Why supplement?

✓

Phytosterols and urinary comfort

The seed oil carries phytosterols such as β-sitosterol. Mild BPH trials watch nocturia frequency and flow scores. The setting is nutritional discussion of daytime urinary effort, assessed over four to eight weeks. Sterols and unsaturated fat sit in the oil phase; the endpoint is urinary scales, not a substitute for surgery.

Seed unsaturated fat

Linoleic and oleic acids make up most of the oil, supplying calories and membrane lipid. Use is still understood through prostate-comfort trials. The seed kernel contains zinc; pressed oil carries almost none, so the oil is not a zinc supplement. Ongoing use is a fat serving and counts toward daily fat and calories.
