Wild yam

别名: Dioscorea villosa, diosgenin

Wild yam is a tuber containing diosgenin, which is used in the lab to manufacture steroid hormones. The human body, however, cannot convert diosgenin into progesterone or other hormones, so claims of "natural progesterone" are not true.

用途

menopausal symptoms – no evidence (including creams)
hormonal balance and PMS – no evidence
digestive cramps – weak evidence, traditional use only

剂型及区别

tuber powder or extract capsules

diosgenin content varies; it is not converted into hormones in the body

wild yam creams

contain no progesterone unless the manufacturer added it (then it is no longer a herbal product)

何时服用

With food, as the label says.

适合搭配

For menopause, better-studied options after consulting your gynaecologist.

不宜同服 / 需错开

Take care combining with hormone therapy and contraception – consult your doctor.

注意事项

Not suitable in pregnancy, breastfeeding or with hormone-sensitive conditions (e.g. endometriosis, fibroids, breast cancer). If you take medicines, consult your doctor.

安全性

High doses may cause nausea and vomiting; do not exceed the label dose.

实用建议

If you are looking for help with hot flushes, this supplement is not a good choice – other options have better evidence.
