Benefits of Maca Root
Maca has gained a reputation for helping balance hormones and reverse hypothyroidism. It is an endocrine adaptogen, meaning that it does not contain any hormones, but rather it contains the nutrients necessary to support normal hormone production.
It has also been used as a way to increase fertility (and I can vouch for this personally!). It is naturally high in minerals (calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc), sterols (6 found), up to *0 essential fatty acids, lipids, fiber, carbohydrates, protein, and amino acids.
Maca is often recommended to those with adrenal fatigue as it nourishes them and reduces stress hormones. Its especially known for its benefit in balancing hormones. According to this article:
Maca root helps balance our hormones and due to an over abundance of environmental estrogens, most peoples hormones are a bit out of whack. Maca stimulates and nourishes the hypothalamus and pituitary glands which are the master glands of the body. These glands actually regulate the other glands, so when in balance they can bring balance to the adrenal, thyroid, pancreas, ovarian and testicular glands.
Maca root has been shown to be beneficial for all sorts of hormonal problems including PMS, menopause, and hot flashes. It is also a fertility enhancer and is best known for improving libido and sexual function, especially in men. For this reason, its earned the nickname natures Viagra.
