What Is African Cherry Pygeum Glycerite?
African Cherry Pygeum, also referred to as Prunus africana or Pygeum africanum, is a tree native to the mountainous regions of Africa. Its bark has been traditionally used for centuries to maintain prostate health and support urinary tract function. This glycerite is a concentrated, alcohol-free liquid extract that preserves the full spectrum of beneficial plant compounds.
HerbalTerra’s African Cherry Pygeum Glycerite is crafted from organic dried bark powder using a classic maceration method. This gentle extraction process ensures that the wide range of therapeutic constituents—including vitamins, minerals, alkaloids, flavonoids, and other active compounds—are fully extracted and preserved. The result is a potent, bio-available supplement that fits easily into a daily routine.
How Is This Glycerite Made?
Our extract is produced under strict quality standards. We start with organically grown, ethically wild-harvested, or selectively imported African Cherry Pygeum bark. The dried bark is finely powdered and then macerated in a glycerine-based menstruum for several weeks, allowing the solvent to extract the plant’s valuable constituents.
The dry plant material to menstruum ratio is 1:3—for every one part herb, we uses three parts liquid. This yields a 1:3 extraction rate: each millilitre of glycerite equals approximately 330 mg of dried herb. Glycerine, a natural sweet alternative to alcohol, ensures the extract remains alcohol-free while effectively capturing both water-soluble and fat-soluble compounds.
Unlike many commercial extracts that uses heat or alcohol to speed up extraction, our maceration method is performed at room temperature. This slow approach protects heat-sensitive and volatile components, delivering a more complete and authentic herbal profile.
What Makes This Alcohol-Free Extract Special?
Choosing an alcohol-free glycerite offers several benefits. Glycerine is non-irritating to the digestive tract, making it ideal for those who prefer to avoid alcohol. Its naturally sweet taste makes the extract more palatable when taken directly or mixed into beverages.
Our African Cherry Pygeum Glycerite contains NO alcohol, GMOs, gluten, artificial colours, or preservatives. It is purely herb and glycerine-based menstruum. This clean formulation suits a variety of dietary preferences, including vegan, paleo, and gluten-free lifestyles.
Each batch is manufactured in an FDA-registered facility in the United States, adhering to rigorous quality control measures. We take pride in producing extracts that are consistently potent, pure, and free from unnecessary additives.
