The most common reason people take Maca root is to boost your energy, libido, and to balance the emotions associated with hormonal issues as well as nutritional supplement. Maca root works with your body's hormonal system to balance your testosterone, progesterone and estrogen.
Why is the root of maca so potent?
This is a superfood that contains carotene, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), ascorbic acid, niacin, vitamins and others. There are high levels of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium, as well as lower levels of copper, zinc, manganese, iron, selenium, and boron. It also has a 11 percent per gram of protein and fatty acids. Because of its 18 amino acids, to form a complete protein for vegans and raw foodists.
Peruvians do not need any scientific studies that prove the strong effects of Maca as it has been a traditional food for thousands of years. This root is consumed in different ways in Peru and deeply rooted in culture. It is used in baking and smoothies, and various other foods.
Maca can be taken in capsule form (with the powder in capsules) or as a powder or concentrated extract. Capsules generally contain 500 mg of powder. Most people get it in powder form it fits into smoothies, or simply taking dissolving in water. I recommend the form of powder, so that your body absorbs it immediately. It has a unique nutty flavor, a bit of an aftertaste, but it's not ok and strong for most people. If you are sensitive to taste and then taking it in capsule form would be a better choice for you.
How maca powder should be taken?
It is different for everyone. I suggest if you take the capsule form, try starting with 2 capsules a day, and it consistently for several days, and then adjust from there. If taken in powder form, start with 2 teaspoons a day and adjust from there. Every individual is different and unique because it is a natural herb product, each person will need different amounts. We also suggest that getting in the middle of the afternoon about 2 hours when hormones tend to be lowest.
You should take some precautions when you start taking Maca. Some people have reported experiencing an elevated heart rate and insomnia from having excess energy (similar to having too much caffeine). As mentioned before, take the recommended dosage of 1-3 teaspoons of powder daily and listen to your body and adjust accordingly.
As in all other herbs, quality is important. Make sure you buy organic or from a company that is committed to bringing the best organic fair-traded, sustainably produced Maca root of the product.
