Studies confirm an increase in energy and physical performance

Maca has been the subject of various studies focusing on its potential health benefits, including its effect on energy levels. Several studies have examined its effect on physical performance. For example, a 2009 study conducted by researchers at Northumbria^University2 found that athletes who took Maca powder for 14 days showed significant improvements in their times in a 40km cycling time trial compared to their previous performances. The study concluded that maca could be beneficial for improving physical performance, suggesting the need for further research in this area.

Maca supports male fertility Maca (Lepidium meyenii) has a significant effect on male fertility, particularly on spermquality and quantity. Studies suggest that consuming maca promotes spermquality and concentration. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 2021 showed that maca has positive effects on the spermiogram, an analytical assessment of the ejaculate. In addition to physical performance, maca has also been studied for its effects on sexual desire. A pilot study with trained cyclists showed that in 14 days of use, cyclists' libido increased over baseline tests. In another study^, 3 men aged 21-56 were given maca in one of two doses: 1,500 mg or 3,000 mg or placebo. Improvements in libido were seen with maca from 8 weeks of treatment^.4

Why is the extract better than the classic powder?

Maca contains bioactive substances that are behind all of its effects. The extracts, compared to the powder from the root, are better absorbed as they get into your bloodstream faster and are much more concentrated, so it only takes a much smaller amount for the Maca to take effect. Maca extract is here in a 6:1 ratio.

8/10 women suffer from hormonal imbalances¹

Hormonal imbalance is a condition where there is excessive or insufficient production of one or more hormones in the body. When hormones are out of balance, this manifests itself in women of childbearing age by the development of PMS or premenstrual syndrome. Maca, when taken regularly , helps to optimize a woman's hormonal system and thus alleviate the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome as well as the unpleasant symptoms of menopause.

A study published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine showed that Maca helps improve the hormonal profile and reduce symptoms associated with menopause in women, but also on women's fertility.
