FAQ
- How Does Wild Yam Support Hormonal Balance?
Wild yam contains steroidal saponins, including diosgenin, a naturally occurring plant compound that has been studied for its role in women's wellness, particularly during the menopausal transition. Research suggests wild yam may help support hormonal balance during periods of hormonal change by supporting the body's natural endocrine function and promoting overall reproductive wellness. - What Is Diosgenin and Why Is It Important?
Diosgenin is a naturally occurring steroidal saponin found in wild yam and one of the herb's most studied compounds. It is commonly used as a marker of wild yam extract potency and quality and is believed to contribute to many of the herb's traditional wellness benefits. - Who Should Not Take Wild Yam Supplements?
Individuals who are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a medical condition should consult a healthcare provider before using wild yam supplements. Because wild yam contains naturally occurring steroidal saponins, individuals with hormone-sensitive conditions should seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional before use. - What Makes Swanson Wild Yam Root Unique?
Swanson Wild Yam Root provides 405 mg of whole wild yam (Dioscorea villosa) root in each capsule. Unlike standardized extracts that focus on a single compound, this formula delivers the full spectrum of naturally occurring compounds found in wild yam root, making it a traditional whole-herb option for women's wellness support. - Is Swanson Wild Yam Root Suitable for Special Diets?
Swanson Wild Yam Root is made with non-GMO ingredients and is dairy free. However, it is not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets because the capsule contains gelatin, an animal-derived ingredient. This product is also not certified gluten free.
