learn Pumpkin seed oil

Does pumpkin seed oil block DHT, the hormone linked to male and female pattern baldness? Pumpkin seed oil has not been shown to lower DHT in people. One small, supplier-funded trial of a branded supplement reported more hair after 24 weeks but did not measure DHT (Cho et al. 2014).
Is pumpkin seed oil more effective as a capsule supplement or as a topical scalp treatment? No study has compared capsules with scalp use. The one human trial, funded by the capsule supplier, used capsules; scalp use has only been tested in mice.
Can pumpkin seed oil be safely combined with other hair growth ingredients like minoxidil or biotin? No study has tested whether pumpkin seed oil is safe or useful alongside minoxidil or biotin. Ask a pharmacist before combining supplements with a hair-loss medicine, and tell your doctor about biotin before blood tests.
