The yam is an important starch-rich crop and is very important in the diet of some countries. They are also a valuable source of steroid compounds from which adrenocortical hormones can be produced.

The yam root contains steroidal sapogenins (diosgenin), alkaloids, resin and tannins in varying amounts. The root became known to us primarily for its rejuvenating properties. The diosgenin contained in yam root increases the body's own DHEA levels. DHEA is a substance with a variety of functions, in particular it is associated with ageing. DHEA reduces age-related complaints and typical signs of ageing.

Traditionally, yam is used for its relaxing effects on the muscles, its antispasmodic properties for colic and for menstrual and menopausal problems. Yam root is also important for bone health during the menopause in women.

Chromium is an essential trace element. The German Nutrition Society specifies a daily requirement of 30 - 100 μg for adolescents and adults. Older people, those who are malnourished or in stressful situations may require more chromium. Offal, muscle meat, brewer's yeast, nuts and wholemeal products are particularly rich in chromium. Chromium deficiency leads to disorders of the sugar metabolism. Symptoms of deficiency are manifested by nervousness, irritability, moodiness and muscle weakness.
