“Maca regulates the organs of internal secretion, such as the pituitary, the adrenal glands and the pancreas. I have had perhaps 200 female patients whose menopausal symptoms are alleviated by taking Maca.” Dr. Hugo Malaspina, MD
“Maca has proven to be very effective with menopausal patients in eliminating hot flashes and depression and in increasing energy levels.” Dr. Gabriel Cousens, MD
“My first patient to take the Maca capsules was experiencing hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. She started feeling much better after using this herb for only four days. I’m also employing it with patients who have low adrenal function.” Dr. Henry Campanile, MD
“At least 50 percent of my menopausal patients are using Maca and doing well.” Dr. Alan Warshowsky, MD
“We all hear rumors about various products like Maca. But using this Peruvian root myself, I personally experienced a significant improvement in erectile tissue response.” Garry F. Gordon, MD

“Of course, as someone interested in longevity, I’m aware that mortality comes on much sooner for those individuals whose sexual activity is diminished or nonexistent. In other words, I believe that people who engage in sex twice a week or more live longer. I’ve found sexual activity to be a reliable marker for overall aging. What I see in Maca is a means of normalizing our steroid hormones like testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen. Therefore it has facility to forestall the hormonal changes of aging.” Garry F. Gordon, MD, Founder of the International College of Advanced Longevity Medicine
“I happen to have been born with one adrenal gland just like my father. One of my patients told me about Maca and I have started taking it about a month ago. It is phenomenal! I haven’t felt this good since I was 20 years old. I have so much energy and look so well, my patients have remarked on it and told me how rested I seem. I’ve got so much energy now I’ve started an exercise program.” Henry Campanile. M.D.
“There are many benefits that have been experimented with Maca. I have two in mind: The excellent results in the treatment of anemic children, and that we could induce heat in female dogs that were infertile before consuming small amounts of Maca during a relatively short term.” Dr. Gloria Chacon, PhD
“Maca has a lot of easily absorbable calcium in it, plus magnesium, and a fair amount of silica which we are finding very useful in treating the decalcification of bones in children and adults.” Jorge Aguila Calderon, MD
“I’m amazed at how fast Maca works…within just four days of taking the Maca capsules, Mary T went through an enormous turnaround…she feels strong and vigorous and her depression is gone.” Dr. Harold Clark, MD
“One of the most dramatic and noticeable benefits of Maca is a reduction in stress. For example, Maca can raise low blood pressure and lower high blood pressure. Maca has a balancing effect on the hormones, and therefore, can positively affect any system in the body that is out of balance. Maca may provide raw materials needed for the body to produce serotonin, which creates relaxation. As an adaptogen, it may also help lower cortisol (the stress hormone), which interferes with normal serotonin production. Normalizing cortisol will help normalize serotonin levels.” Dr. Beth Ley, PhD
