plant extract description

Diosgenin powder is a type of steroidal saponin distributed in Solanum and Dioscorea plants, and is a natural phytoestrogen. Monocotyledonous Dioscoreae plants are the main sources of diosgenin, and the amount of diosgenin synthesized by monocotyledonous plants is much higher than that of dicotyledonous plants. In the same yeast strain background and using the same yeast culture conditions, it was found that the function of the diosgenin synthesis gene of monocotyledonous plants is much stronger than that of diosgenin synthesis genes of dicotyledonous plants. Diosgenin exists almost 100% in the form of glycosides in plants. Modern research shows that it has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-diabetic and anti-tumor activities.
