Maca root is an adaptogenic herb native to the Andes. Maca is reported to have neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as being an antioxidant with the ability to help balance immune system responses.
A small amount of maca powder can be mixed in with yogurt, smoothies, or baked goods. It has a nutty, butterscotch-like flavor that pairs well with other sweet flavors, such as the açaí berry powder pictured here. It’s typical to start small, such as 1/8th of a teaspoon.
Maca has often been used to combat fatigue, increase energy and endurance, help alleviate menopause symptoms, and boost libido and support fertility. Maca may help men who experience erectile dysfunction or have trouble achieving orgasm.
Talk with a doctor before trying Maca or any other supplements, especially if you have any medical conditions or are taking any medications.
