MACA – ROOT

Maca root works by influencing the body’s hormone levels and stress response. Maca root is an adaptogenic herb, which means it may help the body adapt to different types of stress. Maca root may also affect the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates the production of hormones such as cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones34. By modulating the HPA axis, maca root may help balance hormone levels and improve mood, energy, libido, and fertility. Maca root may also have antioxidant properties, which means it may protect the cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants may help prevent chronic diseases and slow down aging.
