10 Supplements That May Help Reduce Nighttime Urination (And 5 That May Not)

Retraining my bladder has been very helpful for me. I try not to make frequent bathroom visits during the day. Many times, we go to bathroom for partially full bladder because of convenience.

Varuna (Crateva nurvala) worked for me. I also started taking pumpkin seed oil. I'm down to once at night instead of four times a night.

This study about Unox shows efficacy. < https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5793427/ > However, the possible effects of Crataeva lindera (horsetail) extract include increased urination and low potassium, and, with long-term use, vitamin B1 deficiency. How can we reconcile opposing effects? Low electrolyte levels can be expected with a diuretic like horsetail. That can lead to muscle cramps. I'm female, 76, and have both stress incontinence and get up at least 3 times a night to urinate, so I'm looking for solutions besides surgery.

I was getting up to urinate three times a night, and it was voluminous -- much more than I was urinating in the daytime. At the beginning of this article, sleep apnea was listed as a possible cause of nocturia. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, and the very first night I used a CPAP I did not need to get up once. Since then, I've learned that nocturia can be a symptom of sleep apnea just as feeling sleepy in the daytime. The CPAP has helped me in numerous other ways (more energy, better decision making, enhanced cognition).

Gemtesa (vibegron) 75 mgm daily extremely effective in urgency from bladder spasms and nocturia.

Is pumpkin seed oil as effective for women as it is for men in controlling nocturia?

Woman here. Started taking glycine a few months ago to help with sleeping. I've limited myself to 1 gram for now. I have definitely noticed that my nighttime urination frequency is much less. I used to use the bathroom maybe 3x a night (I never counted this but that's my guess); I'm now using it about 1x a night. I feel less urgency to go when I've woken up between sleep cycles, so feel more comfortable falling back asleep even knowing/feeling that there's some urine in my bladder.

I have been using NOW pumpkin seed oil, but a reviewer on Amazon complained about mold in the capsules (black spots). I started looking at the capsules I had and sure enough there was a blackish substance in it. Has Consumer Lab looked in to what is in the capsule that looks like mold? I have stopped taking them because they are not clear. I have no affiliation or interest in any particular brand of pumpkin see oil.

I have been taking 2000 mg of pumpkin seed oil for the past month or two. I have found that my urinary function has improved hugely and is not as good as it was 20 years ago. Sexual function has also improved dramatically.

I suffered from nocturia for many years and tried every supplement that Consumer Labs mentioned. None of these really helped. Someone suggested that I might benefit from pumpkin seed oil. I tried the capsules and they did help somewhat, but I found out I was not at the therapeutic dosage. I starting taking a tablespoon of pumpkin seed oil at night before bed. Wow, what a difference. Take a brand of Styrian pumpkin seed oil.

what about cornsilk? it is reputed to help with nocturia, I found it helpful, as well as glycine, which is briefly mentioned above. also, a study does support glycine as a remedy. yarrow has been used for centuries, too,

Im thinking about Axonic but i had rather use supplement to reduce frequent peeing day and night

Did anyone else start having nocturia problems after being put on a statin drug?

2 grams of pumpkin seed oil extract a day has helped me. 1st gel cap in the morning before eating and 2nd 1 gram gel cap with breakfast. I use the Now product.

I was having nocturia four times a night and started on Beta-Sitosterol and it did help ,maybe down to two times a night. I was taking Cranberry capsules three times a day but recently I switched to Cranberry softgels and it had immediate effect. Its been no times a night or just once after 7 hrs .
I take the CranRich Cranberry 500mg softgel and NOW 500mg Beta-Sitosterol softgel.

I take 60 mg of beta-sitosterol twice daily and usually get up once per night. Sometimes zero. Previously it was two to three.

I have significant BPH (75 cm postrate) and other symptoms but zero nocturia. For other things--like burning, hesitancy, slow riveretc.--I have found quercetin to be the only useful supplement. Point being, we each have to find what works for us personally, beyond what large studies show.

None of these so-called remedies and others have helped my nocturia.

It’s been a few years now so I don’t recall the dosage, but taking valerian root before bed greatly reduced the number of times I woke up to urinate. I used it for only a week or two before the problem disappeared entirely.

Frequent nighttime urination is also a symptom of sleep apnea. Now that I'm on CPAP therapy I no longer need to get up to the bathroom 5 times a night.

beta-sitosterol reduced my wake up time from 8 to 1 or even zero, but then it caused constipation. I was taking 375 mg/day and it took over a week to get results.
