Health Benefits of Red Maca Organic red maca powder balances the body to create sustainable, balanced energy, though it is not a stimulant. It boasts an impressive nutrient profile with 60 potent nutrients, including beta-sitosterol, glucosinolates, and fatty acids. As an excellent source of protein, red maca contains 18 amino acids, including 7 of the 9 essential amino acids. Since maca is an adaptogenic root, it supports the normal function of the endocrine system, which regulates the secretion of hormones into the bloodstream. Proper hormonal balance can reduce the severity of menopausal symptoms, enhance the body’s ability to deal with stress, boost a weakened immune system, and ward off mild depression. As a natural source of energy, maca can support weight loss goals by increasing metabolism and helping the body burn more calories over time. Why RED Maca? Organic red maca root powder contains the same nutrient levels as other maca varieties, and then some. Compared to other varieties, red maca powder contains higher levels of phytochemicals. Studies suggest red maca may promote good prostate health, combat osteoporosis, and support bone regeneration. 1) In a study published in the Journal Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology 2005; 3:5, researchers reported that red maca significantly reduced ventral prostate size in rats. This effect was exclusive to red maca, and was not the case for either the black or yellow varieties. 2) Another study published by researchers from the Universidad Peruana, Lima in 2010, found that red maca had protective effects on the bone structure in rats with osteoporosis. This research has positive implications for the effect of red maca on bone health. High in the Andes mountains, there’s a humble root vegetable that’s reputed to be the source of the legendary strength and endurance of the Inca people. Red Maca is a vegetable root or tuber, related to the potato family, which grows only in the high Andean plateaus of Peru. Red Maca Root grows wild in many locations in South America, and it’s also being cultivated elsewhere. Red Maca’s medical miracles come only from the plants that grow at 13,000 to 15,000 feet in the steep central Peruvian Andes valleys. Peruvian folklore suggests that maca is helpful for men with (ED), and animal studies in the laboratory have supported this. The evidence suggests that red maca’s contribution to sexual performance comes about by gently and gradually reversing the underlying circulatory problem. Studies show that oral supplementation with Red Maca Root repairs the biochemical cascade of events that makes penile arteries misbehave. Raw Red Maca Root has been shown to reduce prostate size significantly. This is undoubtedly due in part to its rich supply of plant sterols, including beta sitosterol—a powerful treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Red Maca Root has another well-known prostate shrinker, a group of compounds called glucosinolates—which also protect against prostate cancer while they’re at it. In the many hundreds of cruciferous species investigated, all are able to synthesize glucosinolates. But the absolute content of glucosinolates in fresh Raw Red Maca Root is relatively higher than reported in other cruciferous crops. The most abundant glucosinolates detected in Red Maca were the aromatic glucosinolates. Pituitary glands are the main endocrine glands which send signals to other organs and glands. Red Maca Root ensures proper pituitary glands function. This helps in keep the body healthy and fit. Many factors can affect libido, including hormone levels, stress, and mood. It’s no secret that human fertility has declined. This decline has been attributed to many factors including environmental pollutants and plastics that wreak havoc on the critical hormonal balance necessary for reproduction. For women research has shown that after 8 weeks of taking 1,500 mg of Red Maca Root a day reduced miscarriage rates and increase in fetal growth. Men enjoy an average 180% increase in their libido and average a 200% increase in semen volume as well as significantly increased sperm counts, increased sperm motility, and increased conception rates. All of these benefits occur, again, without any meddling with sex hormone levels. Instead, it appears that Red Maca Root activates an anabolic gene pathway known as IGF (insulin-like growth factor), which is a critical determinant of fertility and fetal development, and which is known to decline with age. Due to decreases in estrogen levels, postmenopausal women are at risk for osteoporosis. Red Maca Root has been tested on rats and found to have notable effects on bone structure and the formation of new bone as reported in Research in Complementary Medicine. Although the estrogen pathway was the route taken to help strengthen bone, there was no increase in uterine size, which is usually the case when estrogens are increased. Researchers involved in this study were unable to determine by which mechanism Red Maca Root utilized the estrogen pathway. The agonizing pain of monthly menstrual cycle, is something, that women can never get used to. Red Maca Root is a natural remedy for menstrual cramps.
