tree bark extract used for prostate health and hair growth
Pygeum africanum, also known as Prunus africana or African cherry, is a tree native to the montane regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Its bark is commonly used in traditional medicine and modern supplements to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and other urinary disorders. The extract is believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may also contribute to its use in promoting hair health and potentially addressing conditions like alopecia.
