HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pygeum 100 mg by AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: pygeum (100 mg per tablet). Pygeum is an extract from the bark of an African tree, used traditionally for prostate and urinary health.

The inactive ingredients are calcium carbonate, maltodextrin, magnesium stearate, and silica — common tablet binders and fillers.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support prostate and urinary wellness.
  • We looked for evidence on: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Sexual desire, Prostatitis, Urinary frequency, Nocturia.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Pygeum is rated "Likely Effective" for Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Pygeum is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Sexual desire.

Pygeum is likely effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that can cause urinary symptoms in older men. For other uses listed — Alzheimer disease, malaria, sexual desire, and psychosis — the evidence isn't strong enough to rate it.

The data we hold doesn't establish whether it works for those conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Pygeum

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Pygeum is generally well tolerated in the short term, but quality and long-term safety data are limited. In clinical studies, nausea and abdominal pain occurred in some participants, though at rates similar to placebo.

Because pygeum is used for men's prostate health, it's not recommended in pregnancy. There isn't enough safety information for breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're nursing.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This supplement is a reasonable option if you're a man dealing with BPH symptoms and want to try a plant-based approach. Long-term safety data are sparse, so it's worth a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist — especially if you have any other health conditions or take other medications.

They can help you decide if it's right for you.

Pygeum 100 mg by AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas: Common Questions

Does Pygeum 100 mg by AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Pygeum 100 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pygeum 100 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is pygeum used for?
Pygeum is most well established for benign prostatic hyperplasia — the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that causes trouble with urination in some men. It's also been used traditionally for sexual function and other conditions, but the evidence for those uses isn't strong enough to rely on yet.
Does pygeum cause side effects?
Some people in clinical trials reported nausea and abdominal pain, but these occurred at about the same rate as in people taking placebo. Most users tolerate it well, especially in the short term.
Is pygeum safe to take long-term?
It's generally well tolerated in the short term, but we don't have a lot of quality data on long-term safety. That's something worth discussing with your doctor if you're thinking of taking it for months or longer.
Can I take pygeum if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Pygeum isn't recommended in pregnancy — it's used for men's prostate health and hasn't been studied safely in pregnant people. If you're breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
How much pygeum is in each tablet?
Each tablet contains 100 mg of pygeum extract.
