                                Historically used for centuries in traditional African medicine, the bark of the African plum tree, *Prunus africana*, has demonstrated significant therapeutic potential, especially for prostate and urinary tract health. This tree's extract, known as pygeum, contains a variety of active compounds responsible for its medicinal effects.
