Our Organic Wild Yam Extract Powder is a diosgenin-concentrated extract made from tuberous roots of Dioscorea villosa(Shaanxi/Yunnan organic farms), processed via low-temperature drying (45°C) + water extraction to retain 90%+ of fresh yam’s bioactive compounds (vs. 60% in sun-drying). Unlike generic “wild yam powder” (often mixed with stems/leaves), it is 100% tuber-derived, standardized for diosgenin (16%+)—a natural precursor to progesterone—with zero chemical solvents and non-GMO verification, ideal for hormone balance and joint support.
Tuber-Exclusive Purity: Sourced from 2-3-year-old tubers (peak diosgenin stage), 2x higher saponins vs. young roots.
Diosgenin Potency: 16% HPLC-verified diosgenin (industry-leading), 3x higher than average (5-8%), ensuring reliable natural progesterone support.
Gentle Processing: Low-temperature drying preserves heat-sensitive diosgenin (retention 95% vs. 70% in hot-air drying).
Clean Label: Water-only extraction, no carriers/additives—labeled “natural plant sterol source.”
Health Benefit | Active Compound | Mechanism/Data | Application Link |
