Maca As Hormonal Regulator

The most exciting news about Maca is that it helps nourish, strengthen and balance the endocrine system of both sexes in the appropriate gender-specific manner. Its action focuses on the hypothalamus/pituitary axis, which in turn governs the intricate and very delicate hormonal system of the body.

Not only can the reproductive system be re-energized by Maca, but other important glands of the endocrine system also benefit from its use. Regular use of Maca can have a positive effect on the thyroid, parathyroid, the pancreas and the adrenal glands. Maca has been know to help with symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as impotence, infertility, frigidity, PMS, and menopausal hot flashes, safely and naturally.

The human hormonal system is extremely vulnerable and easily offset. Today, many health practitioners are recommending Maca as a safe, natural and effective way to alleviate symptoms of menopause (hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings and loss of libido) as well as good insurance against osteoporosis.

Maca works differently on the body compared to estrogenic herbs (e.g. black cohosh) that are also used in treating symptoms of menopause. Instead of introducing weak phytoestrogens into the body, Maca regulates and balances the entire endocrine system, strengthening and toning the reproductive glands to promote a heightened sense of well-being and providing the body with higher levels of energy and vitality.

Recently have we begun to see that men have a menopause of their own, known as ‘andropause.’ Characterized by a decline in testosterone or the inability to use existing testosterone, some common symptoms associated with andropause include low sex drive, impotence, depression, irritability, fatigue, muscle loss and fat accumulation. Like their female counterparts, andropause sufferers can benefit greatly from the hormonal regulating effects of Maca

The benefits of Maca seem to be for individuals of all ages. The herb supports hormonal functioning in older and younger adults, and athletes have been reporting increased energy and stamina in their workouts. Maca is the natural answer for symptoms of hormonal imbalance!
