Description
What is Maca? (Lepidium meyenii)
Maca is well-recognized for its ability to enhance libido and sexual vitality in both men and women. Also called "Peruvian Ginseng,” Maca increases energy, sex drive, and stamina by its tonifying and strengthening effect upon the entire body and hormonal system.
Considered an ‘adaptogen,’ a category of nutrients that strengthen our resistance to stress and improve overall endurance and health, Maca has been used by the peoples of the Andes for centuries as both a food and a medicine. The root has an extremely high nutritional value and is a primary staple of this region, being cooked either as a root vegetable or made into flour.
In addition to enhancing sexual health vitality, Maca is also traditionally used to support a positive mood and sense of wellbeing.
Maca is also renowned for enhancing fertility. Studies have shown that men taking Maca have increased seminal volume, better sperm motility, and higher sperm counts, all of which are important for ensuring fertility. In women, Maca is exceptional for balancing the delicate cascade of female hormones necessary for healthy sexual functioning and optimal fertility – including the ability to ovulate, conceive, and maintain a pregnancy. Enhancing female hormone balance can also alleviate painful menstrual dysfunction and assist in a smoother menopause. Maca root is very useful for hot flashes that often accompany this transition in a woman’s life.
Maca’s ability to normalize and balance the hormones in both men and women is very likely due to its remarkably rich nutrient profile. It provides optimum levels of many amino acids, minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, starches, and sterols that nourish the body’s endocrine (hormonal) system, specifically the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA is a very important neurotransmitter and hormone-messaging system in the body.

Can I take Maca Root with prescription drugs?
If you are on any medications, we recommend that you inform your doctor of any supplements or natural remedies you are considering taking, prior to using.
Are there any side effects or precautions?
Diets low in iodine should use Maca only under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider. Maca contains glucosinolates which can cause goiter (swollen thyroid gland) if taken in excess and combined with a low-iodine diet. This has been documented to occur with other glucosinolate-rich foods.
