Diosgenin is an extract of wild yam but also found in ginger and fenugreek. It
elicits a broad range of beneficial effects on training and displays some
promising potential to enhance athletic performance. Much like turkesterone
and ecdysterone, diosgenin is able to encourage lean phenotype by acting
directly in muscle and fat tissues and is a relatively underutilised natural plant
steroid. Diosgenin enhances the production of DHEA, an androgen that can
encourage GLUT-4 translocation (sugar uptake into muscle cells as an energy
source). Diosgenin works directly in muscle fibres and also encourages AMPK
activation, which increases metabolism, enhances utilisation of fat as an
energy source via fatty acid oxidation and heightens insulin sensitivity.
