Trick or treat… or pee in peace? Believe it or not, pumpkin seed oil could squash your need to go.
“Six months ago, I was literally peeing my pants every time I coughed or sneezed,” one frustrated TikToker admitted to her followers. “I was also getting up, going to the bathroom in the middle of he night three or four times, like what the heck was that… then I discovered this pumpkin seed oil.”
The content creator showed off her bag of Micro Ingredients Pumpkin Seed Oil, a cold-pressed formula that’s on sale for just $27 on Amazon.
Pumpkin seed oil is packed with natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, and some experts believe that it could help soothe bladder irritation, inflammation, frequent urination, and even prostate-related problems.
A clinical trial published in the Journal of Functional Foods found that Cucuflavone — a blend of pumpkin seed and soy germ extracts — significantly reduced symptoms in people with overactive bladders. After just 12 weeks, users reported less urinary frequency, urgency, and incontinence.
And fans claim it has other benefits, too.
“If you’re dealing with hot flashes, night sweats, thinning hair, all the things, menopause, get your bag of this pumpkin seed oil. It was a complete game-changer for me,” the social media user claimed.
The Micro Ingredients formula combines maximum-strength, pumpkin seed oil softgels with a potent blend of ingredients, including essential fatty acids, phytosterols, and antioxidants, as well as saw palmetto extract, which has been studied for its purported benefits on hair regrowth.
According to the brand, this complex offers dual-action support for prostate, bladder, urinary, and hair health for both men and women. A cold-pressing method is used to lock in natural nutrients, helping preserve the immune-boosting vitamins, minerals, and essential omegas.
Over 20,000 customers purchased the Micro Ingredients formula in the last month alone, and thousands are raving in the reviews about its wide-ranging benefits.
About six weeks after starting the supplement, one 60-year-old reviewer reported a significant improvement in their ability to control their bladder.
“I noticed I was sleeping through the night without waking up to empty my bladder,” they shared. “For at least four to five years prior, I had used the bathroom normally once each night… the claims about bladder health are absolutely true.”
Sick of sprinting to the bathroom, too? This seasonal staple might be the natural trick you’ve been waiting for, and at just $27 for a month-long supply, it’s a treat for your wallet, too.
