1. What is Yucca Extract?

Yucca Extract is derived from the stems and roots of Yucca schidigera, a desert plant traditionally used in North America for centuries. It contains steroidal saponins, polyphenols, and antioxidants. These compounds are valued for their surface-active properties, potential ammonia binding in animal feed, and formulation support in cosmetics and functional foods. AIHerba’s extraction methods ensure high saponin content, minimal impurities, and reproducible quality suitable for industrial applications.
