When you think of seeds, pumpkin seeds might not be the first that come to mind for wellness but they’re among nature’s most powerful sources of nutrition. Pumpkin seed oil, often called “green gold,” has been valued for centuries for its ability to support men’s health, urinary comfort, and overall vitality.

What Is Pumpkin Seed Oil?

Pumpkin seed oil is extracted from the seeds of the pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo). Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and plant compounds, this dark green oil offers a wide range of health benefits from heart support to prostate and bladder health.

Traditionally used in Europe for its healing and nourishing effects, it’s now recognized worldwide as a functional food and natural supplement.

Key Nutrients in Pumpkin Seed Oil

Pumpkin seed oil contains a unique nutritional profile that makes it stand out:

• Omega-6 (Linoleic Acid) – Supports cell health and hormone balance.

• Omega-9 (Oleic Acid) – Promotes healthy cholesterol levels and heart health.

• Phytosterols – Natural compounds that may help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.

• Zinc & Magnesium – Essential minerals for prostate, hair, and immune function.

• Vitamin E & Antioxidants – Protect cells from oxidative damage and support skin health.

1. Supports Men’s Prostate and Urinary Health

One of the most studied benefits of pumpkin seed oil relates to prostate and urinary function.

Clinical studies show it may help reduce symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) a common condition where the prostate enlarges and causes urinary discomfort.

• It helps improve urine flow and reduce frequency of urination, especially at night.

• The effect is linked to pumpkin seed oil’s phytosterols and zinc, which help regulate hormones and prostate cell growth.

2. Promotes Heart and Metabolic Health

Pumpkin seed oil’s rich composition of unsaturated fatty acids and phytosterols contributes to cardiovascular wellness.

• Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

• Reduces oxidative stress that affects heart and artery health.

• May support blood pressure regulation thanks to its magnesium content.

3. Nourishes Skin and Hair

The antioxidants and essential fatty acids in pumpkin seed oil promote moisture retention, skin elasticity, and stronger hair follicles.
Some studies even show that supplementing with pumpkin seed oil may support hair growth in men and women by blocking DHT, a hormone linked to hair loss.

4. Supports Bladder Health in Both Men and Women

Pumpkin seed oil has been shown to help with overactive bladder and urinary frequency, supporting comfort and bladder control especially in aging adults.

A 2014 study found that adults who took pumpkin seed oil extract for 12 weeks experienced improved urinary function and quality of life.

5. Helps Balance Sleep and Mood Naturally

Pumpkin seeds contain tryptophan, an amino acid that supports serotonin and melatonin production helping to balance mood and sleep cycles naturally.
