Product Features

Maca Gold is available in capsules obtained from a powder extract of the Maca root. The plant is sometimes referred to as “the superfood of the Incas” and is native to Peru, where it was used since 5,000 years ago. The plant is sometimes called “Peruvian Ginseng” due to similarities in effects. Much publicity has been made on the benefits of Maca Root, with sales increasing 10 folds in 2001.

One of the most important traditional uses still popular today is treating sexual dysfunctions. Maca appears to help increase fertility, improve sexual activity and libido, and enhance sexual performance. These presumptions are based on the fact that the root contains certain constituents which may regulate sex hormones, although no clear evidence exists.

Other benefits commonly associated with Maca Root consumption include alleviating PMS associated symptoms, erectile dysfunction, mood swings, stomach ulcers, prostate problems, osteoporosis, depression, AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome, and others. Maca is often characterized as an adaptogenic meaning it is able to regulate and promote a normal response to stress, irrespective of what caused it. The root’s antioxidant effects give it free radicals scavenging effects hence it protects body cells from oxidative stress.

Maca is well tolerated by most people, with no known side effects. The manufacturer recommends taking 1 to 5 capsules a day.
