Pumpkin seed oil

Pumpkin seed oil contains a large amount of healthy substances that, among other things, inhibit hair loss, strengthen heart health and relieve menopause symptoms. We recommend enjoying it in the form of a salad dressing, as the most important medicinal ingredients are destroyed by cooking or heating. Pumpkin seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E - important factors in preventing cardiovascular diseases.
It contains a lot of linolenic acid, one of the essential unsaturated acids that are very important for our body, but which the body cannot produce itself.

Pumpkin seed oil and its benefits:

  • Supports prostate health (contains large amounts of zinc);
  • Reduces inflammation;
  • Relieves the symptoms of (post-)menopause (due to the high content of natural phytoestrogens);
  • Improves sleep and reduces anxiety (is an excellent source of tryptophan, an essential amino acid that the body converts into serotonin and then into the "sleep hormone" melatonin);
  • Inhibits male pattern baldness (the zinc in pumpkin seed oil regulates the hormonal balance in men and promotes hair growth);
  • Strengthens heart health (the anti-inflammatory properties of the oil and the phytoestrogens it contains strengthen the heart and increase the level of good cholesterol in the blood);
  • Improves bladder function in men;
  • Relieves indigestion (helps with irritable bowel syndrome);
  • ZHelps in the treatment of diabetes (the nutrients it contains promote the regeneration of damaged pancreatic cells and the secretion of insulin in patients with diabetes);
  • Increases potency (zinc increases testosterone levels);
  • Youthful appearance (The fatty acids in the oil sooth redness, moisturize the skin and maintain its firmness. Vitamins A and E reduce the signs of aging, improve the complexion and help with eczema, psoriasis, acne and dry skin.) ;
