Maca Power - Natures
Wonder food
Maca is a root that looks similar to a raddish, sometimes
being called Peruvian Gingsing, and only grows in the Andes. This root grows many thousands of feet above sea
level, and has been consumed by native growers for many thousands of years. Maca is mostly sold in a powdered
form, and is perfect as a nutritional adjunct to an often nutrient deprived
diet.
Hormonal
health
Maca root powder is especially
high in the elements magnesium, zinc, iron and calcium. Maca assists in regulating the menstrual
cycle and reducing pre menstrual discomfort. For men, maca has been shown to increase ones stamina and libido, and has been used in sexual health
clinics to assist with impotence.
Maca root stimulates the body's endocrine system via the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, thus positively balancing the entire hormonal
equilibrium of the body. This not only harmonizes our internal environment, but also assists in fighting
pathogenic stressors by boosing the immune system.
How Should I take it?
Maca powder can be taken via a number of ways, including raw, cooked within dishes and even
sprinked over your morning breakfast cerial! Maca is more of a wholistic supplement, and therefore can be
consumed more liberally. Initially, half to one complete teaspoon twice daily is suitable for most - but as maca
root stabilizes hormone levels in both men and women, just be mindful to cut back the dosage as symptoms
improve.
