The effects of maca

Maca is a cruciferous plant native to the Andes Mountains of South America. It has oval leaves and a root resembling a small round radish. Rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iodine, it is considered a treasure due to its ability to enhance physical strength, energy, and fertility. Studies show that maca has nourishing and strengthening effects, regulates physiological functions, and aids sleep. Maca roots come in three colors: yellow maca is the most common and can improve energy, concentration, and hormone balance; red maca has the sweetest taste and is most beneficial for female hormone balance and bone health; black maca is the rarest and is most effective in strengthening muscles, improving mental focus, and libido. The phytochemicals in maca also have antioxidant and endocrine-regulating effects, lower blood pressure, alleviate sexual dysfunction and negative emotions, and protect the health of both men and women.

Maca Consumption Recommendations

The standard dosage for consuming dried maca powder or gelatinized maca is usually 1,500-3,000 mg once or twice daily. Long-term consumption helps maintain physical strength and vitality. For greater therapeutic effects, a dosage of 1.5-3 grams daily is recommended. However, individual responses to maca vary depending on constitution, lifestyle, and health condition. Furthermore, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children, and individuals with endocrine or hormonal disorders should avoid consuming maca.
