plzdisappearacne 2 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I recently had a bad breakout from taking Saw Palmetto and it left ugly red marks on my cheeks. I have been eating a small handful of organic raw pumpkin seeds everyday and my skin looks smoother. Has anyone's skin cleared up from eating pumpkin seeds? Is it good for balancing hormones?

SuaveDory 10 Share Posted January 22, 2018 YES!!!!! Pumpkin seeds are EXTREMELY rich in zinc and are also rich in OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS which acts as a precursor of prostaglandins (which is a hormone responsible for inflammation and blood flow!!! Thanks for the reminder it's actually a good snack and alternative for those that do not like taking the mineral Zinc (can cause nausea and cramps) or omega capsules!!!

I just read that it's anti androgenic which is perfect for me because I have PCOS! I have been consuming more healthy fats and my skin looks a lot better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xoxoem 5 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Raw pumpkin seeds are also a great anti-parasitic! I have heard a lot of talk about how parasites can lead to acne... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
