Pumpkin seeds have a super property!
Just 2 tablespoons daily. Best absorbed when soaked and prepared as plant-based milk. You can drink it plain, or add it to smoothies or soups.
Pumpkin seeds contain L-arginine.
This is one of the conditionally essential amino acids (for children under 12, it is an essential amino acid).
L-arginine is one of the most important amino acids when it comes to supporting hair and hair health.
Health benefits of L-arginine:
1. Improved Circulation: Nitric oxide, which is formed from L-arginine, may promote blood vessel dilation and better blood flow. This can help lower blood pressure and ensure more efficient heart function (MDPI, 2022).
2. Metabolism Regulation: L-arginine can help regulate carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, making it potentially beneficial for people with diabetes or those seeking to improve their metabolism (Szlas et al., 2022).
3. Immune System Boost: This amino acid can aid wound healing and support proper immune system function.
4. Athletic Performance: Studies show that L-arginine can help improve physical endurance and muscle growth by promoting protein synthesis.
5. Anti-inflammatory: This amino acid has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce chronic inflammation.
