User Reviews for pygeum

I've taken 1000mg morning and evening and found it effective. Taking more was counterproductive.

No effect.

This has been a terrific item for me.

I was taking Saw Palmetto but did not find it very helpful for BPH symptoms. I found Pygeum much better. On long trips I could actually hold my urge to urinate and was no longer getting up in the middle of the night. A side benefit is seminal volume increased slightly and pre-ejaculate increased quit a bit. I have read some negative affects in other reviews about Pygeum causing heart palpitations and I must admit, when I started taking it, it did feel like I just drank a 6-shot latte'. But was that for real or just me convincing myself I felt it. Not sure. I'm still taking Pygeum and it's been 6 months now and my BPH symptoms have improved substantially.Read More Read Less

Was taking 320mg of Saw Palmetto and 200mg of Pygeum for 6 months, saw minimal results. I have stopped taking Saw Palmetto and increased Pygeum to 500mg along with 50mg of Zinc and saw very positive results within 5 days. I now sleep through the night and can go 6-8 hours during the day without having to urinate. The "I have to pee NOW" urge has subsided drastically. I have also noticed an increase in my libido and seminal fluid, especially my pre-ejaculate fluid.

I was taking 320mg of Saw Palmetto and 200mg of Pygeum daily for 6 months, but taking 500mg of Pygeum alone has given me much better results. I no longer take Saw Palmetto. I can now sleep through the night and go 5 - 6 hours during the day without having to urinate and that "I have to pee NOW" urge is nearly gone. Maybe the Saw Palmetto was counteracting the Peugum, I don't know, but as soon as I stopped taking Saw Palmetto I saw immediate results (within 5 days). A side benefit has been in my sex life. I get aroused much easier now and it doesn't take much for an erection to begin. I have also noticed an increase in seminal volume, especially pre-ejaculate. I've added 50mg of Zinc along with my 500mg of Pygeum and take this combination daily. It's only been 2 weeks but the results have been great.Read More Read Less

Age 60, excellent fitness, enlarged prostrate, frequent night urination, started to take 100mg pygeun, issues disappeared within a week. I recommended this to 2 friends as this is a common issue for aging males, worked for them too. I now take it every other day or less frequently. No side effects. Ha e been taking this for 1 year.:

After reading numerous online reviews of pygeum I decided to try it. I started taking 100mg at night before going to bed. Almost immediately I noticed waking only once at night to urinate instead of 2 to 3 times. It seems like my kidneys are producing less urine at night, but I have no way to verify that. I started gaining weight about the time I started taking pygeum and have gained about six pounds in two weeks and I'm wondering if the pygeum is causing edema or retention of fluids. I'm stopping pygeum to see if my weight will decline. After a couple of weeks I'll decide whether to resume pygeum or stay off of it. I am also concerned that several pygeum users have reported tachycardia episodes related to pygeum. I have a history of tachycardia and do not want to make it worse.Read More Read Less

Started last week, 2 capsules per day. 3 days later, had massive headache. The next day, I noticed my fingers jerking or dropping. A horrible taste in my mouth. Nothing tastes right. Sweet is salty, salty is nasty. The next day, I could not hold anything in my hands for dropping it. Coffee cups, cigarettes, bowls. I stopped medication. Fingers are slowly coming back. Have not scaled myself with hot coffee today. Still a horrible taste. BP normal, pulse.

I have a prostate that is 5 cm. That's huge. I have BPH, no cancer. Took pygeum for 4 months, helped a little. This stuff has side affects as well. Eye floaters, wow! cramps in my legs as well. Don't take this stuff until you have had a cat scan done to determine the size of your prostate. If it's slightly enlarged it will probably work ok. If its huge it wont do much. Surgery will be needed. This natural stuff is a hit or miss. Be careful what you put into your body, some of this stuff may be doing more harm than good. While I was taking it the veins in my arms got much bigger. See a urologist first before taking pygeum. Read More Read Less

Using Piping Rock version (Africanum Bark) for the past month, I continue to get up through out the night to urinate.

Taking stinging nettle extract w/ Pyeum . Just started will be back later to see how these work. Tamsulosin worked well but can't get it from the VA any longer

I reacted badly to Flomax and similar drugs, so have been using Pygeum for several months now. No side effects at all, and the relief I get from symptoms of BHP is satisfactory enough for me to keep taking it. Not sure why it works, but it does.

to increase sperm production.

Works for me. Helps to increase urination .

Before and after I had my prostate removed due to prostate cancer, I've used pygeum along with other supplements (saw palmetto, nettle, beta sito sterol, et al) to reduce urinary urge - but I also love the side effect that it greatly increased my precum amount. Precum is all you ejaculate after prostate removal, not any of the rest of your semen components. And shooting something is way better than nothing at all.

Urinozinc prostate health original formula with 100 mg pygeum resolved most symptoms of BPH----the "original formula with 23mg of pygeum did not reduce urinary frequency or other symptoms of BPH.

Saw palmetto also increased my body's production of precum somewhat but nothing like pygeum's effect.Read More Read Less

Using Pygeum for recreational purposes...it is very effective ;) (drastically increases the amount of pre-ejaculatory fluid)

I have been taking 500 mg with 500 mg Nettle
