A 30 g serving (about ¼ cup) of pumpkin seeds delivers roughly 42 % of the recommended daily magnesium intake, a mineral vital for regulating blood pressure and maintaining bone density. Regular magnesium intake from these seeds has been linked to lower hypertension risk and stronger skeletal health over time ([www.heart.org][1], [Harvard Health][2]).
In men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), daily consumption of pumpkin seed extract for 12 months produced a clinically relevant reduction in Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, as measured by the International Prostate Symptom Score ([PubMed][3], [PMC][4]). Pumpkin seed oil, similarly used, has also shown symptomatic relief in moderate BPH cases, making both whole-seed and oil preparations viable long-term options.
Pumpkin seeds are a rich source of tryptophan (approximately 576 mg per 100 g) and contain significant magnesium levels. Together, these nutrients promote the synthesis of serotonin and melatonin, improving sleep onset and duration in adults who include them regularly in the diet ([WebMD][5], [PMC][6]).
Bioactive compounds such as trigonelline, nicotinic acid, and D-chiro-inositol found in pumpkin seeds exert hypoglycemic effects. Studies demonstrate that acute intake of around 65 g of seeds can markedly reduce post-meal blood-glucose spikes, and longer-term consumption supports overall glycemic control ([PubMed][7], [ScienceDirect][8]).
Loaded with polyphenols and phytosterols, pumpkin seeds exhibit strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. These phytochemicals neutralize free radicals, help protect cellular structures from oxidative damage and have been associated with reduced risk markers for certain cancers over prolonged use ([PMC][6], [Verywell Health][9]).
Beyond these effects, pumpkin seeds supply zinc, copper and selenium—key minerals for immune defense—and their tryptophan content contributes to serotonin production, which may aid mood regulation when consumed consistently over time ([WebMD][5], [New York Post][10]).
