Peruvian folklore suggests that maca, also traditionally known as 'peruvian ginseng' is helpful for supporting men’s health; and clinical animal studies have supported this. The evidence suggests that maca's contribution to performance comes about by gently and gradually supporting circulation. Studies show that oral supplementation with maca may repair the biochemical cascade of events that causes decreased blood flow, especially in the male reproductive system. The result is measurable improvement over time, without the health risks associated with prescription drugs.
Maca root is a great way of supporting women's health. Maca may provide some relief from the common symptoms of a woman's monthly cycle.
