Some Facts About Wild Yam Cream and Progesterone
Wild Yam Cream has be advertised as a treatment for menopause,
hot flashes, night sweats, PMS, migraine headaches, mood swings,
fertility, larger breasts, heart disease, and osteoporosis. The
people who sell these products claim they contain "natural
hormones" and "hormone like compounds." To many people,
suffering from these conditions, this seems like the perfect
"medicine" to help them. In most cases these creams are not
effective because the product advertised does not contain the
hormone claimed. The fact is, there is no progesterone in the
wild yams, nor can your body make progesterone from the hormone
like compound, diosgenin, in the wild yam. So, why is there such
confusion about this?
The reason this misinformation exists is because a few decades
ago, wild yams were harvested and purified to produce the
intermediate chemical, diosgenin, for progesterone and other
hormone production in the lab. An intermediate means that this
component of wild yams was reacted with other chemicals, in a
laboratory, to make progesterone. People not familiar with this
process thought that these wild yams actually contained
progesterone. This belief is still persistent today and many
unscrupulous business people sell products made from "wild yams"
and claim that they can cure or relieve the symptoms of many
diseases and medical conditions.
As for natural sources of progesterone, that is a misnomer.
Today 99.9% of progesterone is made in a laboratory. However,
the synthesised version of natural progesterone is identical to
naturally occurring progesterone and is referred to as
bio-identical progesterone. The term "synthetic progesterone" is
often used to refer to products such as Provera®, Cycrin® which
are not identical to progesterone. These synthetic versions have
additional chemical groups added to the progesterone molecule,
for a number of reasons. These reasons include improved
absorption (oral dosage forms) and making the molecule
patentable. Today, most bio-identical progesterone is made from
soya intermediates.
There is plenty of literature discussing the benefits of hormone
replacement therapy, however, many people often confuse "natural
and synthetic" as "good and bad." The fact is
that bio-identical
hormones are available from your doctor, if you specify and
state you would prefer to use natural hormones. Just because the
progesterone is synthesised in a laboratory does not mean it is
synthetic or "bad." The fact is, the natural form of
progesterone, unlike the component diosgenin, which is not found
in the human body, is better for you, even though it is made in
a lab. It could be more dangerous to use a hormone like
substance, like diosgenin, that could be harmful to your health.
It is often claimed that natural progesterone has no side
effects, however, it is a hormone, and does have a number of
side effects that you should be aware of, these include:
a feeling of euphoria (based on the amounts used)
breast tenderness possible acne upon initial use as
body adjusts possible acne upon initial use as body
adjusts possible suspension of ovulation if used prior
to ovulation possible spotting in women just starting
menopause alteration of cycle time may prevent
sperm maturation in men when used in excess hives, skin
rash, itching increased sensitivity to sunlight
nausea and headaches
It is always a persons choice as to whether they want hormone
replacement therapy or not, but to make that decision on
unfounded product information is dangerous and could adversely
affect your health. Your doctor can prescribe natural
(bio-identical) progesterone if you are not comfortable with the
synthetic versions like Provera® and Cycrin®. There are many
options for hormone replacement therapy, but make sure you know
the facts and avoid wasting your money on products that don't
work, or could be harmful.
