    tree bark extract used for prostate health and hair growth

    Pygeum africanum, also known as Prunus africana or African cherry, is a tree native to the montane regions of sub-Saharan Africa.

The extract is believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may also contribute to its use in promoting hair health and potentially addressing conditions like alopecia.
