Pumpkin Seed
Botanical & Other Names: Nangua Zhi, Pepita, Cucurbita Pepo Seed
Native American and African tribes use Pumpkin seed oil to resolve issues associated with an overactive bladder. Research has shown that Pumpkin seed oil, alone or when combined with Phytosterol, can prevent the growth of the prostate due to DHT.
Rich in delta-7-sterols and fatty acids, Pumpkin seed oil is currently being isolated for its fat and water-soluble components that become absorbed into the blood stream benefiting the bladder. In experimental studies conducted on anesthetized rats using Pumpkin seed oil, the rats displayed how water-soluble compounds reduced urine excretion by 54.5 percent.
Both fat and water-soluble compounds inhibit the conversion of testosterone into DHT, while enhancing pelvic floor muscles and increasing nitric oxide production to relax the bladder. Enhanced pelvic floor muscles and increased nitric oxide levels help people suffering from urinary and overactive bladder issues by reducing bathroom trips.
