This natural supplement contains a lesser-known plant called wild yam (Discorea villosa) from the Dioscoreaceae family. Let's get to know it ☺ There are more than 600 species of yam plants, the most prominent being wild yam (Dioscorea villosa). This hardy liana (vine) of equatorial regions has heart-shaped leaves. The leaves and roots contain diosgenin (the primary component), and it is the root that is used in medicine and in our supplements as a concentrated extract (highest yield), with a structure similar to cholesterol. This substance was used to produce the first contraceptive bases.

The roots are dug up in winter, the fine roots are sorted, washed and left to dry naturally (in the sun). Extracts from the root are used to treat various ailments, to promote overall health in both women and men, and for their powerful antispasmodic (relaxing), anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties.
Diosgenin helps the body produce DeHydroEpiAndrosterone (DHEA), the hormone of youth, which is produced by the adrenal glands. Its levels decline with age and need to be replenished. It has anti-ageing effects and promotes the growth of new skin cells. This steroidal glycoside has anti-inflammatory effects and higher doses relieve pain. In addition to diosgenin, discorea also contains dioscin (helps with inflammation of the urinary system, protects the liver, heart and kidneys), phytosterols (cholesterol pressure, regulates blood pressure), amino acids (ensure health and a feeling of happiness,better blood circulation). Other beneficial substances include alkaloids, tryptophan and starch.
The oestrogenic properties of this plant prevent osteoporosis, which is why it is referred to as the "anti-rheumatic root" in Chinese medicine. It is generally considered a "life-giver", improving feelings of vitality and energy (thanks to phytoestrogens). As a botanical dietary supplement, it is traditionally used to treat stomach upset,pain, joint inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis. It is also used to treat pain associated with menopause, whereit helps manage menopausal symptoms such as restlessness and sensitivity, and also relieves pain and discomfort associated with premenstrual syndrome. The plant is also rich in minerals: necessary, chromium, copper and iron, and vitamin C is also found here.
