Organic Maca powder 250g
Peruvian maca root powder is an excellent natural hormone regulator - recommended for the healthy functioning of the female and male hormonal systems.
Maca (pronounced "maca") is a tonic and energizing plant native to South America, grown in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes. It is a wild perennial edible tuberous plant in the same family as radishes. The roots are preserved after drying and are eaten. The plant was used by the Incas for medicinal and culinary purposes as long as 2000 years ago.
It was also used to treat female and male fertility problems, impotence, erectile dysfunction. By regulating ovarian function, it helps to treat menstrual disorders as well as menopausal problems. It is also often referred to as a natural hormone regulator due to its adaptogenic properties. Adaptogenic herbs are plants that are able to adapt to the changes that are constantly taking place in our body to produce their beneficial effects. These plants balance the endocrine glands and the immune system by slowing down overactive and speeding up underactive organs, while leaving the normally functioning organs unaffected, so they only act when and where they are needed. Adaptogenic plants help and make the body more resistant to various physical, chemical or biological stresses.
These special medicinal and root plants have been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine and are now enjoying a renaissance. The term adaptogen was coined by Russian toxicologist Nikolai Lazarev in 1957.
How does maca root powder affect the human body?
Maca is particularly rich in amino acids. This, among other things, may contribute to maca powder's ability to provide long-lasting energy in everyday life without the harmful effects of caffeine.
Consuming it regularly can make you more alert and help you concentrate, making it easier to focus on what's really important. According to a study published in 2009, maca root powder can be a useful source of nutrients for athletes because of its energy-boosting properties, and it can also help improve mood.
Powder from the root of the hormone-regulating maca plant has been used for thousands of years to treat male-female fertility problems, impotence and loss of libido. Even the Incas knew that maca, rich in vitamins B1, B12, C, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium and calcium, was a natural aphrodisiac.
