Pumpkin seeds and oil is very rich in beneficial fatty acids, antioxidants like Vitamin E, beta-carotene and zeaxanthin, and compounds such as phytosterols and delta-7-sterine that have many health benefits. It is a dark green oil, sometimes seen as dark red/brown in certain light and thicker concentrations, with a rich nutty flavor.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that affects many men around the world, particularly men over 50. BPH is believed to be due to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) promoting proliferation of prostate cells. This results in an enlargement of the prostate gland and can lead to problems and discomfort when urinating.
The phytosterol beta-sitosterol is found in significant concentrations in pumpkin seed oil and helps block the damaging effects of DHT by inhibiting its conversion from testosterone. Pumpkin seed oil also contains the compound delta-7-sterine that specifically competes with DHT in the prostate and seems to help prevent prostate cell multiplication.
Alongside these two DHT blockers, pumpkin seed oil contains high levels of antioxidant carotenoids, omega-6 and omega 9 fatty acids and zinc, all of which may help reduce a man's risk of developing BPH and studies found pumpkin seed oil supplementation reduced symptoms and pain for men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Both an enlarged prostate and male pattern baldness are believed to result, at least in large part, from an overproduction of DHT. The same beta-sitosterol, delta-7-sterine (and perhaps yet unidentified compounds) in pumpkin seed oil that reduces DHT's effect on the prostate cells, may also help prevent it having a negative effect on our hair follicles

Research, has shown high levels of phytosterols in the diet significantly decreased cholesterol absorption and may therefore be of benefit in lowering a person's risk for heart disease. The essential fatty acids and antioxidants in pumpkin seed oil are also likely to be helpful in preventing heart disease.
Pumpkin seed oil benefits our joints and is a popular supplement for the treatment of arthritic pain. The high levels of antioxidants, fatty acids and other compounds in pumpkin seed oil seem to help reduce inflammation in joints for sufferers of arthritis.
In fact, some research has shown the positive effects of pumpkin seed oil on arthritis is on a PAR with anti-arthritis drug Indomethacin, without the side effects. Unfortunately for the pharmaceutical companies, they can't patent the natural stuff like pumpkin seed oil so they're understandably not too keen for this kind of information to get out.
The benefits of Pumpkin seed oil may also extend to helping with the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The high fatty acid content may help reduce inflammation in the GI tract and many people report a lessening of symptoms when they take pumpkin seed oil regularly.
