Maca is the highest altitude growing plant in the world. Maca resembles a radish and is related to the potato family. There are four recognized types of Maca Root based on the color of the root, which varies from creamy yellow or light pink to dark purple or black.
As a nutritional supplement, Peruvian Maca has generalized tonic effects on the biochemical functioning of the human body. One of these effects is the enhancement of endocrine function, which includes all of the glands, and the hormones they secrete, that exist in the body and that control such conditions as fertility, sexual function, digestion, brain and nervous system physiology, and energy levels. Hormonal regulation is responsible for sensations related to sexual arousal, physical activity and mental-emotional states.
Maca root has also been called an adaptogen. Adaptogens are by definition substances that raise the physical body's state of resistance to diseases through physiological and emotional health improvements. Maca supports and rejuvenates overwhelmed, tired adrenal glands eventually resulting in greater energy, stamina, clarity of mind and an improvement in handling stress.
Known Modern Applications:
Traditionally, Maca supplements have been used for a variety purposes, for both men and women. Maca relieves the symptoms of PMS and menopause, including hot flashes and night sweats. Men have used it to enhance fertility and sexual function. Men and women find it significantly boosts libido and sex drive. Maca has been used as an alternative to anabolic steroids among athletes because it has no chemicals that interfere with or over-activate normal endocrine function.
What is Gelatinized Maca?
Gelatinization is a process that removes starch from the root leaving a more concentrated powder that is easier to digest. Choose gelatinized Maca for greater potency and optimal absorption. It also tastes much better and mixes easier into food and beverages.
