Studies have found that yam polysaccharide has anti-fatigue, immune regulation, anti-aging, improvement of sexual function, lowering blood sugar, lowering blood fat, anti-oxidation, liver protection, neuroprotection, prevention of Alzheimer's disease, antibacterial, regulating intestinal flora, anti-stress and other functional activities. The composition and structure of yam polysaccharides are relatively complex. Yam polysaccharides include homopolysaccharides, heteropolysaccharides and glycoproteins, and their glycosyl compositions and contents are also different. The glycosyl compositions mainly include glucose, galactose, rhamnose, arabinose, Sugars, mannose and glucuronic acid.

Hypoglycemic effect
Yam mucus and polysaccharides can stimulate and regulate the body's immune system, lower blood sugar, and enhance the body's resistance. The results of the study showed that yam has certain anti-diabetic effects, which may be related to increasing insulin secretion and improving the function of damaged islet β cells.
Anti-aging, anti-oxidation
The study found that there is a certain correlation between the anti-free radical activity of yam and the content of polyphenolic components in the extract. The study also found that yam saponin has a strong ability to scavenge hydroxyl free radicals: it has a strong Fe3+ reducing ability, and the reducing ability increases with the increase of concentration, but it is not as good as the reducing ability of vitamin C at the same concentration.
