Maca is a Peruvian plant grown in the extreme, harsh conditions of the Andes mountains. It is a cruciferous vegetable that resembles a large turnip and is in the same plant family as broccoli and cabbage.
Maca is often used as a spice in Peruvian cuisine, giving dishes an earthy flavor. Maca root can be ground into a powder and added to meals or smoothies.
Apart from its culinary uses, maca has numerous health benefits.
Because maca is an adaptogen, the plant helps regulate the body's response to stress. Healthy cortisol levels allow the body to use less energy to respond to stress and more energy to balance other hormones. Maca supports the function of the hypothalamus in the brain as well as the pituitary gland.
Adaptogenic herbs are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to restore harmony to various hormones and systems in the body, most notably the adrenal glands.
Other examples of adaptogens are:
- Rhodiola;
- Ashwagandha;
- Ginseng;
- Gotu Kola;
- Licorice root;
- Reishi mushroom;
- Cordyceps.

Health benefits:
- It helps the body manage stress more successfully
Maca is an adaptogenic herb, and what all adaptogens have in common is that they can help the body deal with environmental stress. What adaptogens can do is stimulate the body's stress defense system by balancing the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. This axis is responsible for how the central nervous system and endocrine system respond to stress. When we feel stressed, cortisol levels rise. Taking maca can help reduce cortisol levels in the body.
- It may have a beneficial effect on depression
There is a link between the consumption of maca and increased levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that supports brain activity, controlling our movements and emotional reactions. This relationship is likely due to the adaptogenic nature of maca. When people are more resistant to stress and are better able to deal with daily stressors, they also deal with depression easily and their mood is good.
- It can help with perimenopause and menopause symptoms
Maca supports the body through perimenopause and menopause without altering estrogen levels. Studies have found that women who consume maca experience fewer unpleasant symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats.
Taking maca can help improve sperm concentration (the number of sperm per milliliter of semen). Sperm concentration is closely related to male fertility.
Maca root acts as an aphrodisiac without altering hormone levels in the body. It can help improve sexual desire. The plant improves sexual function and libido and can be beneficial for people who suffer from low libido or decreased sexual desire.
- It favors the condition of the bones
Maca helps maintain stronger, healthier bones. This quality is especially valuable for women who are prone to losing bone density as they age.
