Ingredients explained
Diosgenin (from Wild Yam Root Extract 10%)
Diosgenin is a plant steroidal sapogenin that may influence steroid hormone pathways and assist in modulating receptor activity related to menstrual and menopausal comfort.
Caution: Not advised during pregnancy or nursing due to hormone pathway interactions; stop if unusual discomfort occurs and discuss use with a healthcare professional if you use hormones or have hormone-sensitive concerns.
Wild Yam Root (powder)
Whole wild yam root provides additional steroidal saponins and phytonutrients that may contribute to general hormonal balance support and comfort.
Caution: Use cautiously if you have hormone-sensitive concerns or take related medications, as botanical saponins may interact with hormone pathways.
How they work together
Standardized wild yam extract provides a defined amount of diosgenin to reliably target hormone pathway modulation, while the added whole root supplies a broader spectrum of saponins and phytonutrients that may round out the herb’s overall effects.
