Essence MACA 500 mg. Dietary supplement in the form of capsules containing maca root extract (Lepidium meyenii).
Lepidium meyenii is a small plant, the above-ground and underground parts of which are edible. It is worth emphasizing because the indigenous people of Peru have known it for hundreds of years. It is treated both as a food and a valuable supplement used for its valuable properties.
Maca - what is this plant?
Maca, or Lepidium meyenii, is a root from the Andean region that has been cultivated for at least 2,000 years. Maca is rich in fibre, a large number of essential amino acids, fatty acids, and other nutrients, including vitamin C, copper, iron, and calcium. In addition to these essential nutrients, this root contains bioactive compounds responsible for beneficial effects on the human body, which has resulted in a significant increase in its consumption in the last 20 years around the world (1).
Maca is of great importance to the indigenous people of Peru
Maca is an integral part of the diet of the indigenous people of Peru, used both as food and medicine. Traditionally, maca is used, among others. as a tonic to overcome stress and fatigue, or as a fertility enhancer in humans and cattle. An interesting fact is that the Andeans consume more than 100 g of maca a day, and the boiled roots are used in jams, alcoholic cocktails or local dishes, e.g. empanadas (2).
Maca and sexual performance. Is it working?
And can a centuries-old tradition be wrong? Maca has been used for centuries in the Andes Mountains to increase fertility in humans and animals. There is evidence that maca root products improve sexual function in healthy populations. Although maca is a plant extract, it is one of the most cited "natural ways" to improve your sex drive on the Internet. The hypothesis that maca may support the improvement of sexual function is supported by several pieces of evidence, and it is probably due to the presence of phytosterols or phytoestrogens in maca (3).
Properties of Lepidium meyenii
Maca is a plant with precious properties. Lepidium meyenii supports physical and mental fitness and helps maintain optimal endurance, feelings and vitality. Maca is an aphrodisiac, stimulates sexual desire and has a beneficial effect on fertility. It helps in maintaining natural sexual activity and energy (4).
