Pumpkin Seed Oil for Hair Loss (24 Week Experiment) 

You can see all my experiments and before/after pictures to date on my website 9to5strength.com/hair-growth-self-experiments/

Thank you for doing this, we owe you. Saved some of us 6 months time

Quick to the point, all info presented. Great video!

Wow, I’m sad to hear that. I’ve been taking it for six months and I can vouch that it works. I take bio tin, collagen and pumpkin seed, and it has done amazing job.

Great video. To the point. Good before and after pics.

Thank you for showing us a fantastic example. Still looking into the the dht effects as well

So helpful! Glad to come across ur channel

I subscribed. Your channel is amazing. Love the dedication!

Thanks for the self experiment! was wondering too

Those side effects are not from PSO. They are from Saw Palmetto oil.

You can also try eating pumpkin seeds, peanuts, eggs, black pepper and banana daily. Pumpkin seeds and peanuts block dht and banana, eggs and black pepper increase oxytocin which helps regulate hormone levels

thanks for the video!

Very thorough video

Strange you experienced an elevated blood pressure as this is commonly used to lower blood pressure

Thanks for the video you saved me a lot of time

As far as I know, it's only serve as a dht blocker, which causes the hair loss, so your hair loss won't get worse. But it cant derve as the hair growth stimulator. For this U need minoxidil.

Guys it wont work if we just take some random natural ingredients for block dht and never stick on one dht blocking cause it not finistride were those 1mg work literally for block dht but for natural ingredients most of them mixed wif multiple others mineral so that why most of natural dht blocker contain multiple different natural ingredients rather than one

I'm no scientist or derm. but from what i've heard you have to use it topically on your scalp in order for it to work. When applied to the scalp it absorbs into the hair follicles and blocks DHT that way.

I wonder if topical works better

You are saying that pumpkin seed oil doesn't work, but pumpkin seed powder might work.

Which brand is best ..?

i think it only works if you are just starting to have hair loss?

now it is time for you to try dermapen and rosemary oil.

try topical less side effects more directed to your scalp

will it work for alopecia

I like all your golden information ty 😊 for sharing ❤

It works if you take both orally and externally

Can you clarify at what time pumpkin seed oil is taken, what is the daily dose, and can it be taken with dietary supplements for hair

Interesting. I’m female and have been struggling with hair loss for the past several years due almost certainly to to poorly controlled hypothyroidism (I have difficulty with the meds). Microneedling was really helpful but I had to stop a year ago due to unrelated issues, and my hair loss been terrible since then w a receding (receded) hairline and miniaturization of follicles in the crown area. Got a high quality PSO and have been taking it a FEW DAYS (granted more than the study - about .5-1 tsp/day, which I believe is upwards of 2000-4000 mg ) and I’m already seeing my temple area fill in?! Going to cut back in the dose now that I’ve researched and know studied safe doses are 400-1000mg, but it seems almost miraculous to me. I should note that in the past week I also started taking zinc and low dose selenium, and started applying 10% niacinamide to my hairline, but I highly doubt those could have such drastic effects so quickly even if they play a role. Going to stop the topical niacinamide so I can ascertain for sure whether the result is from PSO or that.

Where did you find information saying that it increases blood pressure? I have only found reports showing that it decreases blood pressure compared to a placebo group.

I'm so sorry if you've already done a video on this, I'm driving and using Google Assistant to comment so I can't search through all of your videos right now, but the red clover extract I believe has been proven to being a DHT blocker. Have you tried infusing an oil with that or drinking / rinsing with the tea made of it?

How can buy?

You need kelp powder, only 1/8 of a teaspoon every morning will stop hair fall.

Can help regrowth new hyon baldness air.plese reply.

Pumpkin seed oil was a study based on oral consumption a pill. Which had other ingredients like red clove in it. Rosemary oil was done using the topical and it worked a bit better than minoxidil. So applying the pumpkin seed oil to your hair might not do anything

Fisetin is a polyphenol and has been shown to promote hair regrowth. Maybe it was the polyphenol in the original study.

Well, maybe someone here can share their experience in using pumpkin seed oil in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia?

What about topical ?

Try the detumescence therapy exersices, i heard you can have great results for your hair regrowth on your bald spots.

High ast and alt is a sign of liver damage.

Did you use it topically? That is where the results come from

Rosemary also directly raises blood pressure. Likely where your headache may have stemmed from. Polyphenols are an excellent antioxidant in the right concentrations. Teas, chocolates and wine are rich in these.

pumpkin seed oil on the hair grows the hair not eating it. try the research again that way that is how we grow our hair

Did you apply it directly to your scalp? I think this make have helped a lot more versus taken it orally.

I found pumpkin seed oil 2000mg a day has halted my hair loss no regrowth but it seems to have stopped it in its track

I am thinking of taking directly pumpkin seeds + apply pumpkin seed oil. Did you use pumpkin seed topically?

did it at least help with BPH?

Can you use pumpking seed oil topically directly to the scalp??

Pumpkin seed oil and the unsaturated fatty acids actually do help with dht blocking just not in the same way as finisteride, along with inflammation that causes your body to send signals to calcify those areas so no it’s not as powerful as medication for hair loss but from research I’ve looked at, the benefits from taking pumpkin seed oil show a slow and lower level of dht, you can clearly see improvement in his pictures so I’m confused on how he’s saying there’s no effect, not a huge difference but easy to tell it helped him. It’s not a cure all and gonna get your 15 year old hairline back but you definitely don’t look as thin as you did in the beginning

Have you tried Derma rolling with real 192 needles? 1.0-1.5 mm. With the oils like rosemary. I hear that helps a lot. So many people rave about it. Hope that helps.

You did a very detailed and thorough video. I hear that pumpkin seed does help with alopecia and hair loss. But I think it's a combination of applying oil to the scalp area as well as taking the pumpkin seed oil internally ,for inflammation that causes the hair loss. Thanks for sharing this review.

Respect to you sir

Took pso 1000 mg twice a day and it’s been 3 weeks. I see my hair growing faster and thicker and new fine growth on my hairline. There’s more growth on top of my head for sure. I’ll keep taking it 2x a day for 1 more week then maybe reduce to once a day 4x a week then maybe do the topical on those days. I started taking it mainly for my prostate.

Thank you sir

Hey there, can you please clarify where you saw there was a connection between taking PSO and having severe back pain? It is not mentioned in the article referenced and I did a thorough search on google and saw no such adverse effect discussed in relation to ingestion of PSO. Asking because I recently started using PSO but have been waking up in the morning with back pain the past few days, and remembered seeing that listed in this video, and I would really like to better understand what is going on. It could be a coincidence and I’m going to do some experimentation but would appreciate if you could clarify - mention of back pain is literally no where to be found except in this video!

Not topical?

Pumpkin seed oil on its own is maybe not enough, I'm taking a supplement thats combined pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto and zinc, I'm also using an essential oils topical treament and a derma roller :)

It's natural, no harm,. All these people praising the chemical concoction that is Finasteride or minoxidil for hair growth, yet there are multiple videos on RU-vid about how neither Finasteride or minoxidil worked for them, after daily use, for up to a year. So some people's scalp will not be stimulated for growth whether is PSO or Finasteride, it just doesn't work on some people --- Same with this very short little study he did.

Thank you!

So, pumpkin seed oil for hair loss seems to have worked. There was hair loss. What we really need, is something that is good for hair growth, rather than for hair loss.

Nice video.

I made coffee / castor oil and pumpkin seed oil mix on week 3 and little hairs coming in.

which is better for hairloss pumpkin seed oil or saw palmetto???

Might have to be absorbed with another nutrient. Most nutrients work better when paired for an increase in absorption.

You need to add the oil to your shampoo It will work better that way verses consuming it

Gorilla Grow Its flowers are robust and completely covered in a thick, sticky resin

I though it helps prevent new hair loss and not necessarily regrow hair. Its a DHT blocker.

The Korean study in 2014 from which ALL these RU-vid videos quote from DID NOT indicated any hair loss for any of the 76 participants in the 24-week study, so I don't know how this dude, who at such young age shows already kind of aggressive hair loss, experienced further hair fall from taking a natural oil supplement, while his biometrics show very questionable measures.

Back in the day I took GNC ultra nourish hair and Shen Min dht blocker and I noticed a difference in hair on top. I didn't take pictures but I wish I did. I stopped taking the dht blocker because of side effects. So maybe pumpkin seed oil with nourish hair may make a difference.

Creatine level 1,36 is too much. Maximum level in healthy people between 0,8 - 1,2. What about your BUN(Blood Urea Nitrogen) value? Do you drink enough water every day? Do you have healthy diet?

IDK about hair loss, but I love pumpkin seed oil as a dressing for any type of salad, beats olive oil in every way, it's so delicious.

Thank you very much for this Video!!!!

Thanks for the video. You've saved me money, time and effort. I'll just stick with the Waterman's hair products for now. Cheers mate!

I take a saw palmetto supplement which also contains pumpkin seed oil, but I also drink organic pumpkin seed oil as well every night before bed. Within four months I've noticed that my hair has thickened. In fact, friends have asked me did I have hair restoration surgery, lol. Not sure if it works for others, but it is working for me.

Can I ask where you purchased the oil and details about the oil.

Try Peppermint essential oil

Pumpkin seed helped my hairloss a lot

thank you

From what I'm seeing online, individuals get results through topical application of this oil.

I can see some improvements bro..

is it working for hair fall or not?

Omg!! My hair is falling even more now after taking the capsules you are righttt

I used pumpkin seed oil along with vitamin d and biotin supplements. Helped me regrow a lot of hair. Will post my own progress video soon if anyone is interested. Also, why did you store them in the fridge? I kept mine in a cabinet.

There’s a difference between taking pills, and applying oil on your scalp. You should try applying pumpkin seed oil directly to your scalp!

I'm sorry but am I blind or smh? Your hair does look fuller in the 24 weeks. You even have some new hairs on the crown area which you didn't have before. Maybe you're just very slow to the pumpkin seed. Some people have seen no improvements even using finasteride for a year. Maybe you should've continued for more than just 24 weeks.

for me (NOW saw palmetto+pumpkin seed oil supplement)worked tremendously but i had a really nasty side effect of developing man boobs. Which I thankfully stopped in time...i did it again after 1 year (had ONLY Saw Palmetto and *NO* pumpkin seed oil) and again same effect; stops hairloss completely but starts inducing manboobs. so i just have pumpkin oil left to experiment on with. (which i am guessing/praying that it wont cause my chest to enlarge and actually reduce my hair loss like Saw Palmetto) I can in no way try finasteride given its extreme side effects once you stop it; same goes for minoxidil. Hair loss is honestly really depressing and I wish there is a proper cure for Male Pattern Baldness (Alopecia) in the near future; don't feel too optimistic about it though, sighs. I'll try to post my results on consuming 500mg pumpkin seed oil once a day.(dont wanna overdo this and cause a same side effect that I got out of using saw palmetto)

U still look good dont worry about your hair. But i do understand

But you need to apply it topically 😭

To avoid side effects buy pumkin seeds & extract oil from it. Take 400-500 mg daily. I'm doing the same. I pressed 3kg seeds at once because oil extractor man refused to extract oil from few seeds. There is no any side effects.

And its also great for your prostate health especially in older men. We all know why we need a healthy prostate.

You are spot on! It does nothing for hair loss.

wrapping your hair at night is essential to growing in hair.

please try it again with biotin

Maybe you need more vitamin d or protein. Or maybe b12 or biotin. There’s a lot of reasons for why it didn’t work.

it cant regrow hair but it can prevent what is left from falling, try saw palmetto

Pumpkin seed oil is a dht blocker. Which reduces blood circulation in root of hair. Your hair will grow definitely.

I want vert code elite results!!

got the pumpkin seed oil , took teaspoon , got huge zits ! hair ???

that oil is good from parasites
