HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pumpkin Seed Oil 1000 mg Softgels by BulkSupplements.com
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, supplied as a 1000 mg softgel. It is the ingredient the interaction and effectiveness information on this page refers to.
The inactive ingredients listed are gelatin, glycerin, and purified water. These are the materials that make up the softgel shell and carrier, not active ingredients.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The strongest rating we hold is for benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate), which is rated Possibly Effective. Possibly Effective means the evidence is promising but not conclusive.
For androgenic alopecia (hair loss), interstitial cystitis (bladder pain), intestinal parasite infection, and urinary tract infections, the rating is Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate. In other words, the evidence for those uses isn't established in the data we hold.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Pumpkin as a food is generally well tolerated. For the oil, the most commonly reported side effects are mild abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
Anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) is listed as a rare serious effect. The data also includes case reports of temporary hair loss and severe stomach symptoms after meals containing bitter or wild pumpkin or squash, which were attributed to a compound called cucurbitacin.
We don't have data showing this happens with the purified seed oil. For pregnancy, our record contains no usable safety entry, so there isn't enough data to know either way.
For breastfeeding, the safety of concentrated seed supplements is not well studied. Please talk with your doctor or pharmacist for advice that fits your situation.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take lithium, double-check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting this product, since the only documented interaction is a Moderate one with lithium that could raise lithium levels. No other medication types are documented in our data for this product.
That is not a guarantee that no others exist, so check your exact medications with the search tool on this page.
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 product may be worth considering if you're interested in pumpkin seed oil for prostate health, since that is its best-supported use in our data. If you take lithium, or you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a known allergy, be more careful and talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist first.
Your prescriber can tell you whether this product fits your health picture.
