Does Soy foods Affect Wild Yam?

Amount or timing may matter

The short answer

Wild yam contains diosgenin with progestogenic activity. Soy isoflavones' estrogenic effects may counteract wild yam's hormonal balance support.

How to arrange timing

Avoid concurrent use of wild yam supplements with soy-heavy meals for hormonal balance purposes.
