What is Maca?
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a hardy annual plant that grows in the high altitudes of the Peruvian Andes. Maca supplements are from the root of the Maca plant.
The harsh Andes environment causes this plant to be very resilient. Herbalists believe that resilient plants have the best medicinal potential. Maca is no exception. Maca has been shown in many scientific studies to be beneficial in many ways.
What is it used for?
The Maca root contains the most nutritional value. It is high in
protein, fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. More importantly, Maca contains other compounds (e.g. alkaloids) that result in its effects as an adaptogen, hormone regulator and sexual enhancer.
An adaptogen is a substance that raises the body's state of resistance to disease through physiological and emotional health. Maca helps support and rejuvenate overworked hormone glands, such as the adrenal gland, resulting in greater stamina, energy and ability to handle stress.
Hormones play a key role in our body's ability to function. Maca regulates the hypothalamus/pituitary axis, the key regulator site of our body's hormones. In turn, this affects the hormonal glands (e.g. ovaries, testes, pituitary, adrenal) causing them to function properly. The compound responsible is likely alkaloids. However, the exact physiological mechanism of Maca, in regulating hormones levels, is unclear. Studies have shown though that Maca does not work by raising hormone levels in the body
Maca contains other compounds which may offer additional benefits. Maca contains sterols which are known to reduce intestinal absorption of cholesterol, thereby reducing blood cholesterol levels which can positively effect erectile response. Also, glucosinolates in Maca support optimal cell growth.
Maca holds promise as a hormone regulator for men in particular, as many scientific studies support its use. A study in Urology, reported a 400% increase in mating in male rats with erectile disorders. Also, a human intervention trial (male) noted an increase in sexual desire of 180% and a 200% increase in sperm count. The science behind the use of Maca in women is promising but lacking major human intervention trials.
