According to a recent article in the medical journal Endocrine, “An extract from the bark of Pygeum africanum has been used in Europe as a prevention and treatment of prostate disorders including benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).”

The European interest in the all-natural bark of the African plum tree called Pygeum africanum, or Prunus africana, dates back to the 18th century when travelers from Europe acquired knowledge from South Africa regarding the benefits of pygeum bark for the urinary health of older men.  

The urinary problems associated with the natural process of aging common to most men, was once referred to as “old man’s disease.” Due to the aging process, the prostate can continually grow larger which can interfere with a normal urinary function.  In fact, 90% of men 80 years and older have some degree of prostate enlargement.  Men over age 40 are also at risk.

Interest in the use of pygeum bark and saw palmetto for prostate health has extended to the United States.  

Multiple clinical studies performed on pygeum bark from 1966-2000 prove that pygeum bark can produce a significant improvement for urinary health. Pygeum bark improves urinary function common to all men by affecting urine flow, urine volume, and the number of nightly visits to the bathroom.  According to the American Journal of Medicine, “Men were more than twice as likely to report an improvement in overall symptoms…”

Pygeum bark extract promotes urinary health multiple ways.  The prostate health benefits of pygeum bark are attributed to pygeum bark and not just one component of it.  Researchers have discovered that pygeum bark is comprised of multiple components and helps reduce swelling, inflammation, bladder sensitivity and the number of binding sites for DHT, a form of testosterone that is associated with prostate growth.

Scientific studies show that pygeum bark may help keep prostate cells healthy.  Scientists have studied pygeum bark to see if it helps reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer.

The herbal berry extract saw palmetto is made from the fruit of a small palm tree called the American dwarf palm tree.  Saw palmetto is a small shrub-like palm tree with “palmately divided leaves”¹ and is native to North America.

Saw palmetto is frequently used in Europe to improve the symptoms of enlarged prostate. An enlarged prostate is also referred to as Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Placebo-controlled studies show that saw palmetto can reduce nocturia, excessive nighttime urination. Men taking saw palmetto are twice as likely to experience improvement in their symptoms then those taking the placebo.

Saw palmetto is also used by over 2 million men in the United States. Even the American Indians used berries of saw palmetto to improve their prostate health.

Over 18 clinical studies show that saw palmetto helps improve urinary function.  

Saw palmetto is also called Serenoa repens. According to The Cochrane Database Systematic Review, “Serenoa repens produced similar improvement in urinary symptoms and flow compared to finasteride and is associated with fewer adverse treatment events.”

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, “The available data indicate that S repens(alone or in combination with other phytotherapeutic agents) improves urinary tract symptoms and urinary tract flow measures. Compared with placebo, S repens improved urinary tract symptoms by 28%, nocturia by 25%, peak urine flow by 24%, mean urine flow by 28%, and residual urine volume by 43%.”
