Pygeum Extract, derived from the bark of the African plum tree (Prunus africana), is used in herbal medicine to support prostate health, particularly in managing symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It helps reduce urinary frequency, improve urine flow, and decrease nighttime urination. The extract also has anti-inflammatory properties that may alleviate swelling and irritation in the urinary tract. Key components include phytosterols such as beta-sitosterol and ferulic acid esters. Commonly taken as a dietary supplement in capsule or tablet form, and often combined with other herbs like saw palmetto.
