Maca
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is the root of a vegetable native to the Andes region of Peru. Known as "Peruvian ginseng" (even though it doesn't belong to the same botanical family as ginseng), maca is consumed as a food and is said to boost energy and libido. The taste of maca root powder, which some people dislike, has been described as earthy and nutty.

Benefit of Maca


Highly Nutritious
Maca root powder is very nutritious and is a great source of several important vitamins and minerals. Maca root is a good source of carbs, is low in fat, and contains a fair amount of fiber. It’s also high in some essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, copper, and iron. Furthermore, it contains various plant compounds, including glucosinolates and polyphenols.
Help relieve symptoms of menopause.
Menopause is defined as the time in a woman’s life when her menstrual periods stop permanently. The natural decline in estrogen that occurs during this time can cause a range of unpleasant symptoms. These include hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, sleep problems, and irritability.
Improve your mood.
Several studies have shown that maca can enhance your mood. It’s been associated with reduced anxiety and symptoms of depression, particularly in menopausal women. Maca contains plant compounds called flavonoids, which have been suggested to be at least partly responsible for these psychological benefits.


How to use Maca
Maca is easy to incorporate into your diet. It can be taken as a supplement or added to smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods, and energy bars; mixed with kefir water or fruit juice; and more.
