Maca is a hardy vegetable resembling a turnip that grows high up in the Andes at about 14,000 feet. It is an ancient medicine which promotes overall well being. The soils of these high plateaux are extremely rich in minerals, which accounts for Maca's extraordinary content of trace minerals. It is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and iron, and contains trace minerals including zinc, iodine, copper, selenium, bismuth, manganese and silica, as well as B vitamins. It also contains four alkaloids proven in scientific investigation to nourish the endocrine glands, including the reproductive system of men and women. Maca is an adaptogen, which means it helps the body adapt to stress, and helps to return a dysfunctioning system back to normal balance. It is a natural energiser, a powerful tonic that improves physical strength and mental capability, bringing about a general improvement in body functions. It is very nourishing and strengthening. Maca can help the endocrine system, including the ovaries, testes, adrenals, pancreas and thyroid. Because endocrine gland balance and immune system function are so interrelated, it often notably enhances immune system functioning. Traditionally, native medicine practitioners and herbalists have recommended Maca for treating menopausal symptoms, as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT), stimulating and regulating the endocrine system, regulating and normalising menstrual cycles, stimulating fertility in both men and women, supporting the immune system, increasing energy, stamina and endurance, reducing chronic fatigue, enhancing libido, treating impotence, revitalising seniors, mentally and physically.
