It is believed that this root has ability to balance entire endocrine system and it is effective when it comes to normalizing the body’s natural hormone levels, thus boosting libido in men. Today the maca root and its extract are used in medical practice in Peru and other countries around the world.

As a natural alternative maca is also found to be a very effective proven herb for increasing libido, combat stress and lift energy levels in men not only in Peru but also in USA, Asia and Europe.
Lack of sexual activity
There are different reasons why men experience low libido such as the key hormone testosterone level drops (hormonal imbalance),nitric oxide levels decline, increased stress levels some caused by excessive drinking, some due to smoking, over eating and not exercising. The list is long.
Mostly, reasons to lack sexual activity is due to unbalanced hormonal levels. This would mean there is little or too much of mainly testosterone hormone. When out of balance, the body produces chemicals which directly affect hormones and the body system in general, especially mental state and physical abilities.
To some sexual drive goes down due to increased stress hormone, to some due to unbalanced life style and to some due to aging process. As a result men report decrease in erection or premature ejaculation, lack of sexual desire and so on.
Regulating essential hormones is really important if a better, stronger, longer-lasting sex life is to be experienced regardless of what age men is.
Men use Maca to cure impotence, erectile problems or when needed to increase testosterone levels.
Study results about maca and libido
To investigate maca’s health benefits scientist were conducting different studies in Peru, USA. In depth analysis shows that maca is nutritionally very potent food. Study research reveals an assortment of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, sterols, fatty acids, glucosinates and polysaccharides found in maca. They also discovered two novel compounds, the macamedes and macaenes. These two compounds are believed to be responsible for maca’s sex boosting properties.
This idea was also tested in vivo studies where was revealed that the maca extract promotes libido, sexual potency and increased frequency of sex. Individuals who consumed maca also got sexual results, thus normalzing steroid hormones like testosterone, progesterone and estrogen (In a research, men aged 21-56 years received maca for eight weeks in order to observe changes in sexual desire. Treatment with maca improved sexual desire).
If men have too much estrogen in their bodies, they can suffer from erectile dysfunction or absent libido. Maca is adaptogenic, therefore it responds to the needs of the body into which it is absorbed according to the age and gender of an individual. When taking this root, male libido will increase as well as their sperm count.
