Do Yams have a naturally occuring hormone that helps women thru menopause?

Yea, I heard that.
I honestly have never heard that. That's a new one on me.
Yes, but you have to eat a TON of them..
Yes, wild yam is often used for menopause and from what I hear, it's very effective.
wild yams and it comes in a pill form in the vitamin section.
No! Absolutely not!

Wild Yam has a substance called diosgenin. This molecule is too large to enter our bloodstream. Diosgenin must be taken into a lab and be converted to the hormone progesterone to be usable in our bodies.

So beware of all the hype surrounding the sale of Wild Yam creams. Do not pay attention to claims that the ingredients of these creams can covert in the body to progesterone. It has been tested and proven not to be the case.
