Wild yam root extract (also known as Dioscorea quinata extract, Mexican yam powder, or dioscin-rich extract) is standardized with dioscin, a steroidal saponin with phytoestrogen properties. Unlike conventional yam powder, our extract guarantees diosgenin (customizable from 6% to 20%), along with synergistic polyphenols and allantoin. These compounds work synergistically to address women's health needs, including endocrine regulation, cardiovascular support, and skin health.
The global wild yam extract market is expected to grow at a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR), driven by increasing demand for nutraceuticals (60%), cosmetics (25%), and functional foods (15%). Our OEM-focused, differentiated advantages include precision, purity, and regulatory compliance, along with ultra-low residual solvents (<200 ppm), ensuring compliance with FDA/EU pharmacopoeia standards. The raw yam comes from a certified farm with ISO22000, HALAL, KOSHER and other certifications.
We offer customizable dioscin content (10% to 40%) with high batch-to-batch consistency, verified by HPLC-UV.
Our R&D team optimizes extraction parameters to maximize yield while preserving bioactivity. Active compound recovery is over 95%, with residual solvents less than 10 ppm.
We manage the entire supply chain from organic farming to extraction, ensuring stable pricing and complete batch records.
Custom carrier blends and multi-ingredient premixes (e.g., with black cohosh) are available to optimize your formulation.
