Pygeum Bark C/S

Pygeum Bark Cut & Sifted

Pygeum (Prunus africana), also known as African Cherry or African Plum, is a large evergreen tree native to the mountain forests of sub-Saharan Africa. Its bark has been used in traditional African medicine for centuries to support urinary and reproductive health, and today it is one of the most clinically studied botanicals for prostate health. Our Pygeum Bark C/S (Cut & Sifted) is carefully dried and processed to preserve its active phytosterols, triterpenes, and ferulic acid esters — ideal for decoctions, tinctures, and custom herbal formulations.
