WHAT DOES IT DO?
According to the manufacturer:
Reprinted with permission of Life Extension.
"Aging individuals frequently encounter a weakening of the bladder and its sphincter muscle that controls the release of urine. Laboratory and human clinical studies demonstrate that ingestion of water-soluble pumpkin seed extract with soy isoflavones can significantly improve the structural support of the bladder and the function of the sphincter muscle.
The data supporting the value of water-soluble pumpkin seed extract with soy isoflavones is particularly strong in studies performed in women. A clinical study of aging men also demonstrated positive results.
The pumpkin seed has a long history of use in helping to maintain healthy bladder function. Japanese scientists have patented a method to obtain the water-soluble constituents of the pumpkin seed, which are absorbed far more efficiently into the bloodstream. These water-soluble pumpkin seed extracts appear to be the active constituents which help with the urinary discomforts endured by so many maturing women and men.
Clinical studies of women and men have used capsules containing 262 mg water-soluble pumpkin seed extract and 50 mg of soy isoflavones taken two times each day. Maximum benefits occur after six to eight weeks of continued use.
Based on the remarkable and consistent clinical results, Life Extension is making the identical Japanese formula used in the human studies available to its members for the first time."
