Pumpkin seed oil may help treat hair loss in men. One study found people treated with pumpkin seed oil had an average increase in hair count of 40% after six months of treatment. Magnesium can also aid hair growth (and inadequate levels can cause hair loss) by preventing calcium buildup on the scalp that can clog the hair follicles and cause hair to fall out. A single ounce of pumpkin seeds contains 75% of the recommended daily amount of magnesium.
