energy, libido, and hormone balance.
Potential health benefits of maca
Increases libido
Maca is most well-known for its effect on sexual desire. Studies in both men and women have shown that maca may increase libido and improve sexual function. A 2008 study found that maca consumption improved sexual function and psychological symptoms in postmenopausal women.
Boosts energy and endurance
Maca is popular as a supplement for boosting energy and fighting fatigue without the jitters associated with caffeine. Studies have indicated that maca may increase endurance and improve mood.
Improves menopausal symptoms
In postmenopausal women, maca has been shown to reduce psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression. Some studies suggest it can also help manage other menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes and night sweats.
May enhance male fertility
Research suggests that maca may improve certain aspects of male fertility. Some studies have found that supplementing with maca can lead to an increase in sperm concentration and motility. However, it is not yet clear if this directly translates to improved fertility.
Supports brain health
Maca contains compounds that may offer neuroprotective benefits, with some animal studies showing improvements in memory and learning. It is also linked to improved mental clarity and mood stability.
Provides antioxidant protection
The root is rich in antioxidants, which help neutralize free radicals in the body and protect against oxidative stress. This may reduce the risk of chronic diseases and protect cells from damage.
