Pygeum
Pygeum Africanum is a large evergreen tree found in central and southern Africa. The extracts from the pygeum bark contain several compounds thought to be helpful in prostate health and to control urinary disorders in men.
Today, pygeum is a popular herbal supplement in several parts of the world for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause urination problems. This harmless condition affects most men over age 50, commonly causing urinary problems. Pygeum has been approved for treating mild to moderate BPH in Europe since the early 1970s. Pygeum bark appears to work by reducing inflammation, promoting urination, and ridding the prostate of cholesterol deposits that can occur with BPH. Symptoms of prostate problems may ease as a result.
Pygeum’s use in treating impotence and male infertility has also been explored.
