HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Full Spectrum Pumpkin Seed Oil 1,000 mg by Planetary Herbals
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains 3 active ingredients: pumpkin seed oil and two types of fat—polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. The pumpkin seed oil is the star here, delivering the compounds traditionally associated with prostate and urinary health.
The softgel capsule itself is made from gelatin, glycerin, and purified water, which are inactive ingredients that help deliver the oil.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for pumpkin seed oil is modest. It's rated possibly effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—the noncancerous enlargement of the prostate that affects urination in older men.
For other uses listed here—hair loss, interstitial cystitis (bladder pain), intestinal parasites, and urinary tract infections—the reliable evidence isn't established enough to rate.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
As a food, pumpkin is well tolerated by most people. This concentrated seed-oil supplement is generally well tolerated in adults, though some trial participants reported mild abdominal discomfort.
The most common side effects are abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Anaphylaxis is rare but has been reported.
There are also two case reports of hair loss 1–3 weeks after consuming bitter-tasting pumpkin or squash, attributed to high levels of cucurbitacin (a natural compound in wild pumpkins). We don't have enough safety data on concentrated pumpkin seed supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding to say it's safe; talk with your doctor before use if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take lithium for bipolar disorder or mood conditions, double-check with your pharmacist before adding this product—pumpkin seed oil may raise lithium levels and require a dose adjustment.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're dealing with benign prostate enlargement and want to try a natural option, pumpkin seed oil has some backing. But if you take lithium, clear it with your pharmacist first.
And if you're pregnant, nursing, or have a history of pumpkin or squash sensitivity, check with your doctor before starting.

Full Spectrum Pumpkin Seed Oil 1,000 mg by Planetary Herbals Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Planetary Herbals' Full Spectrum Pumpkin Seed Oil has one documented drug interaction we need to flag.
The pumpkin seed oil itself may interact with lithium, a medication used to treat bipolar disorder and certain mood conditions. Pumpkin seed oil is thought to have diuretic properties—meaning it may increase urination—which could theoretically reduce how much lithium your body clears, raising its level in your blood.
This is a moderate-severity interaction, so if you take lithium, check with your pharmacist before starting this product; your lithium dose might need adjusting.

We couldn't check the polyunsaturated fat and monounsaturated fat in this product for drug interactions—we hold no data on either one. That doesn't mean they interact; it just means we haven't reviewed them.
