Nutrition

Living Traditionally’s Maca Powder is loaded with essential vitamins, minerals, micro-nutrients, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also a great source of protein, all 8 essential Amino Acids (20 different amino acids in total), fiber, vitamin C, copper and iron!

Hormones

For both men and women, hormones are responsible for regulating things such as mood, energy, weight & reproductive health. When hormones are unbalanced it can lead to bloating, irregular menstruation, low energy, low muscle mass and mood swings. If hormone levels are too high or too low, it may also be difficult for women hoping to get pregnant to ovulate. Maca Root is an effective hormonal treatment that can also help reduce these and other symptoms often related to unbalanced hormones (such as acne, excessive body hair growth and uncontrolled weight gain and muscle loss).

Menopause

As menopause approaches (perimenopause) estrogen levels fluctuate. This causes symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating, insomnia, night sweats, etc. Due to Maca’s ability to balance hormonal levels (especially estrogen) it can be effective at reducing these menopausal related symptoms.

Also, a 2015 study indicated Maca may relieve depression in post-menopausal women.

Energy

The exact way in which Maca increases energy is not really known as it does not contain caffeine. It is believed to be due to its ability to control blood sugar levels (preventing spiking and crashing sugar levels that are often associated with either being jittery or fatigued). Maca is particularly good for athletes as it not only supply’s the necessary energy for effective workouts, but also is rich in protein, amino acids (20 in total), iron, calcium and magnesium (all essential for muscle repair and growth).

Reproductive Health

Maca is often taken to improve reproductive health because it re-balances out of balance hormone levels (which play a large role in many health-related issues). Maca is used by both men and women for increased desire for intimacy.

  • An older 2002 study compared men taking 1.5-3 g of Maca per day verse placebo and found that men taking Maca had a increased reproductive rates and desire for intimacy compared to those taking a placebo.

  • A 2010 review of Maca research came to the conclusion that there is a correlation between taking Maca and a increase intimate desire.

  • A 2016 peer review stated, “Five studies - 3 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and 2 uncontrolled observational studies (UOSs) - met all of the inclusion criteria. One RCT found favorable effects of Maca on sperm mobility in infertile men. The two other RCTs showed positive effects of Maca on several semen quality parameters in healthy men. The two UOSs also suggested favorable effects of Maca on semen quality. The results of our systematic review provide suggestive evidence for the effectiveness of Maca in improving semen quality”.

  • Maca re-balances hormone levels which affect ovulation.

 

How to Take:

Take 2.5 grams (about ½ teaspoon) twice per day 30 mins before meals. 

Add to drinks, smoothies, baked goods, etc.  Great with apple cider, chocolate beverages and can be added to baked goods and cooked foods.  We encourage you to be creative but never microwave this or any other dietary supplement.

 

Safety

Maca is generally considered safe to use for all people. There are no known drug interactions. You should start taking Maca slowly (1/2 teaspoon per day) and ramp up (no more than 2 tablespoons per day) to avoid digestive issues. Due to it’s high anti-oxidant properties, symptoms such as acne, insomnia (do not take at night), upset stomach, are often due to the body’s release of toxins and not Maca itself.  These symptoms are usually temporary and are a good sign your body is purifying itself.

    I was experiencing menopausal hot flashes so I tried maca. I liked the nutty taste (great with chocolate, apple juice/cider, tea, smoothies etc. I noticed the difference within a week. My husband took some too and said he liked it and felt more energy.
