Sfera Maca Extra
Maca has been cultivated by the native people of Peru for over 2000 years. It grows at elevations between 10,000 and 15,000 feet and thrives in the harsh conditions of the barren high plateaus of the central Andes. Maca is so nutrient-packed that Inca warriors reportedly consumed it to energize themselves for battle. Although unrelated to Ginseng, it is sometimes referred to as Peruvian ginseng because of its similar properties.
Maca is also well-known as a natural hormone balancer used traditionally to enhance sexual function in both men and women, to increase fertility and to help alleviate menopause symptoms. The key to Maca’s stamina effects appears to be two groups of novel compounds called macamides and macaenes. Maca has also traditionally been used to help to support joint and respiratory health and to improve mood and support memory functions.
Mechanism of Action of Lepidium Meyenii
Lepidium meyenii (Maca) supports the endocrine system by stimulating the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland controls the ovaries and testes – maintaining the steroid hormones in healthy levels.
Maca also act on the adrenals, pancreas and thyroid.
By doing so, Maca nourishes the body and promotes its natural ability to normalize the levels of steroid hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
The most impressive property of Maca is that it does not contain hormones itself. Instead it provides a unique set of nutrients that helps to balance the endocrine system.
Here are benefits of Maca:
- Optimal functioning of vital organs
