Maca Root Powder
What is this Maca Root Powdery Goodness?
Call it Peruvian Ginseng or Maca root, either way it looks like a radish and the Incans were busy ingesting it by the bucketload! The properties of this tuberous root have made it a proverbial hot-cake in health stores around the world in recent years, although the native growers of this superfood have known of its powers all along. Maca root only grows in the Andes, and only in those areas elevated thousands of feet above sea level. This makes it pretty difficult to source fresh Maca root outside of Peru, but don’t be alarmed my health conscious fellows. The shelf life of the Maca root is long indeed, and Maca root powder maintains most if not all of the properties (minus the live enzymes of course) of the freshly cultivated root.
What’s in Maca Root Powder?
Maca root powder has a high concentration of zinc, magnesium, calcium and iron. Zinc and magnesium in particular are noteworthy for their contribution to healthy sexual function and also to assisting the body to cope with physical stressors and stress in general. Maca Root powder has been touted to balance the hormone system in women, regulate the menstrual cycle, and increase libido. We have some good news for men too, as Maca root increases stamina and energy, and has been implicated in the successful treatment of impotence.
It’s not all about sex people (sheesh!) Maca root powder also stimulates the endocrine system (the system in control of hormone regulation), and in doing so regulates the production of hormones. Maca root powder also boosts the immune system and strengthens the body against external pathogens and stressors.
I Want to be a Sex God! How Much is Too Much?
We’d all like to think that our inner crouching tiger prowled the bedroom every night. If you want to improve your sexual functioning with Maca root powder, start with a quarter of a teaspoon morning and night, gradually building the dosage up to a teaspoon as your body adjusts to this new superfood. Mix it into your cereal or juice in the morning, in a herbal tea, fruit salad or even your water. It tastes sweet and nutty which some people enjoy. If you don’t enjoy the taste of Maca root powder at all, don’t deprive yourself of its benefits. Purchase Maca root powder in vegetable-gel capsules instead and throw them down like you would a vitamin tablet. Done!
As with all other products supported by this web portal, we highly recommend sourcing an organic brand of Maca root powder, since you want to be getting maximum nutrient value for your dollar. Expect results within three months and love the change!
