Maca Root: Nature’s Ancient Energy Booster Backed by Modern Science
Meet Maca
The maca, scientifically named Lepidium meyenii Walpers, grows naturally above 4,000 m and is indigenous to Peru's Central Andes [1].
The health-promoting properties of maca are supported by a number of proteins, amino acids, lipids, and vitamins [2], as well as a range of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, glucosinolates, and alkaloids [3].
Iron, calcium, copper, zinc, potassium, and other micro- and macroelements are also abundant in it. To enhance physical immunity, energy, alertness, mental focus, mood, and sexual function, locals have employed maca as a culinary element in traditional folk medicine [4]. Currently, macas are being sold in Asia, Europe, and North America.
Types of Maca
The three main varieties of maca root—yellow, red, and black— have distinctive qualities. Mycern Maca Plus is a well-rounded maca supplement that blends red, black, and yellow maca. Macas are well known for their nutrient-rich profile and are frequently used to promote an active and healthy lifestyle.
Maca A Energy Booster
The ability of maca roots to increase energy consumption and endurance has been widely documented. It is widely used by athletes and anyone searching for a natural method to boost endurance and enhance their physical performance.
A special blend of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids found in maca helps the body produce energy and is nourished. After adding maca to their regular routine, many users said they felt less exhausted and more energized.
Research indicates that maca consumption may have a positive impact on mood and energy levels. Maca helped control exercise-induced tiredness in rats, according to a 2021 study [5].
According to another 2022 study, maca compounds are potential options for treating exercise-induced exhaustion. This may be especially crucial for manual laborers or populations with a lower level of health [6].
A 2022 trial in young female adults also suggested that maca extract could reduce fatigue [3].
According to previous studies, maca balances NAD⁺/NADH levels, which helps strengthen muscle fibers and lessen stress from exercise. It enhances energy metabolism and shields muscle cells from oxidative injury by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and activity [3].
Other Notable Benefits of Maca
Maca root is regarded as a "adaptogen" because it enhances mental clarity, increases endurance, and helps the body cope with stress [7].
One of the most well-known properties of maca roots is their ability to boost libido. Numerous studies involving both male and female participants have reported this effect [1].
Additionally, there is evidence that maca can help women adjust their hormone levels by strengthening the hypothalamus-pituitary organs rather than using phytoestrogenic methods [2].
Compounds found in maca may aid in maintaining bone density, which is essential for durability and mobility over the course of a person's lifetime [2].
