In the 1940s the roots of wild yam were discovered to be an important source of diosgenin, a plant steroidal saponin that scientists can manipulate to produce steroids such as progesterone, oestrogen, cortisone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which are then used for medical purposes. Diosgenin was used as starting material for the synthesis of a highly potent and orally active progestational agent which was the key ingredient in the first birth control pills in the 1960s.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eActions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHormone modulator, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antirheumatic, bitter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIndications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•    Menopausal symptoms\u003cbr\u003e•    Menstrual cramping, female infertility, ovarian pain\u003cbr\u003e•    Gastrointestinal spasm including diverticulitis, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, reduces the inflammation and pain associated with intestinal cramping as part of inflammatory bowel disease, flatulence, diverticulitis, nausea, vomiting\u003cbr\u003e•    Rheumatoid arthritis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEnergetics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet, neutral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUse in Pregnancy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLikely to be safe when consumed in dietary amounts however safety is not known when used in larger quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContraindications \u0026amp; Cautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDrug Interactions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonitor with oestrogens, for example hormone replacement therapy and oral contraceptives. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDietary Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegan friendly.
