How Pumpkin Seeds Bolster Immunity and Hormonal Health
Most people don’t realize how interconnected their immune and hormonal systems are, and pumpkin seeds nourish both.
Immune Support
Zinc plays a critical role in creating and activating T-cells, which are essential for a healthy immune response.
