Essential Facts About Wild Yam Cream and Progesterone
Overview
Wild Yam Cream is often marketed as a remedy for menopause symptoms, PMS, migraines, mood swings, fertility issues, and more. Sellers claim it contains natural hormones and hormone-like compounds, making it appealing to many. However, these creams are typically ineffective because they don't contain the hormones they claim to.
Misunderstandings about Wild Yam and Progesterone
Wild yams were used decades ago to derive diosgenin, a chemical used in lab production of progesterone and other hormones. This process led to the misconception that wild yams themselves contain progesterone, which they do not. Unscrupulous sellers exploit this misunderstanding, marketing wild yam products as cures for various ailments.
The Truth about Progesterone Sources
The idea of "natural" sources of progesterone is misleading. Nearly all progesterone today is lab-created. The lab-synthesized version matches naturally occurring progesterone and is called bio-identical progesterone. Unlike synthetic progesterone found in products like Provera and Cycrin, bio-identical progesterone is chemically identical to the kind produced naturally in the body. Most bio-identical progesterone today comes from soy-based compounds.
Clarifying Natural vs. Synthetic
There's a common misconception that natural products are inherently better than synthetic ones. In reality, bio-identical hormones, available through your doctor, are safe and match the body's natural progesterone. Relying on diosgenin, a compound not found in the body, could be harmful. Always consult a healthcare professional to ensure you're choosing the safest option for hormone therapy.
Potential Side Effects of Natural Progesterone
While natural progesterone is considered safer, it can still cause side effects, including:
- Euphoria (depending on dosage)
- Breast tenderness
- Acne as the body adjusts
- Possible suspension of ovulation if used before ovulation
- Spotting in women entering menopause
- Altered cycle time
- Sperm maturation issues in men if overused
- Hives, skin rash, itching
- Increased sunlight sensitivity
- Nausea and headaches
Making Informed Choices
Deciding whether to pursue hormone replacement therapy is personal and should be based on accurate information. Avoid wasting money on ineffective or potentially harmful products. Discuss options with your doctor, who can prescribe bio-identical progesterone if you're uncomfortable with synthetic versions.
