Citrus Yucca Extract

Citrus Yucca Extract – flavored with citrus, begins with a type of yucca plant that is a native plant of the desert southwest and northern Mexico. Yucca glauca, otherwise known as soapweed, Spanish bayonet, Great Plains yucca and beargrass, has a history that goes back hundreds of years. This desert plant has traditionally been used for several medicinal applications as well as being prized for its soap-like quality. It’s that soap-like quality that gives the plant its soapweed nickname and points to one of its major beneficial components – saponins.

Benefits of Saponins

Natural saponins, by themselves have a bitter taste and until recently have been mainly used as a treatment for joint pain in animals such as horses and dogs. Saponins are also being used as a food additive in bovine feed to reduce ammonia in their waste byproducts. Recent research has now found another important benefit for humans that can come from saponins that are stored in abundance in the root of yucca plants.

Heart Healthy Saponins

Besides being good for arthritic and swollen joints in humans and their pets, saponins have now been proven to be good for human hearts. More specifically, research studies indicate that saponins can significantly lower cholesterol levels in the blood, especially LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) as well as triglycerides. Elevated triglyceride levels may contribute to hardening of the arteries, otherwise known as arteriosclerosis, which increases the risk of stroke, heart attack and heart disease. Natural saponins are able to help lessen the amount of these two risky components in the blood of humans.
