Maca Powder - Health Benefits

Thanks to its energizing effects and ability to increase stamina and endurance in athletes Maca is growing in world popularity. Other traditional uses include fertility enhancement, maximizing sexual performance, promoting mental clarity, nutritional support for age related male impotence, helping with female hormonal imbalances including menopause, menstrual irregularities, and daily fatigue.

It is used as a natural alternative to anabolic steroids by bodybuilders due to its richness in natural plant sterols. Today, dried Maca roots are ground to powder and used as a food supplement to increase stamina and fertility.

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is an indigenous plant of the Peruvian and Bolivian highlands in the Andes Mountains. Native Peruvians have cultivated the plant for centuries using the root as a food staple. The plant grows best at high altitudes (above 11,000 feet) and in poor soils. Scientists believe this somehow contributes to its effects. It resembles a radish or turnip.

Health Benefits of Maca offers support in several different areas:

• Enhance fertility in both men and women
• Aids in general fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome
• Improve libido
• Provide energy boost
• Help with stress
• Change hormone levels during menopause
• Help control irregular menstrual bleeding
  

Science Confirms the Benefits of Maca.
Maca contains important nutrients including amino acids and fatty acids. The nutrients support a healthy pituitary gland. This gland produces precursor hormones resulting in increased levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

Maca’s reported effects on sexual performance were confirmed in a study published in the April 2000 issue of Urology. Chemical analysis shows maca contains p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, a reported aphrodisiac.

In Peruvian herbal tradition, Maca Root is also used to stimulate the immune system as well as to enhance memory. Maca is used by natives in large quantities for stamina and energy. Its impact may be due to its high content of nutrients such as amino acids and complex carbohydrates, rather than to any specific substance's action.
