Description

Wild Yam & Chaste Tree is a herbal formula that may be helpful for treating numerous female complaints associated with menopausal systems.

Both herbs have enjoyed a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine with women experiencing the “change of life.”

Did you know?

Wild yam contains a compound called diosgenin, which is similar to the hormone progesterone.

The diosgenin in wild yam (approximately 40%) mimics progesterone’s effect upon the body and has become increasingly popular in the treatment of PMS symptoms. Progesterone buffers the negative effect of elevated estrogen levels. A recent study published in The American Journal of Natural Medicine found that chaste tree berries exhibit significant effects on hypothalamus and pituitary functions, reducing prolactin secretion and the estrogen to progesterone ratio, as well as normalizing the secretion of other hormones.

Features & Benefits

  • Formula combines the time-honored herbs wild yam and chaste tree as standardized extracts.
  • Helps balance the female hormones during the change of life.
  • Chaste tree is used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve premenstrual symptoms, as a hormone normalizer to help stabilize menstrual cycle irregularities and to help relieve symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes.
