Maca root is a tuber or root, that is considerably higher in proteins that other roots or tubers of similar size. The content of iron and calcium is also more concentrated in this root. For this reason, it is considered a vegetable food with great energy value.

The Maca root was used by the ancestors of the Incan Empire, as one of the best nutrients and energizers of that time, improving the psychic state of whoever consumed it.

The properties of the Maca root are almost endless, since it is recommended for use in cases of malnutrition, convalescence, memory loss and weakness or deterioration of bones such as osteoporosis. It is also recommended for cases of infertility or impotence.

Preliminary studies carried out with the Maca root (Lepidium meyenii W.) in mice showed it stimulated brain activity and bolstered feminine and masculine reproductive reaction. It also demonstrated that the immune system responses increased, as well as physical strength was augmented. It is also known that Maca root helps in the relief of menopausal symptoms.

The studies carried out using lab mice by the doctors Alberto Cuba and Mario (Protocol 1.3.3 and 4) showed a marked stimulation in the development of ovarian follicles and an increase in estrogen (the hormone that prepares the genital tract to receive sperm when ovulation takes place; also involved in the increase of the libido). There is also an increase in the quantity of male sperm as well as the activity level of the spermatozoa. The current theory is that the Maca root engenders a reaction in the pituitary gland, which is responsible for the acceleration of sexual maturation.
