Pygeum and Pygeum for Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Each entry’s own grades, side by side. A grade says how strong the evidence is for one outcome — it does not rank one entry over the other.

Compound or practice

An African-plum bark for prostate symptoms with modest older evidence.

Grade C1 graded outcomerevised Jul 10, 2026

A structured monograph in Prometheus's bundled library. Its grades are the monograph's own reading of the evidence, not a peer-reviewed review.

Outcomes are matched by name. Two entries can describe the same outcome in different words, so one listed further down may still be graded in the other.

No outcome has the same name in both entries. They may still overlap under different wording — read the two lists below.
