water soluble Pumpkin (Curcurbita pepo) extract
Pumpkin is a type of squash native to North America. Pumpkin is a good source of nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. It is also a rich source of antioxidants, particularly beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body. Pumpkin has been used historically as a dietary supplement for supporting eye health, boosting the immune system, reducing the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, and helping to reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. Pumpkin is also a good source of fiber, which can help improve digestion and lower cholesterol levels. Both pumpkin and pumpkin seed extracts have been utilized for dietary supplement purposes.

- for Longer Life
- Aging individuals frequently encounter a weakening of the bladder and its sphincter muscle that controls the release of urine.
Laboratory and human clinical studies demonstrate that ingestion of water-soluble pumpkin seed extract can significantly improve the structural support of the bladder and the function of the sphincter muscle.58-62
Clinical studies on women and men have used capsules containing 262 mg of water-soluble pumpkin seed extract an 50 mg of soy isoflavones taken two times each day. The results from human studies show the maximum benefits occurring after six to eight weeks of continued use.60-62
The data supporting the value of water-soluble pumpkin seed extract is particularly strong in studies performed in women. A clinical study of aging men also demonstrated positive results.62
The pumpkin seed has a long history of use in helping to maintain healthy bladder function. Japanese scientists have patented a method to obtain the water-soluble constituents of the pumpkin seed, which are absorbed far more efficiently into the bloodstream. These water-soluble pumpkin seed extracts appear to be the active constituents that help with the urinary discomforts endured by so many maturing women and men.
