Description

Basic Pygeum Herbal contains plant-based substances important for the health of the prostate. Saw palmetto and Pygeum have been shown to inhibit the activity of 5-alpha reductase and reduce the size of the prostate. The amino acids alanine, glycine, and glutamic acid have been added for
their ability to reduce prostate size.

Interest in Pygeum africanum began in the 1700s when European travelers learned from South African tribes how to soothe bladder discomfort and treat “old man’s disease” with the bark of P. africanum. Pygeum bark extract has been used in Europe since the mid-1960s to treat men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and is backed by many double-blind studies pointing to its efficacy for reducing its symptoms.

Serenoa repens, also known as saw palmetto, is native to the southeastern United States, Southern Europe, and North Africa. Traditional indications for the use of saw palmetto include: cystitis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, diabetes, dysentery, and indigestion. The berries have also been thought to be an aphrodisiac. Modern usage of saw palmetto is overwhelmingly for the treatment of BPH.
