Nutricost Wild Yam Root 2500mg | Lowers Inflammation & Pain Levels | Uplevels Progesterone | Menopause Support | 120 Capsules; Exp 06/2028

A wonderful women's-health herb, wild yam's unique ability to support hormonal balance has made it a popular favorite for promoting emotional and physical well-being during the menstrual cycle or the changes that accompany menopause.

Wild yam root contains a compound called diosgenin, which has shown potential benefits in animal and test-tube studies for conditions like arthritis, inflammation, and cholesterol levels. It is traditionally used for hormonal support. 
Its use in alternative medicine is also explored for digestive issues, muscle cramps, and skin health, though more human research is needed

• Inflammation and arthritis: Some animal studies show wild yam extract can lower inflammation and pain levels. Research suggests it might have benefits for rheumatoid arthritis due to the anti-inflammatory effects of diosgenin. 
• Hormonal balance: Diosgenin is a precursor to hormones like estrogen and progesterone. This has led to its traditional use for menopause symptoms.
• Cholesterol: Some animal studies suggest that diosgenin could help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol and overall cholesterol levels. 
• Blood sugar: Some research, primarily on animals, indicates that compounds in wild yam may help lower blood sugar levels. 
• Digestive health: It is traditionally used to soothe digestive issues and abdominal cramps. 
• Pain relief: The root has antispasmodic properties that may help relax muscles, which could potentially relieve menstrual cramps and muscle pain.
