What Is Maca Powder?
Maca Powder is made from the root of the maca plant. Maca root is also known as Lepidium Meyenii, part of the Cruciferae family of plants, which are reddish roots like radishes. The maca root is usually dried and stored, where it can then last for many years. Its popularity began more than 5000 years ago in South America, and has been in use since.
Maca has traditionally been used as a sexual enhancer. It has been used all over the world and is reported to effect both men and women. The affect is not understood to be hormonal, as it has no effect on estrogen or testosterone. Sperm production increases have been reported in men who supplement with Maca, and those wanting to reduce prostate hypertrophy also find it useful.
Maca is starting to be investigated for its use as a mild “nootropic” with some users reporting improved cognitive ability, as well as others suggesting it can have an effect on bone health.
