Pygeum Africanum

🌱 What it is

Pygeum africanum is the same African cherry bark extract as pygeum, standardized for its plant sterols.

📜 Where it comes from

This standardized extract shares the same traditional African roots as plain pygeum, drawn from the bark of the African cherry tree long used by traditional healers across the African continent for urinary and prostate discomfort. Western herbal manufacturers later refined the extract to concentrate its plant sterols, building on this long-standing traditional use as it entered modern supplement markets.

✨ Why it's good for you

• May support urinary comfort
• Traditional adjunct for prostate health
• Simple daily supplement

🥄 How to use it

Take about 25 mg of standardized extract daily, or as directed on the product label, only as a supportive supplement alongside medical care.

How much: About 25 mg daily, or as directed on the product label.

Why it works: May help modulate hormone activity linked to prostate tissue swelling; it is not a treatment for prostate cancer itself.
