How does Maca work? You may have heard about people using Maca as an aphrodesiac or a supplement during menopause, but it does more than just support the proper balance of sex hormones. Centuries of traditional use in Peru indicate that Maca has the power to support health and energy levels. Recently, decades of research have revealed that Maca contains a host of unique and powerful nutrients, including special alkaloids that interact with your pituitary gland - the master gland which regulates the activity of all the hormone-producing glands in the body, from the reproductive organs to the thyroid.
Maca is classified as an "adaptogen" because instead of pushing your body in one direction or the other, its effects "adapts" to your bodies needs, creating balance where there was imbalance. This is why people who use maca regularly report a wide variety of effects, from having more energy or stronger libido, to feeling more at ease and resilient under stress. Some holistic doctors are even recommending Maca to their older patients as an alternative or an adjunct to hormone replacement therapy.
Instead of coffee or tea for your morning pick-me-up, try blending a spoonfull of maca into a smoothie, or mix with cacao powder for an amazing energizing effect!
From a mineral standpoint, Maca root exceeds both potatoes and carrots in value, and is an excellent source of iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iodine, and contains vitamins B-1, B-2, B-12, C, and E.
Dried Maca root weighs in at about 59% carbohydrates (starches and sugars), 9% fiber, and slightly more than 10% protein. It has a higher lipid (fat) content than other root crops (2.2%), of which linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acid are the primary fatty acids, respectively.
Maca root is also a rich source of sterols (phytonutrients that may help lower cholesterol levels). Maca's sterols include sitosterol, campestrol, ergosterol, brassicasterol, and ergostadienol.
