yucca saponins extract

Product Details

1. Product Introduction

Organic Yucca Extract is made from 100% natural yucca extract from the plant Yucca Schidigera. 

Yuccas are common garden plants with pointed leaves. It is a perennial shrub plant native to Central America. This plant is usually used as an ornamental plant but the root of the plant can also be consumed. Yucca leaves have been used since long ago by people native to America especially Athabaskan people to make rope, thread, and baskets while yucca root has been used for culinary and medicinal purposes. The name yucca derived from Carribean word for cassava. That is why some people are getting confused about the difference between yucca and yuca which is known as cassava.

Yucca has other names such as Spanish Bayonet, Guardian Of The Desert, Needle Palm, Soapweed, Lord’s Candle, and The Joshua Tree. The common name “Yucca” includes more than 40 species such as Yucca glauca, Yucca baccata, and other Yucca species, which are used interchangeably with Yucca filamentosa.

Yucca contains a high number of carbohydrates and some amounts of bioactive substances, such as Vitamin A, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, calcium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, and manganese. The main active chemical component of yucca is saponin. Saponin is a natural steroid found in yucca usually used to create foam and make shampoo. Saponin is also well known as an outside and inside cleaner. People know that the yucca plant can help to sanitize and clean the environment by getting rid of waste and microorganisms. Since they know that they also contain saponin that can clean from the inside, people start to consume yucca roots. Yucca root not only contains nutrients but also has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

Yucca Extract can also be used as a wetting agent for nutrient solutions and foliar sprays and is great for flushing excess salts from the root zone. When used on soils, it helps water and nutrients penetrate deeper and more evenly into the root zone. We recommend adding a pinch (1/16 tsp per 5 gallons) of organic yucca to all foliar, nutrient, and flush solutions. Works in conjunction with all nutrient and feeding programs.

Yucca extract is often used as a natural surfactant or wetting agent. Yucca schidigera contains saponins, a soapy, steroidal-like substance that acts as a natural spreader/sticker for horticultural use. It only takes a little yucca extract to be effective. As little as 1/16th teaspoon will treat over 5 gallons of water. Yucca helps water and nutrients penetrate deeper into the root zone, and yucca’s natural cleaning action helps keep drip emitter lines from clogging.

Features in Agriculture Field

① Great to Add to Foliar Sprays

Surfactants like yucca extracts are great to add to foliar sprays. Water is a polar molecule; it holds a small positive charge on one side of the water molecule and a negative charge on the other. That’s why water beads up on a waxy surface. But the natural saponins in yucca extracts depolarise the water molecule, allowing foliar sprays to spread out more evenly on the waxy leaf surface. The thin film that is created covers a greater surface area on the leaf for better and more even absorption by the plant cells.

② Helps with Water and Nutrient Absorption

Yucca in and of itself is also good for plants, helping with water and nutrient absorption and acting as a plant protection agent. For example, yucca extracts are taking the place of copper sulphate in much of Europe to help prevent and treat fungal diseases such as apple scabs. Yucca offers a natural alternative to petroleum-based surfactants and chemical sprays, and it’s completely safe for the environment. Yucca is great for flushing excess salts from plant roots. Nutrient salts tend to build up in the growing medium due to repeated wetting and drying of the fertilizer mixture. Over time, the salt build-up makes it harder and harder for the plant to take up water, and the plant begins to suffer from salt stress. Yucca makes water “wetter”. Its surfactant action allows the water to penetrate deeper into the soil and flush away more of the accumulated salts from the root zone. As a result, plants are able to use water more efficiently and recover more quickly from the symptoms of drought stress.

③ Valuable Addition to Microbial Inoculants

Organic yucca extracts are also a valuable addition to compost teas and other microbial inoculants. Since yucca contains complex sugars, it is a stable carbon source for plant-growth-promoting microorganisms in the root zone. Microorganisms convey many benefits to plants, including the mineralization of organic matter, improved root growth, and induced resistance to pests and disease. So over time and with continuous use, yucca will help stabilize soil pH, decrease soil compaction, and increase the availability of essential trace elements to the roots.

④ Helps Minerals & Organics Keep in Suspension

Yucca extracts are sometimes added to concentrated nutrient formulas, especially when mixing mineral salts with organics. Yucca helps keep minerals and organics in suspension with each other in concentrated form. Sometimes the higher molecular weight organic molecules tend to settle out of the solution. But if the solution contains yucca, a quick shake will disperse everything back into suspension for the perfect blend. Yucca extracts foam when shaken or vigorously stirred, though, so yucca is usually added to the mixing tank last.

Benefits

(1) Aids in Digestion

The dense and nutrient-rich root of the yucca plant means that it is full of dietary fiber. This fiber can help stimulate peristaltic motion in your bowels and keep you regular, eliminating problems like constipation and diarrhea. A diet high in dietary fiber can also help you reduce bloating, cramping, excessive flatulence, and more serious gastrointestinal issues.

(2) Weight Loss

Due to the fact that dietary fiber makes you feel full and regulates the uptake of nutrients in an efficient way, you are less likely to snack or break from your dietary restrictions. Simple sugars often leave us feeling hungry when we’re not, simply because our body’s glucose levels are imbalanced. Organic yucca extract can prevent that and help in your weight loss efforts in a way that other carbohydrates can’t.

(3) Manages Diabetes

According to an animal study by the African Journal of Biochemistry Research, yucca can be used as a supportive agent in reducing blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.

(4) Improves Heart Health

The dietary fiber of yucca plant extract can help lower cholesterol levels and promote a healthier cardiovascular system by balancing fatty acid levels. However, the potassium found in yucca can also help relieve the tension in the blood vessels and arteries, thereby lowering your chances of stress on the heart, which can lead to atherosclerosis, strokes, and heart attacks.

(5) Boosts Immunity

Food-grade yucca extract has a high level of vitamin C, far more than most other edible roots, and this makes it incredibly important for the immune system. Vitamin C is the first line of defense for our immune system, stimulating the production and activity of white blood cells. Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant, preventing free radicals from damaging our organs and causing cell mutation.

(6) Speeds Wound Healing

Vitamin C is also a key component in the production of collagen, which we need for all blood vessels, cells, tissues, and muscles, so adding a vitamin C boost to your diet can help repair and growth throughout your body.

(7) Relieves Arthritic Pain

The resveratrol and saponins present in Organic Yucca Extract have been directly linked to anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, making it a very good natural treatment for inflammation issues, particularly arthritis. Studies have shown that there is a strong correlation between the two, but the precise chemical pathway remains somewhat mysterious.

(8) Improves Cognition

The high levels of potassium and folate, both of which are known to stimulate blood flow to the brain and increase cognitive abilities, make schidigera yucca extract a brain food. Stimulating pathways in the brain and increasing blood flow are also good for combating cognitive disorders and keeping you sharp well into your old age.

(9)Antioxidant Properties

Folic acid has also been connected to improving the overall skin and eye health in humans, mainly through its antioxidant activities. Furthermore, folic acid has been directly linked to a reduced chance of neural tube defects in infants, so pregnant mothers are encouraged to add folic acid to their diet in the recommended amounts. Organic Yucca Extract is a great way to boost that vitamin intake!

(10) Skin Care

There are some photoprotective properties of yucca that make it important for protecting the skin against damage from the sun. The resveratrol found in food-grade yucca extract is proven to strengthen skin and increase its resistance to degradation from free radicals and sun damage.

Application
