MACA ROOT is adaptogenic, brings balance to the body and supports energy levels.

Maca root is a powerful adaptogen and offers powerful support for the hormonal system in both Women and Men. According to the USA medical journal, Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, it provides the following benefits.

Nutritional Value: 11% protein, 10% calcium, magnesium, and potassium are also present in significant amounts. Other minerals include iron, silica, and traces of iodine, manganese, zinc, copper, and sodium. The starch hexosane polysaccharide in maca contains calcium, phosphorus, and iron. The vitamins found are thiamin, riboflavin, and ascorbic acid.

Additionally, carbohydrates from maca’s cellulose and lignin are polyholosides. Amino acid proteins in maca include aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine, histidine, glycine, threonine, cyctine, alanine, arginine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, valine, methionine, lysine, tryptophan, proline, hoproline and sarcosine. This research was carried out in 1979 at the Institute of Nutrition Lima.

Effects of Maca on Endocrine glands: Dr Chacon, a biologist, isolated four alkaloids from the maca root and did studies on male and female rats. In a double blind study, those receiving maca powder or the isolated alkloid showed multiple egg follicle maturation in females and, in males, significantly higher sperm production and motility. Dr Chacon established that it was the alkaloids in the maca root, not the plant hormones, that produced fertility effects on the ovaries and testes of rats. Measurable within 72 hours of dosing. Through this research, she deduced that the alkaloids were acting on the hypothalamus-pituitary gland, explaining why both male and female rats were afflicted in a gender-appropriate manner.

This also shows the effects in humans are not limited to ovaries and testes, but also act on the adrenals, offering a feeling of greater energy and vitality, and on the pancreas and thyroid as well.

Hugo Malaspina, MD cardiologist turned wholistic physician says Maca regulates the organs of internal secretion, such as the pituitarty, the adrenal glands, the pancreas etc. He has had 200 female patients whose perimenopausal and postmenopausal symptoms are alleviated by taking maca. Further he ‘encourages women start with maca before menopause, it seems to help the endocrine system stay in balance.’

Jorge A Calderon MD, prescribes maca for a wide variety of conditions, including osteoporaosis and the healing of bone fractures in the very elderly. ‘Maca has a lot of easily absorbale calcium in it, plus magnesium, and fair amount of allies which we are finding very useflu in trreating decalcification of bones in children and adults.’

Dr Aguila Calderon has helped patients with male impotence, male sterility, and female sterility. Additional problems he treats with maca are rickets, various forms of anemia, menopausal symptoms, climacteric and erectile difficulties in men, premature aging, and general states of weakness as chronic fatigue.

Gabriel Cousens. MD uses maca and beleives it has the potential of a balanced answer to the affects of aging on the endocrine system. Many people dissatisfied with phytoestrogens, DHEA, pregnenolone and even natural hormone replacement therapy are getting excellant results from their use of maca root.

Henry Campanile MD used maca on himself due to life long adrenal issues. Within 1 month he felt like a 20 year old. Now he prescribes it to his patients for menopausal symptoms who often experience results within 4 days.

Harold Clark, MD, makes maca a key remedy in his practice, ‘I’m amazed at how fast maca worked on two patients that I have been concerned about for some time.
