Our milk is made exclusively from Cucurbita Argyrosperma pumpkin seeds, a high seed content variety native to the Mayan region of Central America. These seeds have been sustainably cultivated since ancient times, reflecting a rich heritage of agricultural practices.
Rich in Magnesium:
Pumpkin seeds are one of the best natural sources of magnesium, a mineral crucial for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including energy production, DNA synthesis, and muscle function. Magnesium also plays a vital role in regulating sleep and reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes (Dr. Axe) (Webmedy).
High in Tryptophan:
These seeds are packed with tryptophan, an essential amino acid that the body converts into serotonin and melatonin, hormones that regulate mood and sleep. Consuming pumpkin seeds can help improve sleep quality and duration, promoting overall well-being (QualityDME) (Dr. Axe).
Packed with Antioxidants:
Pumpkin seeds are rich in antioxidants, including vitamin E and carotenoids, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. This antioxidant activity supports overall health and can reduce the risk of chronic diseases (Dr. Axe) (Webmedy).
Heart Health:
The high levels of magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats in pumpkin seeds contribute to heart health. Magnesium helps regulate blood pressure, zinc supports arterial health, and the healthy fats can help lower bad cholesterol levels and increase good cholesterol (Dr. Axe).
Immune Support:
Zinc is crucial for immune function, and pumpkin seeds are a great source of this essential mineral. Adequate zinc intake can enhance immune response and reduce the duration of colds (Dr. Axe) (Webmedy).
Bone Health:
The significant amount of magnesium in pumpkin seeds is also essential for bone formation and maintenance. Regular consumption can help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis (Dr. Axe).
