KNOW A BIT MORE ABOUT MACA

Native to Peru, and more specifically to the Andes region, it grows mainly on high-altitude plateaux (around 4,000 m altitude) in fairly extreme conditions. This small plant has no visible stem, and its leaves lie low to the ground. It is the large, oval, cream-coloured root that is eaten by the region’s inhabitants.

Initially used for its nutritional value, it is also reputed in traditional Peruvian medicine to have numerous virtues, including relieving sexual and reproductive problems, anaemia, joint pain and depression. In all cases, it is advisable to consult your doctor before starting a maca cure.

Research on maca

Maca, in doses of 3.5 g a day, has had a positive effect on the quality of life of women undergoing menopause. In particular, it has reduced certain psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression and sexual dysfunction.

In a preliminary trial conducted in the United States, taking 3g of maca a day for 4 weeks increased the libido of people taking antidepressants. However, maca is probably not a real aphrodisiac, and its effects on sexual activity are due more to its tonic action on the body as a whole.
