Pygeum africanum Extract is a standardized botanical concentrate derived from the bark of Prunus africana (Syn. Pygeum africanum), an evergreen tree native to the high-altitude forests of central and southern Africa. It has been used traditionally by indigenous peoples for the treatment of urinary disorders and bladder discomfort. In modern herbal medicine, Pygeum africanum is widely recognized for its beneficial effects on prostate health and urinary function.

The primary bioactive components include:

• Phytosterols (β-sitosterol, β-sitosterol glucoside): Modulate inflammation and support healthy urinary flow.

• Triterpenes (ursolic acid, oleanolic acid): Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.

• Ferulic acid esters: Inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, reducing inflammation.

• n-Docosanol: Supports cholesterol balance and anti-inflammatory activity.

Pygeum africanum extract works through multiple mechanisms, including inhibition of 5α-reductase, reduction of inflammatory mediators, and modulation of androgen metabolism. It is one of the most clinically studied herbal ingredients for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and is supported by numerous clinical trials demonstrating improvements in urinary symptoms and quality of life.

Pygeum africanum Extract is widely used in dietary supplements, herbal formulations, and functional foods targeting prostate health, urinary tract health, and male wellness.
