There are many science-backed health benefits of pumpkin seeds such as “full of valuable nutrients, high in antioxidants, very high in magnesium, may improve heart health, can lower blood sugar levels, high in fiber, may improve sperm quality, may help improve sleep, and improve prostate and bladder health.” Most people, especially with overactive bladder (OAB) may know that pumpkin seeds help with bladder control and may be part of their treatment for OAB.
How do Pumpkin Seeds for Bladder Control Work?
Pumpkin seeds help with overactive bladder by inhibiting 2 enzymes, 5-alpha-reductase & aromatase. This then decreases dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to slow down prostate growth (a cause of overactive bladder in men) and to increase testosterone. The increase in testosterone, in both men & women, helps strengthen the pelvic floor muscle to support bladder control. Pumpkin seed also helps relax the bladder wall muscles to increase the capacity to hold urine thus decreases urine frequency.
