Benefits Of Maca Root, Oh By The Way It Helps Your Sex Life?

Maca root powder from Peru is a nutritional powerhouse that has been in use for at least 2000 years. The food is unique in that it affects men and women differently. In this article I detail how and why men use Maca.

Libido

Among the top reasons men choose to take Maca is to restore their libido. Maca works on various levels to support a healthy sex drive. First, it's high nutrient content revitalizes the entire body. Second, Maca works to elevate testosterone levels thereby increasing energy, stamina and vitality. Finally, Maca contains unique nutrients called macaenes and macamides that are associated with supporting healthy libido. Red Maca and Black Maca are favorites for this purpose.

ED

One of the things that Maca does quite well is to increase blood circulation. When combined with a boost in libido, it has been seen to help men overcome mild erectile dysfunction. A recent study of the effects of Maca for men with mild ED showed that more than 1/2 of the patient studied reported "significant' improvements in terms of ED and general sexual well-being. I recommend the Black variety for this purpose.

Fertility

Fertility for both men and women is the longest and most common use of Maca. We know that people indigenous to the high Andes of Peru have used the root to boost both human and livestock fertility for 2000 years. Stretching forward to today, it is still used as a first recourse for couples wanting to conceive in Peru. Recent studies from Switzerland and Peru confirm that Black Maca in particular both raises sperm count and motility and increases sexual desire.

Increased Testosterone

Maca does not contain testosterone or any other hormone. Instead it stimulates the body to produce and regulate hormones in order to achieve a healthy hormone balance. Maca works to raise what is known as "free testosterone" which is a natural testosterone that helps restore youthful energy and even appearance. All Maca colors work well for this purpose.

Prostate

An mportant study published in the Journal Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology 2005; 3:5. concluded that over the course of 42 days: "Red Maca but neither Yellow/Cream nor Black Maca reduced significantly ventral prostate size in rats."

Natural Muscle Building

Maca is anabolic (muscle building). It has a high content of bio-available protein and other nutrients that support healthy, natural muscle growth. It is a favorite supplement among natural bodybuilders as well as an ingredient in many muscle building blends. I recommend Black Maca for muscle building.

Maca for Energy and Stamina

For the people leaving at high elevations in Peru where Maca grows (14,000 feet and above) Maca is essential to maintaining healthy energy and stamina. Several scientific studies have also confirmed that the root has a positive effect on endurance and energy levels. In one study, cyclists were able to bring their 40 km times down significantly after just 12 days on Maca. Another study showed that regular dosage improved stamina among lab mice nearly 20%. Black Maca seems to have the most positive effect for this use.

Strong Bones

In 2010 a team of 6 researchers reported that Red and Black Maca were found to be the best at improving and protecting bone structure. This is in part due to the high calcium content of Maca (nearly 4 times that of milk).

Overcoming Depression

One of the lesser known benefits of Maca for men is for reducing depression. Maca works as a mood up-lifter due to its high nutrient content combined with it's energizing properties. Try Red Maca for this.

Maca for Enhanced Mental Focus, Clarity and Memory

One final use of Maca for men is to boost concentration, memory and learning. A recent study from China (2011) found that Black Maca in particular helped mice improve memory by 10% and speed learning by nearly 15%. In addition, many of our customers have reported a boost in focus and clarity when using Maca. I recommend either Red Maca or Black Maca for this purpose.
