Pumpkin seed Extract

1. Improve cardiovascular disease
High plasma cholesterol is the main cause of heart disease. Animal fat in the diet can increase plasma cholesterol content, which is an important factor leading to arteriosclerosis and inducing heart disease. Pumpkin seed protein does not contain cholesterol and can replace animal protein.
According to the research results of the 1998 Nobel Prize winner in medicine, arginine in protein is a prerequisite for the synthesis of nitric oxide in the body. Pumpkin seed protein powder has sufficient arginine content. Supplementing pumpkin seed protein can promote the synthesis of nitric oxide, dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure, improve heart and brain blood supply, enhance blood vessel wall elasticity, and effectively prevent cardiovascular disease.
2. Improve the body's immunity
Pumpkin seed protein can promote the synthesis of immunoglobulins and effectively enhance humoral immunity; it can also increase T lymphocyte proliferation and enhance cellular immune response; it can also promote the release of multiple endocrine hormones, including insulin, growth hormone, prolactin, antidiuretic hormone, and catecholamines, to achieve the role of regulating immunity.
3. Improve male ability
Pumpkin seed protein has the effect of improving sperm motility, improving sperm quality, promoting sperm fertilization ability, and providing kinetic energy for sperm movement. Arginine in pumpkin seed protein is not only involved in sperm formation, but also a basic component of various nuclear proteins in sperm. It can also dilate arteries through the nitric oxide pathway. Based on this, Pfizer in the United States has developed a drug called "Viagra" to treat impotence.
4. Promote muscle synthesis
Pumpkin seed protein is different from ordinary plant protein. It contains a large amount of glutamic acid. Glutamic acid is first synthesized into glutamine in the human body. Experimental studies have shown that glutamine can increase muscle cell volume, stimulate muscle protein synthesis, improve muscle vitality, and make muscles grow. At present, whey protein is mostly used as a raw material for muscle-building powder in the market, but whey protein is an animal protein and is not suitable for vegetarians. In addition, whey protein contains milk allergens, while pumpkin seed protein is a plant protein and does not contain any allergens. People with allergic constitutions can eat it with peace of mind.
5. Antioxidant
Enzymatic hydrolysis of pumpkin seed protein to obtain enzymatic hydrolyzate, the DPPH clearance rate is 83.47%, so hydrolyzed pumpkin seed protein has antioxidant effects.
6. Diabetes
Pumpkin polysaccharides, protein components with molecular weight greater than 60 ku and less than 3 ku can significantly increase the insulin level of diabetic rats. The protein components with molecular weight of 3 to 60 ku have the best hypoglycemic effect. They can not only significantly reduce the fasting blood glucose
