Pumpkin Seed Extract
Part of our Herbal Extracts range, manufactured and exported by Arizone International LLP.
Pumpkin Seed Extract is made from the seeds of Cucurbita pepo, the pumpkin species best known in Europe and North America. The seeds are nutty, green and full of oil, protein, minerals and plant sterols. That combination has made them a traditional men's health food in Central Europe and a common ingredient in modern supplements.
Arizone International manufactures, supplies and exports Pumpkin Seed Extract in powder, oil and protein forms for nutraceutical, food and cosmetic manufacturers.
About Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkins originated in the Americas, where their seeds were eaten thousands of years before the fruit spread around the world. In the Styria region of Austria, a special variety with hull-less seeds is grown to make a dark green pumpkin seed oil that is a regional speciality. In India, pumpkin (kaddu) is grown everywhere, and roasted pumpkin seeds, or magaz, are a common snack and an ingredient in sweets and thandai.
What Pumpkin Seeds Contain
- PhytosterolsIncluding beta-sitosterol and delta-7 sterols, which are the focus of most supplement research on pumpkin seed.
- Healthy FatsMainly linoleic and oleic acid.
- ProteinPumpkin seeds are protein-rich, making defatted seed flour a useful plant protein.
- MineralsEspecially zinc and magnesium, along with iron and phosphorus.
- CucurbitinAn amino acid unique to pumpkin seeds, traditionally linked to their use against intestinal worms.

- Mineral and zinc-rich food supplements
- Plant-based protein shakes and bars
- Hair-care supplements and scalp oils
- Moisturising creams, serums and massage oils

Quality and Storage
Because pumpkin seed products are oil-rich, the main quality concern is rancidity. We check peroxide value and acid value on oil and extract grades, as well as moisture, heavy metals and microbial counts. Store products in sealed, light-proof containers in a cool place, and use oils within their recommended shelf life after opening.
Tips for Buyers and Formulators
Pumpkin seed extract can mean a defatted protein powder, a standardised extract or a cold-pressed oil, so state the form you need. For men's wellness capsules, many brands pair it with saw palmetto, lycopene or zinc.
Ask for fatty acid profile or phytosterol content on the COA if you are making oil-based softgels, and store the oil cool and away from light.
