Benefits Of Maca Powder
Considered a natural super food, Maca Powder comes from a root native to Peru and is a member of the cruciferous family.
Benefits of consuming Maca Powder include
- Hormone Balancer – maca supports the endocrine system and regulates the thyroid and adrenaline hormone production. These glands help regulate stress levels and appetite
- Energy Booster – maca helps stabilize blood sugar which decreases energy highs and lows
- Improves Memory and Focus – similar to the effects of caffeine (without the jitters), maca has been reported to make people feel awake, energized and focused. This helps with memory and concentration and therefore, complete tasks
- Improves Sexual Function – black maca helps improve sperm function (improves fertility) and red maca may help improve overall prostate health.
- Natural Antioxidant – maca increases glutathione levels, which improves your immune system and can help prevent diseases.
Maca is very nutrient dense (high in calcium), has over 20 Amino Acids, a long list of fatty acids and is a rich source of phytonutrients.
Available in powder form at most health food stores. Maca powder has a sweet, nutty flavour similar to cinnamon or nutmeg and will go well in a smoothie or oatmeal.
