BulkSupplements.com Pygeum Africanum Extract Powder - from Pygeum Bark - Gluten Free, 5000mg per Serving, 5kg (11 lbs) (Pack of 5)

I have been using Swanson brand Pygeum for a while and I have been happy with the results. I have also been a customer of BulkSupplements for more than a year and have been happy with their other products. When I saw that BulkSupplements offered Pygeum, I decided to give it a try. So far I am very happy with the product. It appears to work just as well as the Swanson Pygeum, but at much less cost. I will be sticking with the BulkSupplements Pygeum!

It tastes bad, but mixed in low quantity, like teas, helps eliminates the issue. Not sure if it helps with prostate?!

It works but taste horrible. But I did not buy ir for the taste

I have frequent urination problem that has been going on all my life, I'm 87 years old. I would have to get up anywhere from 4 to 8 times a night. It was so bad I couldn't drive more than 20 miles without finding a place to stop, probably behind a bush or suffer for another 10 and you can figure the outcome from there. so I have tried nearly everything available that I could find. I read a commercial about Gorilla berries and their prices were way over my pay scale so I checked Amazon for anything similar. This product was an extract ,I thought, but turned out to be ground up bark, however I definitely wasn't disappointed with how it worked. The package said over 1100 doses in the package, that's at 1/16th of a spoon-full per day. I started at double that dosage and or two month It did nothing so I doubled that to make four times the dosage( 1/4 teaspoon) from that night on I either got up once or two times a night (sometimes not at all)for the next two months. Highly recommend you try it.

UPDATE-I wanted to get back to this and update my experience. I have no medical certifications or licenses, so this is purely a UX non professional review. A dosage of "5000" is exorbitant if it's supposed to be mg's. Even a half of the recommendation on the container seems like over doing it. I'm taking about 200 mg's daily, in capsules I pack myself. Does it work? I'd say yes. I would recommend to start with a small dose and go from there. ------- The brands recommended dosage of 5000 mg (2 teaspoons) seems huge, considering other medical literature advises a dosage of 100 - 200 mgs for this kind of supplement. I may be missing something but I’d be interested in seeing what amounts other users are taking and any reactions, in addition to how effective it is. I’m starting with 1/2 the recommended dosage, 1 teaspoon, with water and with a meal. I’ll update this review in a couple weeks, as to how well it works, and if any adjustments.

I was a bit worried when this product appeared to be a bit different in appearance (darker, more uniform coloration) than the previous pygeum extract supplement I was taking by Solaray. However, this product is equally effective at controlling my BPH and much more cost effective than buying the supplement in pill form. I take 1/8 tsp dry and wash it down with a drink. It has a nutty, sweet sawdusty flavor. I won't be buying any other pygeum supplement again as this is the best value hands down.

I did not read the instructions closely. 250 g package will last 3.4 years (at 100 mg serving size). Now they changed the serving size to 500 mg?? It really worked for my BPH. I accidently overdosed (5x) and for 2 days I did not wake up to pee in the middle of sleep.

If the potency is as described then the suggested serving size is quite aggressive. Compared to the pills I have taken it would be the equivalent of taking like 25 pills or something. I mix it with my psyllium and it is definitely working. I know when I don't take it what the difference is like; lots of trips.
