What is Wild Yam Root Extract?
Wild Yam Root Extract is a concentrated herbal extract derived from the root of Dioscorea oppositae thunb, commonly known as wild yam. Rich in diosgenin, a naturally occurring steroidal saponin, this extract is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, and nutraceutical formulations.
Wild yam root contains diosgenin. It's a plant steroid that scientists can manipulate to produce steroids, such as progesterone, estrogen, cortisone, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which are then used for medical purposes. Thus, some advocates assert that wild yam root extract has benefits similar to those offered by these steroids in your body, providing a natural alternative to estrogen therapy or progesterone creams. Yet, studies disprove this, showing that your body cannot turn diosgenin into these steroids.
Undersun's wild yam root extract is produced under strict quality control standards and undergoes testing for purity, heavy metals, and microbial safety. We provide documents such as COA, TDS, specification sheets, and flowcharts to ensure reliable and safe ingredients for your formulations.
