Maca Root Powder
Maca is a root vegetable found growing around 14,000 feet up in the Andes Mountains where it has been cultivated as a food crop for 1000s of years.
Maca contains many trace minerals including:
Zinc Bismuth
Manganese Silica
B vitamins Iodine
Copper Selenium
And is extremely high in:
Calcium Phosphorus
Iron Magnesium
Maca also contains four alkaloids, which are scientifically proven to nourish the endocrine gland. This includes the reproductive systems of both men and women, which is probably why many consider it an aphrodisiac. Maca is also used in the place of HRT in menopausal women, where it helps to regulate and normalise the menstrual cycle. It has also been used in the same way in younger women suffering with PMS, painful, heavy or irregular periods.
The endocrine system and the immune system are closely linked, so Maca is thought to support and strengthen the immune system.
Through providing nourishment and support to these crucial bodily systems Maca helps to strengthen the body making it particularly useful for suffers of Chronic Fatigue system, or those under a lot of stress.
2-3 grams (one heaped teaspoon) per day is all that is needed. This can be added to water, fruit juice, and smoothies or even sprinkled on your cereal.
