Can taking pygeum help my prostate?

Pygeum for Prostate

Men who experience prostate problems such as BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia), better known as as enlarged prostate, can benefit from taking the pygeum. This product, which comes from evergreen trees native to Africa, contains compounds that inhibit the production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a male hormone normally high in men whith BPH. Recommended dosage to treat BPH is 100 to 200 mg a day of a standardized pygeum extract (containing 14% terpenes & sterols & 0.5 % ferulic acids). To give the prostate s little extra insurance against possible problems take 50 to 100 mg daily on an empty stomach. *more than 200 mg can cause stomach upset.
