Overactive bladder is characterized by a sudden urge to urinate that can also lead to an involuntary loss of urine. Medical researchers have estimated that 16% of men and women suffer from overactive bladder symptoms as well as frequent daytime and night urination.  Although this disorder is not associated with any threats to overall health or longevity it has been demonstrated to reduce quality of life considerably in its sufferers.

Several studies have shown compelling data in pumpkin seed extract's ability to support bladder function and combat the symptoms associated with an overactive bladder. In an animal study published in the Japanese Journal of Medicine and Pharmaceutical Science, rats supplemented with pumpkin seed extract significantly improved bladder function and decreased urinary frequency.5

The promising results of pumpkin seed extract for an overactive bladder were also demonstrated in humans. Japanese scientists examined the effects of pumpkin seed and soybean germ extracts on urinary frequency during the daytime and night in 39 postmenopausal women aged 52 to 86 over a 6-week period.6 At the end of the study, participants experienced significant decreases in the number of daytime and night urination.

In another study, 45 men aged 65 or older experienced significant reductions in nighttime urinary frequency and improved sleep satisfaction after supplementing with the combination extract for six weeks.

Furthermore, pumpkin seeds might provide dramatic relief for aging men suffering from urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia, an enlarged prostate. Researchers revealed that 53 men ages 50-80 taking a pumpkin seed extract containing mixture for three months produced an over 40% increase in urinary flow and a 30% reduction in nighttime urinary frequency compared with those taking a placebo.

I have been favorably impressed with this extract on frequent urination. Please contact me with any questions or to purchase!   Best Wishes!
