A member asked:
Can wild yam extract be beneficial for men?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Wild yam has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. Though traditionally used for a variety of female complaints, wild yam is also marketed as an alternative medicine (oral supplement or cream) to treat erectile dysfunction, increase libido, penile enhancement, and other male-related sexual issues. In my opinion, there is currently no "reputable" evidence available to support such claims.
