Pumpkin seeds often appear in recipes for popular remedies for the treatment of inflammation of the prostate.

Composition and useful properties
The main value of pumpkin seeds is the oil contained in them, so you should use them raw.The main components of the composition:
- Gamma, Delta- and Alfa-Tocoferols (Americas that make up vitamin e) are powerful antioxidants that protect damage from damage due to external factors.The reception of isomers individually (alpha-tocoferol acetate, which is sold in pharmacies) leads to the destruction of its other components and does not provide benefits to the body.In the seeds of the pumpkin, vitamin E is contained with full force in a well absorbed way.Regular product intake effectively restores and protects prostate cells.
- Phytosterols (plant hormones), among which beta-styterol is especially important.This substance prevents the unofficial growth (proliferation) of the prostate cells by suppressing the activity of dihydrotestosterone.
- Minerals: iron (at 100 g of almost 100% of the daily standard), copper, selenium, potassium, cobalt, zinc.
- A Vitamins Complex of Group V.
- Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (omega-6, linoleic, oleic).
- Chlorophyll is a substance with antibacterial properties, anti -inflammatory and regenerative (restoration).With bacterial prostatitis, it is taken in the form of tablets.
Zinc is especially important for the health of the prostate gland, since it regulates the activity of dihydrotestosterone -hormone, under the influence of prostate cells begin to grow (hyperplasia develops).The prostate contains more zinc than in any other organ.With its deficiency, the gland cell membrane becomes vulnerable, local immunity decreases.
