linked to prostate growth and hair loss.

2. Clinically promising for hair – In a small study, pumpkin seed extract users experienced a ~40% increase in hair growth after 24 weeks.

3.  Works well with other treatments – Combining oral pumpkin seed oil with topical minoxidil showed better results than minoxidil alone in one study on androgenic alopecia.
