HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pumpkin Seed Oil 1000 mg by NusaPure

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 product contains one active ingredient: pumpkin seed oil at 1000 mg per softgel capsule. The oil is delivered in a softgel made from gelatin, vegetable glycerin, and purified water — the typical inactive ingredients that make up the capsule itself.

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).

Pumpkin seed oil is possibly effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition in older men where the prostate enlarges and can affect urination. For other uses — male-pattern hair loss, interstitial cystitis (bladder pain), parasitic infections, and urinary tract infections — the evidence is insufficient to rate whether it works.

That doesn't mean it's ineffective; it means the research data we hold isn't strong enough to say either way.

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 when taken by mouth. The most common side effects reported in trials are mild abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

Rarely, anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) has been reported. There are also two case reports of temporary hair loss after eating bitter-tasting pumpkin or squash, linked to high levels of cucurbitacin, a natural compound — the risk from standard pumpkin seed oil supplements is unclear.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety data for concentrated pumpkin seed oil supplements is not well studied; talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you during either time.

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.

If you take lithium for mood or bipolar disorder, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product — pumpkin seed oil may reduce how your body clears lithium, raising its level and possibly requiring a dose adjustment. No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredient we could check.

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.

Pumpkin seed oil may be worth considering if you have benign prostatic hyperplasia and are looking for a supplement option. If you take lithium, you must clear it with your doctor or pharmacist first — the supplement may raise your lithium levels.

For other potential uses, the evidence isn't established yet. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before you start.
