Maca is a powerful ancient Peruvian super food. It is used as a root vegetable and a medicinal herb. Once harvested, the Maca root was traditionally dried, then powdered. Maca is also called Peruvian ginseng. It is said to be the fountain of youth. Maca is a member of the cruciferous family of plants that includes broccoli, cabbage, kale, turnips and radishes, cultivated between 3,800 to 4,400 meters above sea level, mainly in the central Andes, where it has been domesticated and currently cultivated

Estrogen is the primary female sex hormone responsible for regulating the reproductive system. An imbalance in this vital hormone can cause a slew of symptoms ranging from bloating to irregular menstrual periods and mood swings. Estrogen levels that are too high or low can also make it difficult for a woman to ovulate and become pregnant

Maca root can help balance hormone levels and control the amount of estrogen in the body. One study published in the International Journal of Biomedical Science gave 34 early post-men0pausal women a tablet containing either maca or a placebo twice daily for four months. Not only did maca help balance hormone levels, but it also relieved symptoms of men0pause, such as night sweats and hot flashes, and even increased bone density. (11)

In addition to reducing symptoms of men0pause, regulating estrogen levels may also help with improving reproductive health and fertility and decreasing symptoms related to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), such as excess hair growth and acne.

Maca is eaten to counteract physical and mental fatigue, and to balance the daily diet with its wide variety of minerals, amino acids, vitamins, phenols and other components.
