Description
Yam (or wild Mexican yam) helps to increase levels of adrenal hormones (cortisol, DHEA) and sex hormones (estradiol, progesterone). Although yam is not converted into progesterone or DHEA in the body. It acts as a cellular receptor modulator and sometimes as an endocrine stimulant (adrenal and sex glands). Recommended in the following cases: √ Premenstrual syndromes √ Irregular cycles √ Congestion of the pelvis and breasts Indeed, after several weeks of intake, hormone levels can reveal a significant increase in oestrogens as well as, sometimes, progesterone or S-DHEA. These are the very surprising effects of Yam which have prompted all the research on the subject, in particular research on hot flushes during menopause or peri-menopause, or its ovarian stimulation effects in women with menstrual cycle disorders due to insufficient secretion. Research has also noted an improvement in libido and sleep. Yam carries less overall risk within the hormonal supplementation proposed during menopause. Yam also has effects: √ Anti-fatigue , it improves fitness and increases energy. These properties could be attributed to the stimulation of the adrenal glands which, let us remember, secrete multiple hormones including DHEA, sex hormones and cortisone, anti-fatigue hormones par excellence. √ Choleretic , it stimulates bile production and improves digestion of ingested fats. Yam has multiple benefits in preventing many peri-menopause and menopause problems. Use √ Peri-menopause and pre-menstrual: 3 to 6 capsules per day during the second half of the cycle √ Menopause: 3 to 6 capsules per day for 5, 7 or 22 days per month
