HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pumpkin Seed Oil 1000 mg by NutriONN

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 1,000 mg per softgel. The capsule itself is made from gelatin, glycerin, and purified water.

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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: prostate health and cholesterol support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), hypercholesterolemia, dyslipidemia.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Pumpkin is rated "Possibly Effective" for Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (Natural Medicines).

Pumpkin seed oil is rated possibly effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—an enlarged prostate that causes urinary symptoms in men. For androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss), interstitial cystitis (bladder pain), intestinal parasite infection, and urinary tract infections, the evidence we hold is insufficient to make a reliable rating 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 when taken by mouth. The most common side effects in trials are mild abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

Very rarely, anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) has been reported. There are also two case reports of adults who developed severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, or substantial hair loss, after consuming meals with bitter-tasting pumpkin or squash—both linked to high levels of cucurbitacin, a compound found mainly in wild pumpkins.

Commercial pumpkin seed oil supplements are generally safe, but safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding hasn't been well studied. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

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 disorders or bipolar disorder, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding pumpkin seed oil. The supplement may reduce your body's ability to clear lithium, raising its levels—a Moderate-severity interaction that could 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 have an enlarged prostate causing urinary symptoms, pumpkin seed oil may be worth considering—the evidence suggests it could help. If you take lithium, you'll need to check this one with your own doctor or pharmacist first, since it may affect how your body processes it.

For other uses, the evidence isn't strong enough yet to know if it works. Either way, run your full medication list through the checker on this page before you start.
