Dr MB’s PYGEUM AFRICANUM
20:1 Extract giving an equivalent to 4000mg of Natural whole wood
What is Pygeum Africanum?
Pygeum, also known as African cherry, African plum, African prune, and red stinkwood, is derived from the bark of the Prunus africana tree. Used for centuries in traditional medicine, Pygeum has been recognized for its ability to support:
✅ Prostate & Bladder Health – Reduces BPH symptoms and supports urinary flow
✅ Anti-Inflammatory Effects – Helps combat inflammation and oxidative stress
✅ Hormonal Balance – Regulates dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to prevent prostate enlargement
✅ Sexual Health – May improve seminal fluid composition and reproductive function
✅ Kidney & Urinary Support – Traditionally used for bladder issues and kidney health
Rich in Powerful Bioactive Compounds
Pygeum’s bark extract contains key natural compounds:
• Triterpenes – Ursolic, Oleanolic, and Crataegolic acids (anti-inflammatory)
• Phytosterols – Beta-Sitosterol (supports prostate & hormone balance)
• Ferulic Acid Esters – Protects reproductive and endocrine function
• Fatty Acids & Tannins – Supports overall wellness
Science-Backed Benefits of Pygeum Africanum
Here’s what research tells us about pygeum benefits:
1. High in Antioxidants and Anti-Inflammatory Compounds
Based on available studies, pygeum is known to have antioxidant, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiestrogenic effects. This means that it as the ability to help prevent free radical damage, oxidative stress, infections, pain caused by inflammation and potentially even some types of cancer.
The bark from the pygeum tree in particular is high in protective compounds, including:
- Triterpenes, such as ursolic, oleanolic and crataegolic acids
- Fatty acids
- Ferulic acid esters
- N-tetracosanol and n-docosanol
- Phytosterols, such as beta-sitosterol, beta-sitosterone and campesterol
- Tannins
2. Can Help Treat and BPH and Prostatitis
Extracts made with pygeym have been used by urologists, especially in Africa, the U.S. and Europe, for the treatment of enlarged prostate in men with BPH. Powdered pygeum bark has also long been utilised in traditional systems of medicine that originated in African tribes to treat a various prostate, urinary and bladder problems.
This plant extract has been shown in several studies to help improve urinary and bladder control symptoms associated with prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) — such as symptoms of nocturnal frequency, difficulty in initiating urination and false sensations of bladder fullness compared with placebo.
These effects seem to be due to the plant’s ability to prevent binding of dihydrotestosterone in the prostate gland. Other proposed mechanisms include inactivation of androgen receptors, inhibition of cellular growth factors, anti-inflammatory activity and phytoestrogenic actions that can all reduce prostate gland size.
Additionally, it seems to help improve bladder elasticity and blocks accumulation of cholesterol in the prostate due to the effects of fat-soluble components.
Does pygeum prevent prostate cancer?
Some studies have found that P. africana extract can help inhibit prostatic fibroblast proliferation, which can contribute to prostate cancer development. It seems capable of stopping the growth of both androgen insensitive and androgen sensitive cells, inducing apoptosis, and down-regulating estrogen receptor expression in cells, which may all reduce the risk for prostate cancer.
Findings from certain studies indicate that beta-sitosterol may be responsible for pygeum’s effects against prostatic adenomas, since beta-sitosterol can positively affect membrane structures and growth of tumors.
In one study conducted on mice, the mice fed P. africana extract for five months experienced a significant reduction in the incidence of prostate cancer compared with mice fed casein protein.
3. May Help Improve Sexual Function
Does pygeum increase seminal fluid? One study found that pygeum extract helped improve seminal fluid composition, and some research suggests it can support healthy sexual function, especially in men.
Pygeum’s anti-inflammatory properties seem to give it the ability to exert protective effects in the reproductive organs against free radical damage, including the prostate and bladder.
🔥 Improve seminal fluid composition
🔥 Support hormone balance & reproductive function
🔥 Protect against oxidative stress in reproductive organs
Research has shown that this plant contains ferulic acid ester, fatty acids and other components that may be responsible for pygeum’s endocrine system activity.
