Pure Maca Root Extract
Maca, (Lepidium Meyenii), is native to the highlands of Peru. Maca has been dubbed “Peruvian ginseng,” though it bears no actually relation to ginseng. But like ginseng, the root increases strength, energy, stamina, libido and sexual function. For this reason maca was named “Peru’s Natural Viagra”. Dried Maca contains about 59% carbohydrate, and 10% protein, a lipid content of 2.2%, and a number of sterols, including sitosterol, campestrol, ergosterol, brassicasterol and ergostadienol. Maca is also a good source of iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium and iodine. The keys to maca’s sex and stamina effects appear to be two groups of novel compounds called macamides and macaenes. Today, the dried roots of the Maca plant are ground to a fine powder to increase fertility and boost energy. Maca, like a great many natural supplements, is known as an adaptogen. This means it has the ability to work with the individual, to normalise the body’s systems and help balance hormones such as testosterone, oestrogen and progesterone, this also makes it an ideal supplement for people suffering from acne. Maca is a good source of protein and rich in essential amino acids, fatty acids, alkaloids, sterols, tannins and phytochemicals. Maca is also rich in minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron, silica, iodine, vitamins B1, B2, B12, C & E. Maca is used by people suffering from low sex drive and performance. Many women find it particularly helpful for menstrual pain, fatigue, hot flashes and menopausal symptoms.
