Maca

Maca is a root from Peru that has been known to increase energy, stamina, athletic performance, relieve impotence and enhance fertility. It has the qualities of an aphrodisiac, helps the symptoms of male menopause, can correct erectile dysfunction, balance the hormones and increase sperm count. One frequently asked question is about any maca powder side effects.

The benefits for men of Maca are that it enhances libido, increases energy, stamina and endurance, helps overcome depression, produces a general sense of well-being, helps in stress treatment, helps fight acne from hormonal imbalance and increases the level of testosterone. Many people find it most convenient to take Maca capsules or tablets.

Its properties have been researched in different parts of the world. The studies have been conducted in rats and mice; only one study has been conducted in healthy human beings.

An increase in the number of coitus is observed in the rodents within this group of benefits. It also favors the spermiation, which is the release of spermatozoids through the seminiferous tubules, and it improves the weight when the second generation of rats are born, after a dietetic substitution of Maca with the balanced food.

Chinese research on mice with erectile dysfunction that were treated with maca should be deepened before being disclosed, since they are prone to be misinterpreted, and such research says Maca is an Andean viagra or a vegetable viagra, while the true effect of this plant does not consist of merely gonad-related action.

The study carried out in humans reports an action of Maca in its gelatinized form, on the improvement of the seminal liquid quality. This is the only study so far conducted in human beings and it corroborates -for the benefit of many people- the fact that the experimental studies in laboratory animals are encouraging.

It is noteworthy that the studies should be serious and should report to the consumer that this plant is not an aphrodisiac. It has more properties and it is rich in compounds. There is still a lot to be researched about Maca.
