The average hair count increased by an amazing 40% in the men treated with pumpkin seed oil at 24 weeks. No Negative effect came with the pumpkin seed oil. The study concluded that pumpkin seed oil is a safe, effective agent for the treatment of male pattern baldness.Besides their effect on hair growth, pumpkin seeds are a nutritional powerhouse.
