Maca Powder/ Extract

Maca has long been used as a natural aphrodisiac and is believed to enhance sexual function and libido in both men and women.

Some studies suggest maca may relieve menopausal symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats and poor sleep.

Research to date is limited, but of the studies that have been done, one small trial in 2015 also reported improvements in blood pressure and depression when consuming maca powder over a period of just 12 weeks. Further studies support these findings, with improvements reported in anxiety, depression and sexual dysfunction.

Maca has adaptogenic properties, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress. Quality maca root extract powder can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, promoting a better mood and improved mental clarity.

Maca is known for its ability to boost energy levels. It can help combat fatigue and improve stamina, making it popular among athletes and those looking for a natural energy boost. Due to its energy-boosting properties, maca extract may improve athletic performance and endurance levels. It may also aid in muscle recovery after exercise.

Native Peruvians are said to use maca to improve their children’s learning in school. Animal studies also support its ability to improve brain function and memory in the elderly.
