Mexican Yam Extract
This product, Mexican Yam Extract by Higher Nature, is a botanical supplement primarily featuring two forms of Wild Yam. Each serving provides 150mg of Mexican Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa) rhizome standardized extract and 200mg of Wild Yam (Dioscorea opposita) rhizome standardized extract, totaling two ingredients. The product received an N+ Score of 46, earning an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average quality assessment. Research on wild yam often explores its potential in women's health, though specific clinical dosages for these extracts are not well-established, and no ingredients are noted to be at clinical doses. Its low score suggests limited evidence for efficacy at the provided dosages, making it less ideal for those seeking strong, evidence-backed botanical support.
