Excellent DHEA levels with diosgenin

The yam root (lat. dioscorea) contains the substance diosgenin. This substance stimulates the endogenous production of DHEA in the adrenal cortex and helps to maintain a healthy level of DHEA in the organism. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a natural hormone, which the body transforms into oestrogen and testosterone. A study showed that men, who have potency problems, also have decreased DHEA levels.

Yam root is an excellent tip for menopause

The yam root provides a wide spectrum of minerals and vitamins and plays a significant role in the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). It supports the digestion with the help of important fibres, phosphorous stimulates the formation of red blood cells and contributes to the skin care by means of the contained allantoin.

The diosgenin from the yam root is also called “natural progesterone”. Menopause usually starts with a decreased endogenous progesterone production, which causes the menstruation to be irregular. The natural progesterone can alleviate the mood swings and irritability related to menopause.
