Wild Yam NSP Supplement: Hormone Balance Support for Women
English Description:
Wild Yam NSP capsules provide a natural approach to supporting women’s hormonal health. This dietary supplement combines the power of Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa), Damiana, Raspberry, and Sarsaparilla to help regulate hormonal balance and address various women’s health concerns.
Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa):
The root of Wild Yam is rich in phytoestrogens, including diosgenin and dioscin. These compounds act as precursors to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a crucial hormone often called the “mother hormone” because it’s a precursor for the synthesis of numerous other steroid hormones in the body. Traditionally used by Mexican women for contraception and to prevent miscarriage, Wild Yam has shown promise in supporting luteal phase development and pregnancy maintenance. It’s also recommended by phytotherapists for early pregnancy nausea. Its vasodilating properties help relieve PMS-related cramps and spasms. Research suggests that diets rich in phytoestrogens may reduce the risk of breast, uterine, and colorectal cancers, which can be linked to estrogen excess. Wild Yam naturally supports hormonal balance, potentially preventing excessive estrogen production, such as in cases of endometriosis. It can also help alleviate menopausal symptoms and protect against osteoporosis. Beyond women’s health, Wild Yam may help manage atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, headaches, tinnitus, fatigue, irritability, high cholesterol, and improve mood, sleep, and memory. It possesses anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic, and diuretic properties.
Damiana (Turnera diffusa):
The leaves of this plant contain essential oils, cineole, pinenes, thymol, terpenes, tannins, and alkaloids. Historically used by the Mayan people as an aphrodisiac and for respiratory ailments, Damiana’s alkaloids, essential oils, and β-sitosterol enhance blood flow to the pelvic region, stimulating spinal nerve nodes and promoting the release of sex hormones. It can alleviate anxiety, nervousness, and depression, boosting mood and libido. It’s used to address impotence, low libido, and improve overall psychoemotional tone. Depending on the dosage, Damiana can have either stimulating or calming effects and possesses bactericidal properties. It’s also recommended for neurasthenia, dysmenorrhea, and headaches.
Raspberry (Rubus idaeus):
Known for its anti-inflammatory and spasmolytic properties, raspberry leaf is used to treat urinary tract disorders. It offers astringent, detoxifying, and hemostatic (blood-clotting) benefits, making it helpful for heavy menstrual bleeding.
Sarsaparilla (Smilax officinalis):
The roots of Sarsaparilla have diuretic effects, stimulate sex hormone production, and have a tonic effect on the reproductive organs. It’s used to address hormonal imbalances, PMS, sexual dysfunction, and infertility.
Wild Yam NSP:
This supplement provides an additional source of steroidal saponins. Each capsule contains 375mg of Wild Yam root. Adults should take 1-2 capsules twice daily with meals. A 3-4 week course is recommended, with repeats as needed.
