Starfire Supplements Yucca Root 900mg 200 Capsules

Description

Yucca is a popular herb from a shrub which grows in the southwest U.S. deserts. It has been used by Native American herbalists for hundreds of years. Yucca contains high amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants, both of which can benefit the immune system and overall health. Vitamin C stimulates the production and activity of white blood cells, which fight infections and viruses. The antioxidants yucca contains also protect us from cell mutations and free radical damage. Native Americans have long used yucca for relief from arthritis symptoms, and yucca supplements (often in tablet form) are frequently taken for the same purpose today. Yucca has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe pain. Some research suggests that high-risk groups could potentially prevent the onset of arthritis by taking yucca. Yucca also contains powerful antioxidants and saponins. These substances can decrease arthritis symptoms. Yucca provides multiple skin benefits. Studies have shown that yucca has photoprotective properties, and it may be able to protect against sun damage better than some commercial SPFs. Yucca extract, which is sometimes added to lotions, soaps, or shampoos, can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including: dandruff balding sores and cuts sprains skin diseases and infections The folic acid found in yucca may help improve overall skin and eye health. The high amounts of vitamin C also aid in the production of collagen, the main skin protein. Oxidative stress (a type of imbalance in our cells) can cause serious damage to our bodies. Over time, it contributes to Parkinson s disease, Alzheimer s disease, heart failure, and inflammatory conditions. There is evidence that compounds in yucca, including antioxidants, help protect our bodies from oxidative stress.
