Now Foods Pumpkin Seed Oil, 1000 mg, 100 Softgels

Description

Age-related prostate problems

Let's face it, men have different health needs than women. Among these, many men experience prostate problems as they age, with symptoms including an enlarged prostate and increased urge to urinate, erratic urine flow, urinary tract infections, and other complications associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The culprit appears to be the accumulation of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent metabolite of testosterone. Pumpkin seed oil is a nutritional oil rich in essential fatty acids and phytosterols that may reduce the effects of DHT and possibly block the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Each dose of this NOW Foods delivers 2,000 mg of pumpkin seed oil in each 2-softgel dose to support your prostate health. Oils derived from only the highest quality, non-GMO pumpkin seeds—without the use of solvents.

Cold pressed for nutritional preservation

Pumpkin seed oil, also known as pepita oil, is the oil extracted from the seeds of a pumpkin. NOW Foods uses the preferred extraction method, cold-pressed, which means they extract the oil using pressure rather than heat. This process allows this pumpkin seed oil to retain its beneficial antioxidants and antimicrobial agents that might otherwise be damaged or lost due to heat.
