Pygeum Bark Extract Function
Anti-inflammatory effects: Pygeum africanum bark extract inhibits the production of proinflammatory prostaglandins in the prostate and reduces the production of leukotrienes and other 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) metabolites. It exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the release of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, which is particularly important in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Anti-androgenic activity: The extract blocks androgen receptors and reduces the formation of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate, thereby slowing the progression of prostate enlargement.
Blocking cancer cell growth: Certain compounds in Pygeum Bark Extract, such as atretic acid, hydroxyl acid, ferulic acid, lauric acid, and oleanolic acid, can kill cancer cells and prevent their growth.
Blocking the growth of connective tissue cells: By reducing the production of growth factors and blocking their function, Pygeum extract can slow the overgrowth of connective tissue cells in patients with prostate enlargement.
Improvement of prostate histology: The extract was able to improve the histological structure of the prostate, inhibit the proliferation of prostate fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, and restore the secretory activity of the prostate and bulbospongiosus epithelium.
Improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms: Pygeum bark extract is a commonly used phytotherapy drug for the improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by BPH, such as dysuria, frequent urination, nocturia, and urinary retention.
