Pumpkin seed pill shows promise for bladder control in small study
NCT ID NCT07571616
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a pumpkin seed supplement (NatureU Pelvic Health) in 19 women aged 35–55 with urinary frequency and leakage. Participants took two tablets daily for 7 days. Results showed improvements in toileting behavior and quality of life, but the study was small and had no placebo group, so more research is needed.
