Pygeum was very effective for me, but almost killed me. Read on: the symptom for which I took pygeum, BPH and decreased urinary flow, was effectively treated within a week of taking the herb. I also noticed other pleasant side effects, such as increased libido, increased semen volume, and rapid recovery after sex. Unfortunately, pygeum also was the cause of occasional rapid heart rate that took me...

EFECTO PELIGROSO SOBRE EL CORAZÓN. La principal manifestación de BPH en mi caso, es la micción nocturna, hasta 4 veces sin drogas. Esto mejoró con Serenoa Repens 329 mg solamente, bajando a una o dos. Cambié por Serenoa Repens 160 mg + Pygeum Africanum 50 mg, un comprimido por día, y en 2 días desapareció la micción nocturna totalmente, y también desminuyó la diurna, me pareció demasiado. Pero al...

For BPH this reduced my frequency, improved flow, improved sexual function. Couldn't be happier. However there's a major side effect for me that has stopped me using it. Heart palpitations, missing beats, fast heart rate. Although I'm satisfied with pygeum as a treatment for BPH the worry some side effects on my heart are unacceptable. I'm hopping now I've stopped using pygeum my heart rate will quickly stabilize and return to normal. I was talking 250mg a day. If and when my heart rate normalizes I may try again with a much lower dose of 50mg sometime in the future as it worked so well. But, the first signs palpitations I will immediately stop.Read More Read Less

Pygeum works great for bphp, but caused my heart to go into AFib for almost four days and resulted in a trip to the ER. Don't take if you have any history of AFib.

Started taking Pygeum almost two months ago, 1 500mg per day In the last two weeks I've had a marked improvement in flow and just 1 nighttime visit. Almost all my bph problems over last few years have vanished.

Zero effect, absolutely nothing to cheer about. Without actual scientific research and data(not sponsored by the supplement industry)there is very little reason to waste money and your time taking this supplement-

lets put it this way...Pygeum is great in the bedroom, semen volume increases a lot ,predrip as well . Unfortunately this herb might put an end to your fun alltogether at least on this planet if you have Afib or another heart condition. After few days of taking it was not the bedroom but the ER that i wound up. With a heart rate of 160 plus for hours.Close to electric shocks to reset my heart, it went down just in time. If you are healthy take it, but as a previous reviewer said.With a heart condition STAY AWAY.Read More Read Less

I have been taking pygeum for about a year now with no side effects. I also noticed a stronger sexual desire. An added plus has been firmer erections,along with an increase of ejaculate volume. My wife of 42years noticed the added benefits before I did. She is very happy with those benefits,as am I being a 72year old male,I really enjoy my bladder emptying completely as well as a strong stream when I urinate,as I did in my 20's.

I'm a fit male of 71, with an active lifestyle, a comprehensive daily workout regimen, a healthy diet and an active sex life. I have BPH, and found that I was getting up several times at night to urinate, sometimes as many as 4 times. Within the first week of taking Pygeum, I noticed that I was getting up less frequently (this at 125mg/day), and so the following week, I doubled my dose to 250mg/day. While it's taken a couple of weeks for the full effect to set in, I am now only getting up once per night (one time even, not at all), and the urgency which accompanied the need to urinate has virtually disappeared. I feel that I am in much better control of my bladder (even in the daytime). Prior to Pygeum, it seemed that I was unable to empty my bladder fully, and within 5 minutes or so I would have to make another trip to the bathroom (this being more a daytime phenomenon than a nighttime one). This symptom has largely disappeared, although I do still experience it from time to time. While I've never required any erectile dysfunction medications in order to perform, I've found that in the wake of my daily taking of Pygeum, I have an erectile quality which I haven't experienced since at least my late 30s. Firm, spontaneous, persistent ... you know, like a kid. It was an entirely unexpected and pleasant development. And the entire experience, from arousal to orgasm, has acquired an intensity and satisfaction level that even my partner(s) have commented on. Granted, based on some of the comments I've read here and on other sites, there is a wide range of experiences that guys have when they take Pygeum, but in my case, it not only corrected the problem I was grappling with, but it enhanced experiences that weren't even a problem.Read More Read Less

After gradually worsening symptoms from prostate enlargement I tried Saw Palmetto which improved it slightly but still getting up 3 times a night for a pee. Then I came across Pygeum 4000mg from Piping Rock. Don't know the exact dosage in these but 1 capsule morning and night gave me a much better sleep with only one trip. Stopped taking it when the bottle ran out and immediately I was getting woken up every hour as well as frequent emergency dashes during the day. Got a new bottle and it's settled down again. Looks like I'll be on it for life! No side effects so far after 4 monthsRead More Read Less

Night toilet visits reduced from 4 to 3 and night urine flow much improved after just a few days of taking 500mg per day. It definitely works.

Pygeum is great if you and your partner like the big sauce on the hotdog in the bedroom. However if - as others already wrote - you have heart issues like Afib, Heart flutter etc stay far away!! from this stuff. This causes Afib like nothing else and you will get an episode guaranteed if you suffered it before. Possibly with cardioversion or ablation if your shit out of luck . So pornstar for once yes but i hear they have not much use for them in heaven.

Using Carousos prostate eze max capsuals with the main ingredient pyegum stem bark 75mg I found that it helped with prostate issues in particular the ability to pass urine without have to wait for a while but that raised my prostate is enlarged slighty. But a pleasant side effect it increased not so much the sperm count but prostatic fluid and therefore amount of sperm volume at orgasm to well over 7 ml. With the additional fluid the benefit seems to be longer more pleasurable orgasms. Downside the cost of this product from this company.Read More Read Less

I started to take Pygeum to see its effects on my libido. I’ve noticed a nice increase in sexual desire. More ejaculate and precum too, which are a bonus in my opinion.

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