MACA - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answered by Dr. Beth Ley, PhD and Carmen Mattes, Master
Herbalist
What is Maca?
Maca is a cruciferous root vegetable
indigenous to the high Andean mountain plateaus of Peru. Also
called “Peruvian Ginseng” Maca is an exceptionally
hardy plant growing where no other crops can survive. At altitudes
of 14,000 ft., Maca must endure extreme conditions ranging
from freezing cold, fierce winds, to intense sunlight, often
all within a period of 24 hours. Herbalists believe that resilient
plants are especially valuable from a medicinal perspective
and in this category, Maca knows no equal.
Who benefits from Maca?
Everyone! The most exciting news
about Maca is that it strengthens and balances the endocrine
system of both sexes in the appropriate gender-specific manner.
Its action focuses on the hypothalamus/pituitary axis, which
governs the intricate and delicate hormonal system of our
body. Maca is an ideal addition to the daily diets of both
men and women to promote greater energy and stamina improve
ability to handle stress and enhance sexual and reproductive
health and wellness.
Can Maca help with my menopause
symptoms?
Currently, Maca is gaining worldwide
attention as a safe, natural, and highly effective alternative
to HRT. Many health professionals are integrating Maca into
their practices and promoting it as an excellent treatment
for menopause since Maca offers an entirely different and
completely safe approach to hormones. Maca is a tonic (strengthener)
and rejuvenator for the entire endocrine system, thereby encouraging
the body to manufacture it's own natural hormones - and in
the correct proportion to each other. The results speak for
themselves as thousands of women report relief from symptoms
such as hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, vaginal dryness,
and loss of libido.
How is
Maca different from menopausal herbs like black cohosh?
Even herbs
containing phyto-hormones have a suppressive effect on the
glands, which would naturally otherwise produce that hormone.
Unlike soy products, black cohosh, licorice root, wild yam,
and others containing hormone-like substances, Maca contains
no plant hormones. By regulating the hypothalamus/pituitary
axis to help insure balanced and healthy hormone levels in
the body, Maca works on the root of the problem rather than
just the symptoms of the problem.
Will Maca interfere or disrupt
my natural hormonal rhythms?
Maca feeds and nourishes the
glandular system. It in no way imposes or acts as an aggressor
in the body. Rather, it works with the vital life force by
giving it the proper tools to ensure optimum health and balance.
Maca is a superfood that revitalizes the entire endocrine
system, thus allowing the innate wisdom of the body to control
the hormonal system from within.
How does Maca benefit andropause?
Andropause, also referred to
as male menopause is a decline in, or an inability to utilize
testosterone. When levels of this hormone become depleted
in a man’s body, the results can be devastating--both
physically and emotionally. Thankfully Maca can restore the
aging hormonal system back to that of its younger years by
strengthening and toning the entire endocrine system. Benefits
can include an increase in libido, sexual potency, fertility,
energy and stamina.
How much Maca should I take?
A common misconception about
herbs is that there is a standard dosage. In actuality, the
proper measure is in relation to size, sensitivity, age, and
gender. In general though, a typical daily-suggested intake
could be anywhere from 1,500-10,000mg daily, split into two
or three doses. Remember that Maca is a food; less than 1500mg
will likely not deliver desired results. We recommend starting
at 1,500mg per day and regulating your own dosage to achieve
your personal goals.
Can I take Maca with other
supplements/medications?
To date there are no known toxic
side effects to Maca. It is a very safe food and just as a
common potato or turnip would not interfere with medications
or supplements, neither will Maca. In fact, Maca will assist
the body in utilizing supplements to their optimum capacity
as it helps to further digest and assimilate the nutrients.
Can I give Maca to my children?
Maca has been consumed as a staple
food in the diets of Native Peruvians for thousands of years.
It has proven to be very safe and it is most definitely beneficial
for children.
In today’s world of devitalized
and highly processed foods, high sugared snacks and drinks,
and demineralized soils, it’s nice for parents to know
they have a highly nutritious alternative. Maca has no known
side effects and is non-toxic. Maca powder can be added to
beverages or food, including yogurt, porridge, applesauce,
or pudding.
Can I give Maca to my pets?
The Native Peruvians fed Maca
to their livestock to promote endurance, strength, and fertility.
It is recorded that the use of Maca in their domesticated
animals greatly enhanced their health. It may be of particular
interest to breeders to know that Maca absolutely increases
fertility, and to further its appeal, Maca also builds strong
and vital offspring.
What is the best form of Maca
to take?
Look for brands that use pure,
certified organic Maca that is grown traditionally in the
Peruvian highlands. Make sure that only the root of the Maca
plant is used, as this is where the medicinal value resides.
For best results, choose gelatinized Maca for greater potency
and optimal absorption. Gelatinization is an extrusion process
that removes the starch from the root leaving a more concentrated
powder that is easier to digest. Maca is available in powder,
tablets, and capsules. Powder is the most economical form
and tablets and capsules are the most convenient
