- Pumpkin seed oil (Cucurbita pepo) versus tamsulosin for benign prostatic hyperplasia symptom relief: a single-blind randomized clinical trial
PubMed ID: 34666728
Randomized single-blind trial found pumpkin seed oil significantly reduced IPSS over 3 months (less than tamsulosin)—direct evidence for prostate symptom relief.
Immune support (1)
- Utilizing the sublingual form of squalene in COVID-19 patients: a randomized clinical trial
PubMed ID: 38402329
Large RCT of sublingual squalene (from pumpkin seed oil) showed substantially fewer deaths and rehospitalizations in COVID-19 patients, indicating clinically relevant immune/anti-infective benefit.
Wellbeing (1)
- Utilizing the sublingual form of squalene in COVID-19 patients: a randomized clinical trial
PubMed ID: 38402329
Substantial reductions in mortality/rehospitalization in hospitalized COVID-19 patients would meaningfully affect overall health outcomes.
Hair growth (1)
- Pumpkin seed oil vs. minoxidil 5% topical foam for the treatment of female pattern hair loss: A randomized comparative trial
PubMed ID: 33544448
Randomized trial in women showed statistically significant improvements in hair regrowth parameters over 3 months, directly supporting hair-strength/regrowth claims.
Cholesterol (1)
- Improvement in HDL cholesterol in postmenopausal women supplemented with pumpkin seed oil: pilot study
PubMed ID: 21545273
Pilot RCT reported an increase in HDL (~16%), a direct favorable change in lipid profile relevant to cholesterol health.
Heart health (1)
- Improvement in HDL cholesterol in postmenopausal women supplemented with pumpkin seed oil: pilot study
PubMed ID: 21545273
Postmenopausal trial showed diastolic BP reduction and HDL increase, both relevant for heart health though study was small and short.
Hormone balance (1)
- Improvement in HDL cholesterol in postmenopausal women supplemented with pumpkin seed oil: pilot study
PubMed ID: 21545273

Vascular health (1)
- Improvement in HDL cholesterol in postmenopausal women supplemented with pumpkin seed oil: pilot study
PubMed ID: 21545273
Observed diastolic BP reduction in postmenopausal women supports an effect on blood pressure, a component of vascular health.
