Pygeum (Prunus africana) bark extract, 200 mg per capsule, standardized to 13% phytosterols 26 mg of phytosterols per capsule. One of the most studied botanical extracts for prostate and urinary health in men, with over 50 years of use in European phytotherapy.

The Botanical

Prunus africana (syn. Pygeum africanum), commonly called African cherry, is a large evergreen tree in the Rosaceae family native to the montane forests of sub Saharan Africa including the highlands of Cameroon, Madagascar, Kenya, and Uganda. Its bark has been used in traditional African herbal medicine for generations for menโ€™s urinary and prostate health. Pygeum bark extract became widely used in European phytotherapy in the 1960s and is now one of the most clinically studied botanical extracts for prostate and urinary health support in men.

Phytosterols The Primary Bioactives

The primary bioactive constituents of Pygeum bark are phytosterols plant derived sterol compounds structurally similar to cholesterol. In Pygeum bark, the principal phytosterols are beta sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol. Beta sitosterol is the most abundant and most studied, and is considered the primary compound responsible for Pygeumโ€™s prostate and urinary health supporting properties.

Beta-sitosterol supports prostate health through several complementary mechanisms: inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase (the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, the primary androgen responsible for prostate tissue growth), modulation of prostaglandin synthesis in prostate tissue, and inhibition of growth factor binding to prostate cell receptors. These combined actions support normal prostate size and urinary flow.

Standardization to 13% phytosterols ensures 26 mg of phytosterols in every 200 mg capsule a consistent, verified dose regardless of natural variation in the raw bark between harvest seasons.

Clinical Research

Pygeum africana extract for the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia: a systematic review and quantitative meta-analysis

American Journal of Medicine, 2000

This systematic review and meta-analysis analyzed 18 randomized controlled trials involving 1,562 men supplementing with Prunus africana bark extract. The analysis found that Pygeum africana significantly improved urinary flow measures and reduced nocturia compared to placebo. The authors concluded that Pygeum africana extract provides measurable improvements in urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Phytosterols in Pygeum africana bark extract and their role in urinary tract health

Phytomedicine, 1995

This study characterized the phytosterol fraction of Prunus africana bark extract including beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol and examined their biological activity in relation to urinary tract and prostate tissue. The research identified phytosterols as the primary bioactive compounds responsible for Pygeum's traditional use in men's urinary health, supporting the rationale for standardization to a guaranteed phytosterol percentage.

A double blind study of Pygeum africanum extract in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia

Current Therapeutic Research, 1990

This randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial administered standardized Prunus africana bark extract to men experiencing urinary symptoms and measured urinary flow rate, residual urine volume, and symptom scores over the study period. The study found that Pygeum africana supplementation significantly improved urinary flow and reduced residual urine volume compared to placebo, supporting its traditional herbal medicine use for urinary tract health in men.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pygeum 200mg and what is it used for?

Pygeum (Prunus africana) is a bark extract traditionally used in herbal medicine to support urinary tract health in men. A standardized Pygeum 200mg supplement provides 200mg of Prunus africana bark extract per capsule, guaranteed to contain a minimum of 13% phytosterols the primary naturally occurring compounds in Pygeum bark. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use.

What does standardized to 13% phytosterols mean in a Pygeum supplement?

Standardization means every batch is tested and verified to contain a minimum of 13% phytosterols the key naturally occurring compounds in Prunus africana bark. This ensures consistent potency from capsule to capsule. Non-standardized Pygeum extracts may have variable phytosterol content with no guaranteed minimum per dose.

How do you take a Pygeum 200mg supplement?

The typical recommended dose is 1 vegan capsule per day, providing 200mg of standardized Prunus africana bark extract (13% phytosterols). A 120 capsule bottle provides a 4 month supply at this dose. Take with food or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

Who should consult a healthcare practitioner before taking Pygeum?

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are taking prescription medications for urinary or prostate conditions (such as alpha-blockers or 5-alpha reductase inhibitors), have a hormone-sensitive condition, are scheduled for surgery, or have a diagnosed prostate related condition. Not intended for use by women or children. Keep out of reach of children.

Can Pygeum be taken with other men's health supplements like Saw Palmetto or Pumpkin Seed Oil?

Pygeum is commonly taken alongside other natural health products such as Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) and Pumpkin Seed Oil (Cucurbita pepo) as part of a daily men's wellness routine. Consult a healthcare practitioner before combining natural health products, particularly if you are taking prescription medications, to ensure there are no interactions relevant to your individual health needs.

What should I look for when choosing a Pygeum supplement?

Look for a Pygeum supplement that is standardized to a guaranteed phytosterol percentage (ideally 13%), uses a vegan hypromellose capsule (not gelatin), is free from gluten, soy, and artificial additives, and is licensed by Health Canada as a natural health product (NPN). These markers indicate a clean-label, consistent-potency product suitable for long term daily use.
