Pumpkin Seeds and Prostate Health

Not enough can be said about the healing power of pumpkin seeds!  It seems hard to believe, doesn’t it?  Why do these little seeds have such a profound effect on prostate health? 

Did you know that pumpkin seeds contain fatty oil that is a natural diuretic?   The medical community scoffs at the idea that pumpkin seeds may have anything to do with an increase in urine flow.  However, in addition to being a natural diuretic, these seeds contain as much as eight milligrams of zinc equivalent to a half cup per serving!  

Some doctors recommend taking 60 milligrams of zinc each day as part of the regimen to combat BPH!  However, make certain you are in contact with your regular physician because this amount is way more than the daily value.

The point is studies have proven that zinc reduces the size of an enlarged prostate. 

Those little pumpkin seeds are high in the amino acids: alanine, glycine and glutamic acid.

According to recent study men who were taking the supplements of these amino acids with a dose of 200 milligrams each day, BPH symptoms showed significant relief.
