Wild Yam Root –
the anti-aging root supports hormone balance to stay young, fit & vital
Yam root is used in TCM and other cultures and is considered the queen of plants in hormonal regulation. Yam root is characterized by a high content of the plant hormone diosgenin. Diosgenin is structurally very similar to the hormones DHEA and progesterone. DHEA is considered the hormone of youth. The decrease of DHEA in the body is closely related to aging; in 80-year-olds, it only accounts for about 10% of the original peak value in youth.
Yam root has an adaptogenic effect and helps the body to better adapt to stress. It contributes to the normalization of metabolism, supports muscle building, and is considered an anti-aging food in TCM for more energy and performance. Yam root serves as a complementary alternative when hormone levels decline.
For general well-being and prevention, daily intake over a longer period is recommended.
