Q: is pumpkin seed oil aka cucurbita pepo of 1000mg safe for pkd?

: Since the FDA doesn't investigate supplements clinicians are reluctant to endorse them for fear of contaminants, interactions with your meds, aggravation of existing physical disorders, uncertainty of safe dosing &amp; no good proof of efficacy. Your pharmacist may have information about this supplement..Mention your polycystic kidney disorder.
