What to know
Wild yam contains diosgenin, a plant compound that laboratories can convert into progesterone and other hormones. The human body cannot make that conversion, so wild yam is not a natural source of progesterone. The few trials on wild yam for menopause symptoms have not shown a clear benefit.
