Maca is a plant that some populations in Peru have used for thousands of years as a food and medicine. Maca is a common ingredient in Peruvian cooking that gives dishes an earthy flavor. Maca root plant can be ground up into a powder and added to meals or smoothies. Aside from its culinary uses, maca may also have several health benefits. In the last few decades, Maca has grown in popularity around the world as a natural remedy for certain health issues, including infertility and low sex drive.
Maca root, the part of the plant most commonly used, contains fiber, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. It also contains other bio active compounds, including macamides, macaridine, alkaloids, and glucosinolates, which are thought to be responsible for maca’s medicinal benefits. People take maca for male infertility, health problems after menopause, increasing sexual desire in healthy people, and other purposes, but there is no good scientific evidence to support any of these uses.
