Here's a brief look at a few of maca's healthy attributes--and some reasons you may want to try it.

multitalented

Maca is used primarily for enhancing libido and fertility, and treating erectile dysfunction (ED). The herb is lately being suggested for easing PMS and menopause symptoms, such as night sweats, hot flashes and low libido.

ancient Healer of the Andes

The first recorded use of maca as an herbal medicine dates back to the 17th century in South America, where it was believed to enhance fertility, sexual desire, strength and endurance. Native to the Peruvian Andes, this tuber, related to turnips and radishes, has been consumed by locals for approximately 2,000 years. Maca contains vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, amino acids and fatty acids.

clinically Studied

Preliminary human research suggests maca may enhance both libido and fertility in men without affecting testosterone or other hormone levels.
