Wild Yams: active and vital even after turning 40

Botanical: Dioscorea
Chinese: Huang YaoZi
Sanskrit: Vidarikand
English: yam

It is the ancient dream of humanity to become older than 100 years, to get wrinkles at an old age and to be vital even at an advanced age. We all wish to stay healthy, young, fit and vital as long as possible. Hormones have a significant effect on our well-being, DHEA in particular. It is not without reason that it is called “youth hormone” or “fountain of youth”.

Natural ingredients of the yam root

The Mexican yam root (lat. Dioscorea) contains the substance diosgenin, which stimulates the endogenous production of DHEA in the adrenal cortex and helps to keep the DHEA level on a healthy level.
The root is also rich in vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids.

What is DHEA?

DHEA is a substance produced by the body. However, the produced amount is age-dependent. It is a mutual precursor for the male testosterone and the female estradiol.
The diosgenin contained in the Mexican yam root is able to stimulate the endogenous DHEA release.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) cannot be taken in through food, but has to be synthesised by the body. The production of the endogenous hormone decreases from approx. 30mg at the age of 20 to less than 6mg per day at the age of 80. According to Dr. W. Regelson, Medical College Virginia, DHEA is one of the best biochemical marker for the chronological age. In some people, DHEA decreases during life by 95%, which is the largest known decrease of important biochemical substances.

DHEA has numerous positive properties for the organism

Many studies discovered that DHEA has positive properties for the cardiovascular system and the cholesterol level. Further investigations showed that DHEA ensures an intact memory, keeps the immune system fit and the bones strong. It has become evident that DHEA is helpful during tense times and that it triggers feelings of well-being and vigour. It is often used for menopausal symptoms; it supports the reduction of body fat, supports a healthy oestrogen and testosterone production and is beneficial for a balanced libido. Recent results of age research showed that DHEA has strong cell-protective properties as well.
