Maca extract BIO MacaCare™
60 vegetarian capsules
Item catalog number: K2547EN
Original product name: Maca extract BIO MacaCare™
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) grows at high altitudes in the Peruvian Andes mountain. For centuries, maca has been used in folk medicine as an aphrodisiac and fertility enhancer. Due to its nutritional value, maca is considered a superfood. Maca is rich in trace elements, vitamins and minerals, amino acids (vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, boron, calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, niacin, sodium, potassium and zinc).[1,16,17] The most active phytonutrients found in Maca are glucosinolates, alkaloids, macamides and makaenes, phytosterols and thiohydantins. [16,21,22]
Maca is also called a plant adaptogen. It naturally helps the body adapt to stressors.[4]
MacaCare™ used in our supplement is an organic extract of maca root (Lepidium meyenii) 10:1.
Maca may enhance men's sexual drive.[1] The 4-month clinical trial involved 9 men who were given 1,500 or 3,000 mg of maca extract daily. Both at the beginning and at the end of the study, the concentration of the following hormones was determined: lutropin, follicle-stimulating hormone, prolactin, testosterone and estradiol. Maca supplementation has been shown to increase both the number and motility of sperm in the ejaculate.[7] Maca may also support women's sexual health.[4]
Benefits at a Glance:
Maca may support women's hormonal balance. Some studies suggest that alkaloids and macamides - bioactive compounds found in this plant - may regulate hormonal balance. [2] Maca is one of the most frequently recommended supplements for menopausal women.[4]
Maca increases estradiol levels in menopausal women. It also relieves insomnia, anxiety and depression, and improves memory, concentration and energy levels. Maca also relieves hot flashes and vaginal dryness, improves libido and helps maintain a healthy weight. [10]
Maca is a powerful, natural antioxidant that fights oxidative stress and prevents cell damage. Additionally, maca helps increase the level of the body's natural antioxidants: glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD).[13] Some research suggests that maca may also enhance the body's proper response to inflammatory factors.[2]
In one clinical study involving middle-aged mice, maca was shown to improve cognitive function, motor coordination and endurance. An improvement in the function of respiratory system mitochondria and an enhancement of the autophagy process in the brain were also observed.[14]
Some studies also suggest the effect of maca on improving mood and its antidepressant effect.[1,2]
