Maca is cruciferous vegetable grown in Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina. It is mainly cultivated in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes and comes from same family as the mustard plant. It is used both nutritionally and medicinally as a versatile, adaptogenic herb. Maca helps the body deal with different stressors, balances hormones, boosts energy level, and supports a healthy libido.
Maca boosts energy without the same side effects of caffeine. It is shown to improve mood and help maintain positive energy levels throughout the day and helps balance hormone levels by nourishing and stimulating the adrenal glands. As an adaptogenic herb, it helps support normal hormone production and liver function. It has been shown to help hormonal symptoms women often experience including PMS, hot flashes, and menopause. Maca root is also prized as an aphrodisiac and positively impacts men’s health. Clinical studies show this superfood supports sexual function and a healthy libido, along with normal prostate and sperm function throughout many stages of development.
