HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pumpkin Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This liquid supplement contains one active ingredient: pumpkin seed extract in dry form. The extract is mixed with glycerin and water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Pumpkin's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Pumpkin for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence supports pumpkin seed extract for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland — where it's rated possibly effective. For other uses — androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss), interstitial cystitis (bladder pain), intestinal parasites, and urinary tract infections — the evidence in our data is insufficient to rate whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Pumpkin

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Pumpkin as food is generally well tolerated. Concentrated seed supplements are considered generally well tolerated for most adults, though the safety of concentrated supplements in pregnancy and breastfeeding is not well studied — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or nursing.

The most common side effects reported are abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) is rare.

There are also two case reports of hair loss in adults who ate meals with bitter-tasting or wild pumpkin — an effect attributed to high cucurbitacin levels — and case reports of severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea from the same source.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Pumpkin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 1 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take lithium, confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product — pumpkin seed extract may reduce how your kidneys clear lithium and increase its levels in your blood.
