Seeds are cold-pressed, preserving essential fatty acids (omega-6, omega-9) along with phytosterols and isoflavonoids. This gentle mechanical method avoids heat-related nutrient degradation. No solvents, preservatives or common allergens in the formula.

Traditional use and recent research support urinary wellbeing benefits, particularly for men from their forties — supporting a harmonious prostate function and comfort, especially with hesitant urine flow or repeated night-time waking. This oil also interests those looking to support hair density, thanks to phytosterols and isoflavonoids that help modulate DHT via partial 5-alpha reductase inhibition. It also naturally contains minerals, fat-soluble vitamins and natural antioxidants.

Capsules are made exclusively from tapioca starch, plant glycerine and purified water — no animal gelatine, carrageenan or nanoparticles — fully vegan-compatible and offering excellent protection against oxidation/rancidity. Each batch is tested for fatty acid levels, contaminants and heavy metals, with full farm-to-packaging traceability.

Take 2 capsules a day, ideally with a meal for optimal lipid assimilation. A course of at least one to two months lets you observe first benefits, mainly on urine flow and frequency.

Consult a healthcare professional for prolonged courses or if on specific medical treatment. Avoid if you have a known pumpkin allergy. Store away from heat and light to preserve the oil’s freshness.

How quickly does it act on urinary comfort?

First benefits generally appear after a few weeks of regular use, within a healthy lifestyle; a minimum of one to two successive boxes is recommended to fully assess results.

Is this formula suitable for vegans?

Yes — the capsule contains no animal gelatine; only tapioca starch, plant glycerine and water make up the soft shell, fully vegan-compatible.

Can I open the capsule and use the oil directly?

Technically possible, but this exposes the oil to external degradation and reduces oxidative stability — best to take the intact capsule.
