Mexican Yam can be used to help alleviate the symptoms of menopause and PMS that are brought about by hormone imbalance. Mexican Yam contains a very high concentration of a substance called diosgenin which has a very similar molecular structure to progesterone - one of the two female sex hormones.
Diosgenin has the ability to lock-on to the hormone receptors in the body creating an progesterone-like effect which can help restore hormone balance. Diosgenin is used to manufacture many hormones used in contraceptive pills and HRT treatments including nature-identical and synthetic progesterones.
Mexican Yam helps to relax smooth muscles, such as that found lining the uterus and may be of benefit around the time of menstruation.
Can anyone use Mexican Yam Supplements?
These supplements can be used safely by women of all ages but are particularly appropriate for those who have had an hysterectomy, or are suffering menopausal or PMS symptoms.
Can I use Wild Mexican Yam if I am on HRT?
Yes, the Wild Yam in the capsules seem to mimic the hormones in your body to achieve a natural balance and help ease some of the more unpleasant side effects of oestrogen dominance.
I want to just stop taking HRT, what do I do?
You should consult your GP. You must not just stop HRT because the body could not adjust to a sudden change in your hormone balances. You can wean yourself off HRT over 2 to 3 months while using this product at the same time.
