Pumpkin Seed Oil is obtained from pumpkin seeds and naturally contains fatty acids, phytosterols and other plant-derived compounds.
Although traditionally valued for its nutritional properties, Pumpkin Seed Oil has increasingly attracted scientific interest in its potential relationship with hair health.
Why is Pumpkin Seed Oil studied for hair?
One proposed area of interest involves androgen-related pathways associated with certain types of hair thinning.
Researchers have therefore investigated whether Pumpkin Seed Oil may have a role in supporting hair growth in people experiencing pattern hair loss.
What has research found?
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated oral Pumpkin Seed Oil in 76 men with mild-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia.
Participants receiving 400 mg of Pumpkin Seed Oil daily for 24 weeks experienced a greater increase in hair count than the placebo group. (PubMed)
Another randomized study investigated topical Pumpkin Seed Oil in women with female-pattern hair loss and reported improvements in several hair measures. (PubMed)
These studies make Pumpkin Seed Oil an interesting ingredient for further hair research.
However, they should not be interpreted as proof that every Pumpkin Seed Oil-containing product produces identical results. Dose, formulation, route of administration, study population and other ingredients can differ substantially.
Pumpkin Seed Oil in CLEAJOURVIT™
CLEAJOURVIT™ provides 100 mg of Pumpkin Seed Oil per daily serving of 3 gummies.
It is combined with 300 mg Saw Palmetto Extract, as well as Biotin, Zinc, MSM, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Silica and vitamins.
The objective of this combination is to provide multi-ingredient nutritional support rather than relying on one nutrient alone.
Nutrition is only one part of hair care
Hair shedding can have many causes, and nutrition represents only one part of the picture.
A complete approach to healthy hair may also include appropriate scalp cleansing, minimizing excessive physical and chemical damage, suitable topical care and medical evaluation when hair loss is sudden, severe or unexplained.
CLEAJOURVIT can therefore be used as the nutritional component of a broader Cleajour hair-care routine.
