HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pumpkin Seed Oil 1000 mg by BodSmith

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 3, 2026

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 supplement contains one active ingredient: pumpkin seed oil at 1000 mg per capsule. Pumpkin seed oil is a concentrated extract from pumpkin seeds.

The capsules also contain gelatin and rice powder as inactive ingredients (binders and fillers).

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: natural source of essential fatty acids.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for pumpkin seed oil is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—an enlarged prostate common in older men.

For other uses we hold data on—androgenic alopecia (male-pattern hair loss), interstitial cystitis (bladder pain), intestinal parasite infection, and urinary tract infections—the evidence isn't established well enough for us to rate it.

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 seed oil is generally well tolerated in adults. The most common side effects from oral use are mild: abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

Anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) is rare but has been reported. There are also two case reports of hair loss 1–3 weeks after consuming high-concentration pumpkin or squash products, thought to be due to a compound called cucurbitacin found in wild varieties.

Safety data on concentrated seed-oil supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited; talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're pregnant or nursing.

Meds to double-check

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take lithium. Pumpkin seed oil may raise lithium levels in your blood, and your dose might need adjustment.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you have an enlarged prostate, this supplement may be worth a try based on current evidence. If you take lithium, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—the two may need dose adjustment.

For other uses, evidence isn't clear yet. Talk with your own healthcare provider before adding this to your routine, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
