Benefits
SUPPORTS SEXUAL HEALTH
Maca has a historical reputation for supporting libido. Although this has lead some to name it an aphrodisiac, it actually offers support more on the underlying aspects of sexual health and does so over a longer period of intake. It supports improved mood, better energy, and increased blood circulation, all important aspects of healthy sexual function. It has also been demonstrated to improve sperm count and mobility.[1]
PROMOTES MOOD BALANCE DURING MENOPAUSE
Maca has evidence of easing a number of discomforts that can arrise around menopause [2], including hot flashes and challenges with sleep. In particular, Maca has long been used to improve energy and mood, both of which are often negatively affected around menopause.
