How does Pumpkin Powder support eye and skin health?

One heaped tablespoon (10 g) gives about three days’ worth of vitamin A, thanks to its high beta-carotene. Human studies using a similar daily dose for 12 weeks found clearer night vision and a “healthy glow” as skin carotenoid levels rose. Antioxidants also help skin cope with sun stress.

Claim strength: High

Scale—High = multiple human RCTs; Moderate = limited trials; Emerging = lab/animal only.

Is the glycaemic impact suitable for keto-friendly baking?

Yes. Ten grams add only 5 g net carbs but plenty of fibre, so blood-sugar spikes stay modest. Cupcakes made with 10 % pumpkin powder showed 20 % lower glucose rise than the same cakes without it.

Claim strength: Emerging

Can pumpkin polysaccharides aid gut health?

Pumpkin’s natural pectin swells in the stomach and feeds gut bacteria that make satiety hormones. In a small study, 8 g pumpkin pectin a day cut snack cravings by 15 % after four weeks.

Claim strength: Moderate

Electrolyte benefits for athletes?

Ten grams pack 650 mg potassium—more than two bananas—and slow-release carbs to refill muscle glycogen. Cyclists who used potato- and pumpkin-based carbs bounced back as fast as those on commercial gels.

Claim strength: High

Colour stability in baked goods?

Beta-carotene is heat-tough. Less than 10 % is lost in muffins baked 20 minutes at 180 °C, so your loaves keep that golden hue.

Claim strength: Moderate

Is the powder baby-food compliant?

The powder meets EU and Codex baby-food limits for heavy metals, nitrates and microbes. Always follow your local rules, but it’s a clean, allergen-free way to enrich infant purées.
