Important safety information - please read before use
Chinese yam is an edible food and generally well tolerated, but a few notes apply.
- Hormones: it contains diosgenin, which has mild estrogen-like activity, so if you have a hormone-sensitive condition or take hormone medicines, talk to your doctor before using concentrated amounts. (Note: diosgenin is not converted into DHEA, progesterone or estrogen in the body, despite common marketing claims.)
- Pregnancy / nursing: although it is a traditional food, safety data for concentrated extracts is limited - do NOT use it during pregnancy without medical advice, and consult a practitioner before use if you are breastfeeding.
- Raw tuber: the fresh raw tuber can irritate the skin, mouth and throat because of calcium-oxalate crystals - much less of an issue in an extract, but handle raw yam with care.
- Do not use it to self-treat any medical condition - see a qualified doctor instead. Do not give it to infants or young children. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children.
