I've heard zinc can help with acne so that would make sense. And now that I think of it, couple summers ago I pigged out on raw pumpkin seeds for like three weeks, and during those three weeks my acne practically cleared up. Didn't even realize the correlation but I remember those few weeks of nice skin well.

Thank you ShakeShake. I know what I'll be scoffing this weekend!

This is neat to hear, my husband and I picked up a bunch of unsalted pumpkin seeds and I've been eating them in my salads for the past few days, who knew they could help with acne! Thanks for the post : )

Eating RAW Pumpkins seeds is certainly a delight for my taste buds. Keeps hunger down.

Well I've been scoffing for 4 days now...I just know it's doing me good (positive thinking)

I got mine from Morrisons supermarket in UK.

I think this may have to do with the fact that pumpkin seeds have a high zinc content. Have you ever tried taking a chelated zinc supplement? I know that pumpkin seeds can get rather boring quickly (especially if you're having them everyday).

Hi Guys,

from a Long Time Cystic Acne Sufferer(almost 10 years), I know how skeptic of what I'm about to say.

 

My acne has gotten really bad last year, and I finally went on accutane. I was acne free for the 6 months i was on it. I was really happy something finally worked! My acne came back around February right when I ended my accutane cycle. I was really depressed, because I thought that was the only thing that would've work for me and it didn't.

 

 

 

I started eating RAW unsalted Pumpkin seeds on a daily basis to help with my prostate/kidney. I read online that it helps with emptying your bladder. Every time I urinate I would still feel some of the pee not coming out. Like it was stuck in my bladder. Little did I know my acne started going away within days. My Face was still oily as ever but all of my blackhead/cyst/acne was GONE. Not only that I didn't have that same feeling in my bladder after I urinate.

 

 

 

It's been almost 4 months now and I'M STILL ACNE FREE! I still have my pitted/box car scars, but the pigmentation ones have all faded away. I've been really happy these last few months and I still eat them on a daily basis. I don't know if my acne was caused by "zinc" deficiency or a weak kidney, but my acne is totally gone.

 

 

 

I thought I share this with you guys, because I know exactly how you feel. Just try it, pumpkin seeds are very cheap at your local market. The unsalted ones aren't very tasty at all, but you'll get use to the taste/texture after a few days.

 

 

 

Good Luck, I really hope you guys try it out!

 

(by the way don't think the Zinc pills are the same, because I use to take them and it didn't "work")

BUMP>

Interesting post. Are u still clear SShakeShake? How much of these seeds would you say you eat per day? Do you need to continue to eat them?

Awesome to hear!!! I'm gonna head to the health food store now! Worth a shot. Thanks for sharing this with us.

If the seed is helping your bladder, then is not the zinc that helps your acne, is the natural composition of the pumpkin seed that inhibits DHT .... meaning, it helps balance your hormonal fury. Something similar to SAW Palmetto. Hope it is true!

How many or how many ounces of these do you eat? I just bought some and will try to get my son to eat them, but I'm not sure how much. I don't want him to over do it since they are high in fat.

Didnt really work for me guys. I feel it helped a bit especially initially and I like to eat them. I think its just the zinc and good fats in them though, nothing magical about them in terms of a treatment.

Have you heard about eating for your blood type? If you're type o, and you probably are, you need a lot of animal protein, walnuts and pumpkin seeds. It all this with green vegetables like broccoli, kale, spinach, ... and you'll never have acne again. I've been avoiding meat for so long, today I ate 4 eggs and one large beef and I feel better than ever. It's all about what you're designed to eat. It may be the zinc, of course, as most of us are zinc deficient.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I'll put pumpkin seeds in my diet as I need some fat.

How many seeds did you eat a day and for how long?
