Lotus, have you been able to determine how much zinc is in pumpkin seed oil? I have read that pumpkin seed oil is loaded with zinc, but have never seen how much mg zinc you can expect in 1000mg of pumpkin seed oil.

Larana, thank you for posting the info. It's still a little vague only seeing a portion of the description. One thing I check for is the product reviews, although manufactures have been known to add fake reviews to plug their products, so take them with a grain of salt, lol. It also helps if you're buying from a reputable supplier that can answer any questions you might have and also offer a money back guarantee.
Good luck.

Hi Janet, pumpkin seed is pretty interesting in that it inhibits 5 ar (beta-sitosterol and delta-7-sterine). Also a phytoestrogen and galactagogue, I've even seen it reported as an aphrodisiac, other benefits posted below.
Isabelle posted this about zinc,
Quote:Zinc becoming androgen-
In a list like this, the effects of an herb are expressed in terms of the functions, rather than in tangible NBE results. Results are often dependent on a combination of herbs, like the net effect of oats and flax on SHBG, which can cancel each other. Results depend on doses too: zinc helps in growth and swelling above 12 mg. Above 35 mg, it decreases prolactin, and above 80 mg, it becomes an androgen.
A quarter cup of zinc contains 2.52mg or 17.1% DV. Whole roasted, unshelled pumpkin seeds contain about 10 milligrams of zinc per 3.5 ounces, and shelled roasted pumpkin seeds (sometimes called pumpkin seed kernels) contain about 7-8 milligrams. Still checking on the zinc content of 1000 mg PSO.
The therapeutic properties of pumpkin seed oil.
From seeds- Snack on a quarter-cup of pumpkin seeds and you will receive 46.1% of the daily value for magnesium, 28.7% of the DV for iron, 52.0% of the DV for manganese, 24.0% of the DV for copper, 16.9% of the DV for protein, and 17.1% of the DV for zinc.
Pumpkin seed oil is rich in phytoestrogens
Anti-hypertensive - has the ability to lower blood pressure.
Cardio – protective – can protect the cardiovascular system from disease.
Antioxidant – contains many free radical scavenging nutrients.
Diuretic – the oil shows strong diuretic effects.
Galactagogue – increases mother’s milk production
Anti-parasitic – aids the body in killing and expelling intestinal worms.
Anti-rheumatic – reduces inflammation because of powerful essential fatty acids.
Anti-insomnia – this oil may help one fall asleep faster. Not yet evaluated, but possibly because of tryptophan in the seed oil.
Anti-inflammatory – reduces inflammation all over the body.
Antioxidant - shows powerful activity against free radicals.
Prostate tonic – Pumpkin seed oil is one of the most powerful prostate tonic for men. It boosts the health of the prostate and protects it from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Emollient – moisturizes the skin.
Anti-oedema- works against fluid build up in the body.
Pumpkin seed oil’s greatest medicinal application is in the condition of BPH. However, it can also prove to be helpful in bladder cystitis and urinary disorders.
Pumpkin seed oil is a powerhouse of nutrition. The oil is not 100 % fat which is very rare among oils. This oil is especially rich in proteins ( amino acids ). The fat concentration in pumpkin seed oil is only about 30 - 50 %. Local oils sold in Greece and Eastern Europe are high in protein and carbohydrates, which goes to show that unfiltered, cold pressed oils are the richest and most varied in terms of nutrition. When an oil is filtered, it may lose much of its dietary fiber and some nutrients, but this makes it much more suitable for topical application.
Pumpkin seed oil is not known to lead to contraindications or cause interactions with medicines. It can be safely applied to the skin directly undiluted. It is also safe to be taken via mouth. However, it should not be used as cooking oil because heat destroys the good nutrition that it provides. This renders the oil virtually useless, and more still harmful because of the effects of hydrogenated fat molecules that form with heat.
One should make sure that the pumpkin seed oil is cold pressed. Other kinds of pumpkin seed oils are harmful, and may even contain carcinogenic compounds and toxic impurities.

While it's difficult to get too much zinc from pumpkin seeds and other foods, signs of zinc toxicity include chills, fever, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, cramping, diarrhea and headache.
According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of a severe zinc overdose, usually found in people taking supplements, include chest pain, dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath and yellow eyes or skin.
The RDA of Zinc is 8 to 11mg daily.

I see from my local health food store, 100 tabs of 50mg zinc, costs more than 100 capsules of 1000mg pumpkin seed oil. I'm presently taking 1/2 zinc tab ( 25mg ) now. I`ll pick up some pumpkin seed oil and drop the tabs, if it helps eliminate my DHT, so much better. !!

An interesting phenomenon is that free zinc ions enhance prostate cancer growth, while zinc citrate has the opposite effect. This is especially applicable to those with low testosterone, because testosterone reduces cancer aggressiveness and metastasis. You have to get T below ~230 ng/dl to start getting a reduction of cancer growth rate to offset the increased aggressiveness/metastasis, because the growth rate effect of T saturates at low levels.
