Maca is a root that grows at extreme elevations high in the Andean Mountains of Peru. It looks like a little turnip or radish and is a traditional staple food in Peru. Its Latin name is Lepidium Peruvianum Chacon. It's also known as Peruvian ginseng, or Amazonian ginseng, but isn't related to ginseng at all. This large family of flowering plants is widely studied for their medicinal properties and includes familiar, similarly nutritious vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, and kale.

Maca is known to contain various nutrients, including amino acids and minerals. Maca also contains sterols and fatty acids, such as linolenic, palmitic, and oleic acid.

Due to the number of steroidal glycosides present in Maca root, it is gaining popularity among weight lifters and bodybuilders as a natural alternative to anabolic steroids.*

Maca has been traditionally employed, among other things, to improve sexuality and fertility. Recent scientific studies have demonstrated that Maca supports hormonal balance and both male and female reproductive health.*

Maca's popularity has grown tremendously to grow as people discover that the plant does in fact seem to increase libido, sexual function, and overall energy. The amount of land in Peru dedicated to Maca cultivation is increasing every year as demand for the herb rises, and a number of medical researchers have turned much of their attention to validating the properties of this root.*

In Peru, this herb has been used as an aphrodisiac for both men and women, to increase energy, vitality, stamina, and endurance in athletes, promote mental clarity, for fertility and to increase male seminal fluid volume, sperm count and sperm motility, for treating male impotence and erectile dysfunction, and for female menstrual irregularities and hormone imbalances, including menopause and perimenopause.*

How Maca has been shown to help with Menopause:

Maca works directly to the menopausal root problem, it does not represent any risk for the body, it is not toxic, and is considered an adaptive plant. It may raise the non-specific resistance to disease, is capable of normalizing functions in the body even in disease states, it is non-toxic and harmless to any organ of the body, and is safe for ingestion for long periods as a nutritive (for prevention).*

Maca is used in Peru to alleviate Post Menopausal Symptoms like hot flashes, low libido, depression, and problems with concentration and mood swings. It works entirely different than Black Cohosh, Dong Quai, or Licorice Root.*

The other state involving menopause is post-menopause. For these women, the typical symptoms of menopause have globally disappeared, but the aging process of the body continues. MACA may help to slow and keep youthful skin and preventing vaginal dryness. It also may benefit bone health due to its supportive mineral content. It is also used in Peru to treat and prevent osteoporosis.*

Women with menstrual irregularities who have used Maca have experienced greater consistency, while women with hot flashes, mood swings, and most associated premenopausal and menopause symptoms have diminished dramatically.*

Menopause is a natural progression in a woman's life - it is the cessation of menses generally accompanied by symptoms. This transition is unique for every woman yet there are ways to prevent and diminish the symptoms that typically accompany menopause.*

MACA - has been shown to increase libido and sexual function in both men and women helps decrease menopause symptoms, increase energy and stamina in athletes, promote mental clarity.*
