The diosgenin and resistant starch yam powder have similar effects to insulin, which can slow down the decomposition of carbohydrates into glucose, preventing drastic fluctuations in blood sugar after meals. A stable blood sugar level can reduce secretion and lower the efficiency of fat synthesis, especially suitable for people with insulin resistance and obesity.
