I've been reading a lot about Yams increasing fertility and would love to be able to try them. But I hate the taste of Yams. Is there a capsule or something I can take that gives me the same effect?

actually I read yams can prevent ovulation for women w/pcos due to the high level of starch and sugar in the them, I got this information from a great book called the "infertility cure"

Scroll down there's a small summary of research that has been conducted on an ethnographical basis on yams and their consumption in certain regions of Africa. http://yalemedicine.yale.edu/ym_su99...tm#bottom_menu

This is from a more naturopathic site for infertility. http://infertility.health-info.org/f...ovulation.html

As far as finding them in capsule form, you can find Wild Yams, which is NOT the same as the sweet potato/yams I think you are talking about.
But, I have been told by several naturopathic sources and nutrionist friends that Yams are ONE of the ONLY starchy veggie that is good to eat for PCOS and Insulin Resistancy, because they help control blood sugar and insulin regulation actually.
My uncle who's had diabetes type 2 for 25 yrs, is allowed to eat up to 2 yams/sweet potatoes a day. Not that he does
My mother has an AWESOME recipe for sweet potato/yam bread, I can send it to you if you'd like?
