Extracts from the immature fruit of Poncirus trifoliata (L.) have been proven to inhibit the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate common among older men. This study published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine examines the protective effects of Ponciri fructus extract (PFE) on the progression of BPH.
Taking their findings into account, the researchers concluded that PFE exerts antiproliferative and antioxidant effects that prevent the onset and progression of BPH.
