EFA / Omega 3
Pumpkin seeds, and the oil they contain, have long been used as folk medicine. They have recently been the subject of a number of studies to identify their health-promoting potential. Preliminary studies have shown that pumpkin seeds may reduce hormonal damage to prostate cells, thus possibly reducing the risk of developing prostate cancer. Pumpkin seeds have been used to treat urinary tract infections, and in certain parts of Europe, pumpkin seeds have been used to treat learning disorders. In China, pumpkin seeds are regarded as a remedy for depression (and pumpkin seed oil has long been a treatment for prostatitis).
Pumpkin Seed Oil is a natural source of linoleic acid, along with vitamins A, E, C and K. The fresh oil contains more than 60% unsaturated fatty acids. It is an excellent source of zinc, which is helpful for prostate health.
