It has been proved that pumpkin seed oil is helpful to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia or benign prostatic hyperplasia. Prostatic hyperplasia is a common disease that affects many men over 50 years old. It causes enlargement of the prostate and causes various symptoms. Studies have shown that pumpkin seed oil can reduce the effect of this disease by inhibiting testosterone-induced prostate growth. Some studies have also pointed out that the protective effect of pumpkin seed oil is very significant.
Stress urinary incontinence
It has been proved that pumpkin seed oil is of great help to women with overactive bladder and urinary incontinence caused by pelvic floor muscle pressure. The mixed use of pumpkin seed oil and soybean seed extract can obviously promote the improvement of the disease. The only side effect of pumpkin seed oil mentioned in these studies is mild nausea.
Pumpkin seed oil contains a lot of zeaxanthin, which is a carotenoid that helps to protect and delay the development of macular degeneration. An environmental epidemiological study by the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom reported that zeaxanthin may be more important than expected in preventing macular degeneration.
Promote sleep
Because pumpkin seed oil can reduce the adverse effects of benign prostatic hyperplasia in men and overactive bladder in women, the chances of going to the toilet during sleep are reduced, which is undoubtedly beneficial to improving sleep quality and overall health.
Antioxidant properties
Pumpkin seed oil contains carotenoids and a lot of vitamin E, both of which have antioxidant properties. —— Henkel Machinery
