What is Maca? Maca (Lepidium meyenii), known for its mild honey flavor and energy-boosting properties, is a plant that naturally grows in the central Andes of Peru. The root of maca has been consumed for over 2000 years for both food and traditional medicine. This resilient plant thrives at high altitudes (above 3500 meters) in rocky, barren soil, enduring temperatures as low as -10°C. It's the only edible plant that can grow at such heights! Local populations use it daily as an energy source. Attempts to cultivate maca in different climates and soils have raised doubts about whether the tubers grown elsewhere possess the same qualities, as the root's characteristic part does not develop outside its native environment. Health Benefits: Improves Mood: Maca is rich in healthy compounds, including antioxidants called flavonoids, which are primarily linked to mood improvement and anxiety reduction. Studies on maca root have shown a decrease in feelings of anxiety and depression. Lowers Blood Pressure: Postmenopausal women who took maca supplements experienced a reduction in diastolic blood pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. Positive Impact on Fertility: One of the earliest uses of maca was to support reproductive health. Current research is investigating its effects on various reproductive hormones and potential benefits, with many women reporting hormone balance and relief from some menopausal symptoms. Enhances Stamina: Continuous research has indicated that maca can even boost endurance during physical exercise. Historically used to increase energy, a study in Peru demonstrated improved athletic performance with regular maca consumption. Usage: The recommended dosage is 1 teaspoon of maca powder (5g) once a day. The powder can be consumed on its own or dissolved in a glass of water or juice.
