Whole Formulas Wild Yam Extract, 1 fl oz

الوصف

Whole Formulas Wild Yam Extract, 1 fl oz Dioscorea villosa, also known as wild yam, Mexican yam, colic root and shan yao, is tuberous perennial vine with species native to North America and China. Its roots are dry and narrow, unlike sweet potatoes and the common yam of North America. The active chemical compound in wild yam is diosgenin, believed to be a precursor of steroid hormones. It was used to make the first birth control pills in the 1960's. Wild yam may display antispasmodic properties, although this has not been proven. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it was used by herbalists for menstral cramps issues with childbirth. Today, wild yam is used to promote a reduction in the symptoms of PMS and menopause, including cramping, mood swings, hot flashes and night sweats. The Benefits of Herbal Extracts: Potency The herbs used in Whole Formulas extracts are picked at the peak of their growth cycle to ensure maximum potency, then processed immediately upon receipt to capture their inherent vitality. Extracts are often the preferred choice of herbalists and naturopaths for this reason. Bioavailability Due to common digestion issues, many people have trouble fully breaking down pills and tablets. With extracts, the plant material has already been processed during formulation. All that remains is the full-spectrum of potent active nutrients ready for absorption. Convenience Simply place the recommended dose in water or juice and drink. The built-in dropper cap makes it easy to control dosage.  1 fl oz in amber glass bottle with dropper top
