Protodioscin, a saponin and glycoside, is arguably the most important constituent. According to Donald Yance, it is important for the Protodioscin content be a least 15%. He says that most commercial plant material is .17 to 6.5 %. Therefore, it\u2019s probably best to purchase Puncture Vine from a wild-crafter or small herbal supplier that grows and harvests the plants themselves, or from commercial sources where chemical content is tested.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c237283 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"c237283\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<iframe src=\"\/\/rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?o=1&p=48&l=ez&f=ifr&linkID=5091d5085ff45154f7aee5fb564d5a36&t=askannie-20&tracking_id=askannie-20\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" scrolling=\"no\" border=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2309b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c2309b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Medicinal Properties<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8e9bbf7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8e9bbf7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-95f5b3b\" data-id=\"95f5b3b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fc2420 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1fc2420\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Aphrodisiac, hormone modulator, adaptogen, rejuvenator, restorative, diuretic, antilithic, analgesic, genitourinary tonic, galactagogue, sedative, and nervine.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Energetics<\/strong> \u2013 Puncture Vine is energetically cooling, bitter and sweet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-75e633c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"75e633c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8dd8dd9\" data-id=\"8dd8dd9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04c569f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"04c569f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Medicinal Use of Puncture Vine<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2116d75 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2116d75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tribulus has a long history of medicinal use in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, ancient Greek medicine and more.

The adrenal glands are triangular-shaped glands, located on top of both kidneys, that produce hormones that regulate metabolism and blood pressure. Adrenal glands produce hormones that modulate the immune system, sexual and reproductive function, harmonize blood sugar balance and more.\u00a0<\/p><p>DHEA is produced from cholesterol and is the highest circulating steroid in the body. Interestingly, DHEA does not do much on its own, yet it is an important building block in the production of other hormones like testosterone and estrogen.\u00a0<\/p><p>Human DHEA levels peak in early adulthood, then slowly decrease as we age. In theory, if we raise our DHEA levels, we might slow the aging process and improve physical and mental resilience. Although this has not been proven, some studies do suggest that the steroid could improve some age-related difficulties like vaginal dryness in post-menopausal women, prostate issues for men (like BPH) and improve bone and mineral density in the elderly.
