HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pygeum Bark Extract by Herbadiet
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: Pygeum Bark Extract, a plant-based ingredient used traditionally for prostate health. The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, an inactive ingredient that holds the extract.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Pygeum Bark Extract is rated likely effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH — the noncancerous enlargement of the prostate that can cause urinary symptoms. For other uses — Alzheimer disease, malaria, sexual desire, and psychosis — the evidence is insufficient to establish whether it works.
Those uses aren't well enough studied in our current data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Pygeum is generally well tolerated in short-term use, though quality and long-term safety data are limited. Some people in clinical trials reported nausea and abdominal pain, but these occurred at rates similar to placebo.
The safety data advises against use in pregnancy and while breastfeeding because pygeum is a men's health supplement and there isn't enough information to know it's safe for these situations.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for pygeum. Still, run your exact medications through the checker below before starting.
The bottom line
