HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pumpkin Seed Oil 1000 mg by Bronson Laboratories
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 one active ingredient: pumpkin seed oil at 1000 mg per softgel. The oil comes enclosed in a gelatin capsule with vegetable glycerin and purified water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Pumpkin seed oil is possibly effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — a condition in which the prostate gland enlarges in older men. For androgenic alopecia (male-pattern hair loss), interstitial cystitis (bladder pain), intestinal parasites, and urinary tract infections, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Pumpkin seed oil is generally well tolerated by most adults when taken as a supplement. The most common mild side effects from oral use are abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
A rare serious reaction, anaphylaxis (a severe allergic response), has been reported. Additionally, there are two case reports of hair loss occurring 1–3 weeks after eating bitter-tasting pumpkin or squash; these were linked to high levels of cucurbitacin, a compound found in wild varieties.
Safety data during pregnancy and breastfeeding are not well studied; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before use if you are pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take lithium, confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product — pumpkin seed oil may increase lithium levels and require a dose adjustment.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This supplement may help with benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). If you take lithium, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first — the oil might affect how your body clears it.
Generally well tolerated, but mild digestive upset can occur. Discuss it with your own healthcare provider before starting, especially if you're on any medications.
