What is Yam Root Extract Powder?

"Yam Root Extract Powder" most commonly refers to an extract from the roots of the Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa), a plant native to North America and parts of Mexico. It's crucial to distinguish this from the common sweet potato or the yams used as food staples in many cuisines (which are typically from the genus Dioscorea but different species).

Diosgenin is the most significant compound in Wild Yam. It became famous in the mid-20th century because it can be used in a laboratory as a starting material ("precursor") for the chemical synthesis of steroi like progesterone, cortisone, and birth control pills.
