So I was searching the internet to come up with my own boobie grow concoction and saw that alot of boobie grow suppliments have Wild Yam. So I went one a wild yam search and I found this:
Hormonal properties (to mimic estrogen, progesterone, or DHEA)
Despite popular belief, no natural progestins, estrogens, or other reproductive hormones are found in wild yam. Its active ingredient, diosgenin, is not converted to hormones in the human body. Artificial progesterone has been added to some wild yam products. The belief that there are hormones in wild yam may be due to the historical fact that progesterone, androgens, and cortisone were chemically manufactured from Mexican wild yam in the 1960s.
Here is the site I found it at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/patient-wildyam.html
If this is true, I don't think I would take it.

I think those who take wild yam are taking it for its estrogenic properties, not for progesterone.
