The Many Benefits of Maca

Posted by The Maca Team on 21st Jun 2024

If you’ve done any kind of research into maca as you consider adding it to your diet, you’ve probably heard it all by now - maca can save your sex drive! Maca can cure your depression! Maca can help you lose weight! Maca can fight cancer! It’s understandable that you’d read the claims with some measure of incredulity. After all, it’s hard to believe that a little root could really do so much. But the research is in, and while studies are ongoing, there’s no denying the facts: that maca root is a truly amazing superfood that can improve the quality of your life and health.

Maca for Libido and Fertility

When you start looking into maca root’s benefits, maca’s impact on sex drive is probably the first thing that comes up. Its effect on sex drive is perhaps one of its most celebrated attributes. After all, maca has been helping prospective parents conceive for nearly 2000 years. It was even fed to livestock to ensure their continued health and virility.

Studies confirm that maca can contribute toward enhanced sperm count and motility. It also helps reduce the effects of erectile dysfunction, as well as reversing some effects of sexual dysfunction in women.

Maca for Your Brain

Did you know that maca can help with concentration? Maca was consumed historically as much for its help with cognitive function as with sexual function. Maca can help you maintain focus and concentrate better. It’s also been found to act as a neuroprotectant, and it’s been credited with slowing down age-related cognitive decline.

Maca for Stress and Anxiety

Maca can help improve your mood! The research doesn’t lie - maca has been found to reduce stress and anxiety. So how does it do that? Maca is an adaptogen, meaning that it’s a naturally-occurring substance that helps the body respond to outside stressors. That doesn’t just mean physical stress - it helps your mind react to sources of anxiety, as well. Maca is also nutrient-dense and rich in antioxidants, combating oxidative stress within the body. And, of course, by boosting your energy, maca helps prepare you to face anything that comes your way!

Maca for Energy and Stamina

Maca isn’t a miracle worker - it should always be part of a balanced diet and regular exercise routine. If that sounds a bit daunting, no need to fear - maca can help with that. Studies have shown that regular consumption of maca can help the body bounce back from strenuous exercise more readily. Historically, ancient Inca warriors consumed maca for its ability to enhance their stamina. Today, athletes credit maca with enabling them to keep up with physically demanding workouts. Maca can even facilitate the development of muscle mass, contributing toward muscular hypertrophy.

Maca for Bone Health

Maca can make your bones stronger. Yes, you read that correctly - we’re not talking about milk! While it’s not to be used in place of Vitamin D or calcium, research has found links between consumption of maca root and improvements in bone mass. A 2006 study on the effects of regular maca consumption by postmenopausal women found that subjects who had taken maca for four months demonstrated noticeably increased bone density markers.

I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands

Loving the red maca from themacateam. I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands. It really tastes so fresh and sweet compared to others. I really love this product. Thanks for sourcing it for us to enjoy

The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price

I LOVE Maca Team Maca...this was my first purchase with the Maca Team and I have no need to try any other Maca-producer. The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price, and I feel so much more at ease (Maca is such powerful medicine :) )

The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares

I take 24 products from five to six times a week to increase my well-being and sensual and sexual delights. ;D The Maca Team’s organic maca is one of them—nine grams in my smoothie, Monday to Saturday. The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares about its customers, its Peruvian maca growers, and the environment. It's vital to know the source of everything we put in our mouths. Physical and mental health are precious treasures. :D

Your maca is sent from God, is a blessing and is superb

This product is amazing!

This product is amazing! I have used other cheaper brands of white maca with fairly good results, but after trying the Maca Team maca, I noticed within two weeks all of my menopausal symptoms had completely vanished. Others described a bad taste and smell, but I have tried the black and the red and find them both to be mild tasting. I use a tablespoon in my daily smoothly

Their maca varieties are good, as is their customer service.

Maca first came to us by our vitamin supplier. Then we ordered from the Maca Team. Comparison? Think fire-fly, then think mid-day sun. At 76 and 73 years respectively, that is a big deal; and at comparable cost too. We never have we had such speedy delivery and the packaging is the strongest, most protective we've seen, ever, at all ... anywhere. Further, the Mrs. no longer takes hormone supplements. And Mr. scans the morning want ads for steady P/T work.

The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting

I had been using another brand of maca powder and decided to try The Maca Team's. The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting . I'm 6 foot 250 lbs. and take 4 teaspoons every day w/ my protein shake. Great energy boost and just feel great all day. I can tell a difference when I do not take it. best price that I have found {36oz}. I will be buying more as needed.

The Maca Team brand is very special.

I've tried various maca brands over the last 20 years and The Maca Team brand is very special. There is definitely a difference when it comes to the quality and colors of the maca. This red maca does seem to nourish certain parts of my body while the black maca nourishes something else. I know I've been missing the nutrition these maca provide. I'm 75 years old and bodies wear out, but I'm finding I'm regaining a functioning body. How wonderful is this?!?!!!

I just wanted to thank you for your excellently constructed website. I am a physician

I just wanted to thank you for your excellently constructed website. I am a physician and I recently started learning about Maca. I get a very good sense of it, and I expect I will try it out myself and possibly be recommending it to patients in the future. If so, your website will be the first place to send people. Thanks again.

I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away

Love the Maca team, In an earlier comment I said I was on the fence about where to buy Maca .Not anymore .You shouldn’t be either. The team has answered any questions I’ve had promptly. I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away out for my money only. The Maca is fresh, prices are good, the people are nice. If you’re on the fence, don’t be, you won’t be sorry.

We love this product. I own a store and work with clients holistically. We have recommended maca for years however, this is the highest quality product we have ever carried. I am proud to offer it in my store.

Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

I am really happy that I chose the Maca Team, today you can find many distributors selling Maca powder, however quality of the powder is impossible to compare. Moreover, the results after 2 weeks I could feel. Before I was taking maca powder and I did not feel any changes. But since I started taking Maca from Maca Team the changes are incredible. So, I did a test.:) I gave the powder to my partner ... and after 2 weeks he was impressed and told me that he has more energy, feeling happy... Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

By Olga
