Yucca is the forth main ingredient in Syn-flex (Synflex). For evey one 1/4 oz Syn-Flex (Synflex) serving, there is 3 mg Yucca Powder.
Yucca is the scientific name and is also known by the names Spanish Bayonet, Guardian Of The Desert, Needle Palm, and Soapweed. Other names for Yucca are: Adam's Needle, Bear Grass, Dagger Plant, Joshua Tree, Mohave Yucca, Our-Lord's-Candle, Yucca species.
Yucca, a member of the lily family, grows in abundance throughout the Southwestern United States and Mexico. The part of this plant used medicinally is the root. The root is rich in sponins that elevate your body's ability to produce "natural" cortisone.
Yucca has a lengthy history in the treatment of arthritis and rheumatism. Traditionally, this herb has been used for soap because of its foaming agents. Native Americans used yucca stems for fibers to make baskets, clothing, or mats; the fruits for juice; and the leaves, flowers, fruits, and seedpods for food. Today, Yucca extract is FDA-approved for use as a foaming agent in foods such as beer and soft drinks. It is also used as an additive in flavorings, foods, pet foods, shampoo, and soap.
In 1975, a report was published claiming that a yucca root extract was beneficial in treating arthritis. However, the research has been criticized because it was not well controlled. The fresh (undried) flowers of Yucca are currently being investigated for their potential anti-tumor activity.
