Pumpkin Seeds & oil

[m1946]

For any comments!I was recommended to swallow two desert spoons of Pumpkin seed oil every day! I now purchase a litre of pure oil from Austrian suppliers. Hope it's doing me good especially after reading the following!

Pumpkin Seed

Pumpkin seeds combine the benefits of each of the ingredients above in one compact, antioxidant package. Rich in both plant sterols and carotenoids, pumpkin seeds help limit the growth of prostate cells while also increasing urine flow. In addition, they are a natural source of zinc, an anti-inflammatory mineral in which men with enlarged prostates are typically deficient.

Who made that recommendation?

I’ve been eating a tablespoon of raw pumpkin seeds every day for about a year. I’ve noticed that my nocturnal urinary frequency has been reduced and on my last MRI there was no mention of BPH whereas there was on the previous MRI’s. I’m on active surveillance and eat a plant based diet. nutritionfacts.org/video/na...

Can you site your source? I'm interested in reading more. Thanks.

The idea was mentioned by a friend who couldn't take Tamsulocin capsules and after research decided to take Pumpkin Seed Oil. It worked fir him so he never had to resort to Tamsulocin to cure his weak stream. When I googled the benefits I thought it was a no brainer!!!

Thanks. I also googled and will be giving this a try. Looks like they help with a host of things!

I’ve been taking pumpkin seed oil capsules for a month. They are handy to have. Although today has been the first time I’ve had a weak urine flow standing up- bit anxious about going again tbh.

Growing up I never thought an enlarged prostate would scare me so much!

Bless you. Do you take Tamsulocin 400mg? It is recommended by doctors for us elderly gits!I buy a litre of Pumpkin Seed Oil from an Austrian importer and say once a week feel it's useful to take a Tamsulocin 400mg capsule!

I am 78! And hopefully do not have prostate cancer again!!! But I am always nervous waiting for my routine 6 monthly PSA blood test results
