Pygeum is an extract made from the bark of the African cherry tree (Prunus africana). People have used it for generations to help maintain urinary and prostate health.
Men often take standardized pygeum in capsules or liquids to relieve bothersome BPH symptoms like frequent urination, sudden urges, and nighttime bathroom trips.
Some users notice mild stomach upset. Skip it or talk to a doctor if you have prostate cancer or a history of hormone sensitive conditions. Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety is unknown.
