240 Organic Maca Capsules
£16.50
Maca has a long list of uses because of its broad range of nutritional and medicinal properties. Traditionally, native medicine practitioners and herbalists have recommended maca for:
Treating menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes, vaginal dryness, and depression, as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy [HRT] Stimulating and regulating the endocrine system, including the adrenals, the thyroid, the ovaries, and the testes Regulating and normalizing 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 Revitalizing seniors, mentally and physically
As a nutritional supplement: As it is a nourishing food, it is an excellent supplement for children and for pregnant women. It can be used to treat malnutrition.
For Fertility: In the oxygen-poor environment at the high altitudes of the Peruvian highlands, conception can be difficult. It is fact that when the Spaniards first went to Cusco after the Spanish conquest, it was several years before a Spanish baby was born. Today, the young couples in these regions are aware of the fertility powers of maca and indeed, eat maca on a regular basis until conception occurs. Maca balances the endocrine system, including the ovaries, testes, adrenals, pancreas and thyroid, helps older men maintain sexual functioning; assists in human conception; helps maintain menopausal hormonal balance
For Libido: Maca is a powerful aphrodisiac for men and women. It is said to "rekindle the desires and the fires of lost passion"! It has aroused the interest of scientists as it strengthens and stimulates the libido. It is said to renew sexuality lost in youth. Remaining sexually active has been said to promote a longer, healthier and happier life. Having a healthy libido indicates a youthful constitution - it offers a healthy, risk-free solution to premature ageing
An Energiser - for improved Strength and Stamina: Maca is a natural energizer, both mentally and physically, due to both its mineral content and the alkaloids. It can boost energy levels, and is being used as an adjuvant therapy for chronic fatigue. Maca is a powerful tonic that improves physical output in a non-specific way. It reinforces the immune system and increases brain capability, generally improving bodily function. Its effects are appropriate to the age and sex of the person using it. It has been shown to revitalize men and women of middle and older age both mentally and physically.

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.
