We wish that with your support weâll be able to overcome all difficulties we face here⌠Gracias! Welcome, again!â Juan, Chief of the Community Maca Fields Youâll Love How It Makes You Feel Balances Your Hormones Naturally Maca nourishes the pituitary gland, our master gland, to stimulate production of hormones at the correct levels for your body. It does not contain external plant oestrogens (that you find in yams, black cohosh and flax), so it cannot increase âundesiredâ hormones. This was proven in a 2008 study where womenâs symptoms improved without any increases in their testosterone or oestrogen levels (Journal of Menopause). Helps Couples Conceive & Boosts Libido Traditionally in Peru Maca is taken by couples struggling to conceive and is used for fertility in both men and women. Just ½ -1 tsp of Maca per day has been found to boost sperm motility and production (Asian Journal of Andrology, 2001). Plus, it has well-known aphrodisiac effects! âI have always had very irregular periods... [Maca] helped me get my hormonal and skin problems under control...Last week...I found out we are expecting our first childâ @mir.ela_medo on Instagram Clears Hormonal Breakouts Breakouts on your cheeks, jawline or chin are usually caused by hormonal imbalances: an excess of androgens and/or too little oestrogen that result in an overproduction of sebum (oil). Maca helps the body produce hormones at the correct levels for clearer skin. A Game-Changer For Awful Periods If youâre on the floor with pain around that time of the month, Maca can help you function again. It helps the body produce the right amount of the correct hormones needed to have normal, easy periods. âI have PCOS & just started using this Maca. It is a GAME CHANGER!! This was easily the calmest monthly cycle I've had in years! I almost forgot I had it - which is nothing short of miraculous for me.â @lola_lepaon___on_patreon__ on Instagram Gives You Strength & Stamina Inca warriors ate Maca before going into battle! It is one of the only plants capable of thriving in the barren growing conditions of the Peruvian Andes, the stamina needed to survive is passed on through the plant. Energy & Endurance For Your Workout Maca nourishes the adrenal glands, helping you produce the natural cortisol and adrenalin needed for optimal energy. Choose Maca instead of caffeine supplements that deplete the bodyâs nutrient stores. âI have the worst Adrenal fatigue from PCOS, I donât have enough energy to keep my eyes open sometimes but I take two capsules of the Maca and it helps me significantly. I can focus and have energy to get up and go about my day.â Ruzanna @iamruz on Instagram Helps Irregular Periods, Excess Facial & Body Hair High testosterone levels in women can trigger these symptoms, along with lack of periods, hair loss (from the head), sub fertility and acne â collectively known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). By nourishing the pituitary gland, Maca can help reduce excess testosterone production. Tackles Hormonal Hair Fall Thinning hair and balding spots in women can be due to an overproduction of male hormones â androgens, and too little progesterone. Maca nourishes and stimulates the entire hormonal system to get back into balance. â...Once I started taking Maca, my energy came back, my emotions stabilised and best of all, my hair stopped falling out!â Rachel @racht0326 on Instagram Freedom From Hormonal Headaches Headaches can be caused by an imbalance in the ratio of female hormones: oestrogen to progesterone. Maca acts on the pituitary gland to stimulate the ovaries and adrenal glands to produce hormones at the correct ratios for your body. Gets To The Root Of Stubborn Belly Fat If youâre struggling to lose weight, particularly around the middle, Maca can help. Maca has been shown to reduce cortisol levels â the hormone that is elevated when weâre under stress and encourages abdominal fat deposits. âI am finally starting to see a difference in my belly fat caused from extreme stress and I believe hormonal imbalance. I swear by my Maca!â Heidi @heidilfranks on Instagram Helps Normalise Your Sleep Rhythm If youâre struggling to fall sleep or are waking through the night, you may have elevated evening cortisol as a result of a stressful lifestyle. Here Maca can help to usher in sleep as its effects can lead to âa significant decrease in blood cortisol levels in a short and long term trialsâ (International Journal of Biomedical Science, 2006). Calms Anxiety, Mood Swings & Irritability If you feel emotionally unbalanced around your period, you can help these PMS-related symptoms with Maca. It works on our master gland (the pituitary) to stimulate the ovaries and adrenals to produce enough progesterone and allopregnanolone, and regulate excess oestrogen and/or testosterone. âMaca is amazing, eliminated 90% of the PMS symptoms I was getting, definitely balanced out my hormonal moods and throughout the month I feel calmer with less anxiety, itâs brilliant stuffâ @chlolovesclothes on Instagram Get Relief From Hot Flashes & Night Sweats Macaâs balancing effects are extremely effective for menopausal symptoms. In one study, 2/3 of a teaspoon of Maca daily ârelieved symptoms of menopausal discomfort, (hot flushes and night sweating in particular)â (International Journal of Biomedical Science, 2006). Handle Stress Better Maca root works as an adaptogen - defined as a class of plants that strengthen the body - physiologically and emotionally, bringing it to a higher state of resistance in the face of stress. â It nourishes the adrenal glands and has been found to lower excess cortisol. â...helped me tremendously to lower my stress levelsâ Monica @oriannasmommy on Instagram Why Our Maca Really Works A Unique Blend of 4 Plant Varieties Our unique blend is a combination of white, red, black and purple Maca varieties.
