Pygeum is extracted from the bark of the African Cherry tree. It is widely taken because of its known benefits for the prostate, kidney health and general inflammation.
It is regarded as one of the most effective herbal treatments for prostate problems. It is effective at reducing the number of times men need to urinate, which includes reducing night urination and helping better sleep. It also reduces dribbling urination.
More recent tests have shown that it may have treat enlarged or swollen prostates. It is a strong anti-inflammatory, but pygeum also seems to reduce the rate of prostate cell growth. It also appears to reduce the risk of prostate cancer, so urgent further tests are being made.
I would recommend a daily supplement of pygeum.
