Maca Powder Benefits
Maca is a root from Peru that has been used for hundreds of years to help:
-Increase energy
-Balance hormones
-Thyroid function
-Sexual functioning
-PMS and menopause
-Bone health
-Reduce stress, frustration and depression

Science has already backed up and explained many of these functions:

1. Helps balance out hormones
a. Maca has plant sterols that stimulate endocrine function. Through its effect on the hypothalamus-pituitary axis, Maca has been shown to positively impact ALL of the endocrine glands
b. These sterols improve adrenal, testicular, ovarian, thyroid and pancreas functions
i. In essence, through multiple effects Maca helps to stimulate the endocrine glands, which leads to improved regulation of hormones

How does this balancing of hormones influence our health?

2. Estrogen leveling: Menopause
a. One of the main uses, both traditionally and via modern science, is with helping to treat menopause symptoms
b. There are many herbal alternatives used instead of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), such as soy and red clover extracts
i. These plants have phytoestrogens, which by resembling human hormones can impact Estrogen and Progesterone levels - women can have negative responses similar to HRT
c. Maca works in a different way - rather than through phytoestrogen effects, the alkaloids of the Maca root promote improved endocrine gland function through its effect on the function of the hypothalamus and the pituitary.
i. These non-steroid compounds have fewer adverse responses in women, thus Maca is safe to use to help with these symptoms
3. Helps libido/sex drive
a. This impact on the endocrine glands has also been shown to have a positive effect on sex drive as well as sexual reproductive health
i. Improve fertility, both on the ovaries of women and the testes of men (1)
ii. *Feeling of increased energy! (1)

4. Other benefits
a. Due again to the impact on the whole of the endocrine glands, there are a number of other supported benefits of Maca:
i. General energy improvement
ii. Weight management
iii. Lowers triglyceride levels
iv. Strengthens bones
v. Stress management - lowers cortisol levels
vi. May help depression
*According to the Whole World Botanicals report in 2007, it was found that Maca root could be safer alternative to Hormone replacement Therapy in men and women
