The maca plant, which originally grows in the high mountains of South America, has been used for more than 3000 years valued and used for its medicinal properties. Depending on the variety of maca plant, the color can vary and be white, yellow, red, purple or black. The maca extract capsules from Herbano contain the yellow maca extract.
The maca root is an absolutely rich source of nutrients with many important ingredients for a healthy organism:
Fortunately, yellow maca extract has the ability to to promote the regulation of the female hormone balance promote, so that complaints caused by PMS or the menopause can be noticeably improved. Scientists believe that the root has a direct effect on a woman's hormonal system and restores a healthy balance there. Yellow maca also supports the extremely important regulation of healthy hormone production in the adrenal glands and thyroid gland.
It is believed that the plant can also help women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), as it can influence oestrogen levels. An oestrogen level that is too high or too low makes ovulation difficult and can therefore prevent women from becoming pregnant. Taking maca extract can improve fertility of the woman be increased. It is also said to be able to help alleviate symptoms associated with PCOS, such as an irregular menstrual cycle or excessive hair growth.
A study published in 2008 in the journal Menopause showed that maca has a positive effect on the mood of menopausal women. mood of women during the menopause and and was able to reduce the level of anxiety and depression.
Studies have shown that taking Maca capsules can effectively help people with low libido:
The fact that the yellow maca root female libido was shown in one of these studies. Scientists assume that this is mainly due to the positive effect on the level of the "happiness hormone" serotonin.
In 2015, another study was conducted on 45 women suffering from sexual dysfunction caused by taking antidepressants. Taking 3,000 mg of maca root extract daily for 12 weeks significantly improved the sexual health and libido of these women compared to the group receiving a placebo.
A review from 2010 also showed that maca improves sexual desire after taking it for at least 6 weeks.
➤ A reduced libido is the most common sexual dysfunction in women.
Taking Maca capsules has been shown to improve male fertility. Studies have shown that taking Maca can increase the sperm concentration - i.e. the number of sperm per millilitre of seminal fluid - can be significantly optimized. Sperm concentration is closely linked to male fertility.
Another study from 2020 investigated the effect of Maca on 69 men with a diagnosed, slightly reduced sperm count or reduced sperm motility. Taking 2 grams of Maca per day for 12 weeks clearly improved sperm concentration compared to a placebo treatment. However, there were no significant differences in sperm motility between the treatment and placebo groups.
Research shows that the naturally occurring fatty acids in food can generally boost mood and promote general brain health. This also applies to the super root maca.
Special test series on the protective effect of maca on the brain have already produced promising results. Scientists continue to believe that maca is a natural and effective effective alternative to medicationsthat improve improve cognitive performance, performance. In addition, studies have fortunately shown that cognitive decline can also be slowed down by taking the miracle tuber.
This is because the fatty acids contained in the maca root support brain function and thus stabilize it:
The maca root acts as a natural antioxidant and is able to increase both the glutathione level as well as the production of the enzyme SOD (superoxide dismutase). These two enzymes play an important role in combating diseasesespecially chronic diseases.
In addition, the results of recent studies show that maca has the ability to prevent the development of chronic diseases. High cholesterol levels and impaired glucose tolerance also contribute significantly to their development. Because maca can increase the glutathione level in the body, it also improves the performance of the immune system and ensures a balanced cholesterol level. The miracle root also improves glucose tolerance by lowering blood sugar levels. This property of maca may be of particular interest to people who are concerned about their heart health or suffer from diseases such as diabetes or metabolic syndrome.
Many bodybuilders swear by the maca root and its contribution to muscle building. The root from the Andes is also known for its ability to increase energy level of the body and increases resistance of runners and endurance athletes.
The fact that not only endurance, but also general performance was shown in a study of cyclists who needed less time to cover a longer distance after taking Maca.
Athletes who regularly use Maca can also enjoy a shorter recovery phase and are generally ready for action again more quickly.However, not only endurance athletes, but also all other people who are active in sports can benefit from the effects of Maca by using the extract to help them stay healthy and lose weight. Fortunately, improved endurance also results in more effective fat burning as Maca enables you to keep up a training program better and for longer.
Experience has shown that the regular intake of Maca powder makes you feel feeling more alert and more energy and drive have. This effect is said to occur quite soon after starting to take it regularly. The increased energy level increased energy level does not cause the unpleasant "fluttering" or trembling that often occurs with high caffeine consumption.
The positive effects of maca root on energy levels, stamina and mood have been convincingly confirmed by clinical trials.
How this increased energy level has not yet been clarified. However, researchers assume that this positive effect is due to the ability of the plant to stabilize the stabilize blood sugar levels. It also helps to strengthen the health of the adrenal glands, which have a significant influence on our mood and energy levels.
Maca contains many valuable ingredients and dietary fibers, such as cellulosewhich improve the health of the intestines have been proven to improve intestinal health. Dietary fiber also provides a lasting feeling of satiety, so you don't feel hungry between meals.
Maca capsules also contain between 11% and 18% protein. The body needs proteins for healthy muscle building, to burn fat and to support healthy cell function.
The Theory on the leverage effect of proteins states that your body will continue to signal hunger until you have consumed enough protein. Only then does the feeling of hunger disappear. Maca has such a high protein content that you reach this point much faster. And unlike protein powders, it contains no added sweeteners, flavorings or flavor enhancers.
Maca capsules generally cause no undesirable side effects. Nevertheless, you should familiarize yourself with the side effects of the root when used for medicinal purposes.
