SUN GOLD 75% PURE YUCCA: Often used for conditions such as hipdysplasia, bone and joint problems and soft tissue swellings. There are no fillers in this product, compared with other brands, which may contain less than 1 % actual yucca. Yucca has been awarded an FDA Food Classification (para 21 CFR 172 510). Research from the National Arthritis Medical Center (reported in the Journal of Applied Nutrition) states that yucca extracts are effective for a number of types of arthritis. Pederson (1991) also cites research in which yucca has successfully been used for arthritis, rheumatism and related disorders. These conditions are thought to arise because of a buildup of toxins within the joints, and yucca works by helping to eliminate these toxins. Yucca contains a high level of Steroid Saponins (natural glucosides). Saponin is a natural pain killer and is the precursor to synthetic cortisone. Saponin has also been shown to increase an animal's ability to resist stress. Solid Gold Sun Gold 75 % Yucca is made up of 25 % anise and peppermint. Anise is often used for its carminitive effects (ability to relieve gas from the digestive tract). It also has anti inflammatory and anti spasmodic properties and helps to cleanse the liver and kidneys. Yucca is a surfactant, (which means it makes water wetter) this aids in absorption of food and also controls stool odor and body odor. Peppermint is renowned for its ability to soothe the intestines, aid digestion and relieve gas. It releases endorphins in the brain, which are natural pain killing substances that are produced by the nervous system. Peppermint also has beneficial effects for irritable bowl syndrome and colitis (Liu et al, 1997). Solid Gold SeaMeal should always be used in conjunction with our Solid Gold Yucca. The Yucca helps to reduce pain and swelling and the SeaMeal helps to rebuild damaged cell tissues. Yucca has the ability to work from the inside out (i.e. when added to the food) and also from the outside in. Solid Gold Aloe Si is a liniment for topical application, with yucca in a base of jojoba oil. Jojoba penetrates through the skin to allow the Yucca to work from the outside in. Available in 8oz, 1 Lb and 3 Lb containers.
