When I first heard of this
herb, I thought e-gads, I'm not sure my women customers would want this, (I know
the men would) however after doing the research on it and taking a bottle, I found
it is an exceptional nutritive support, very safe and has a great deal to offer
besides increased libido.
It is an herb that is cultivated at 14,000 feet in the Andean Mountains. For generations
it has been a very valuable commodity to the Andean Indians. Native Peruvians
have traditionally used and traded it because of its nutritive value and medicinal
qualities. It is known as the "Women's Ginseng." The medicinal properties are
anti-fatigue (due in part to its high content of naturally assimilated iron, aphrodisiac
(helps move the Chi, like Ginseng), Nutritive, (very high in minerals as the tuber
roots are used), Immunostimulant (large amounts of amino acids, vitamins, minerals
and calcium), Steroidal, (naturally helps balance hormones) and also helps all
menstrual disorders. In a chemical analysis conducted in 1981 the biologically
active substance p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate was found, and this is reputed
for its aphrodisiac properties. Initial analysis of Maca Maca indicates that the
effects of fertility are the results of the glucosinolates. Yes, it does enhance
fertility, but as you all know you won't get pregnant by taking it, that requires
a secondary factor! The other interesting thing that the Peruvians have traditionally
used this for is the treatment of Tuberculosis. Now TB is reaching epidemic proportions
on this planet and this would be a natural daily supplement to add in. An added
bonus is that it is also a memory enhancer! We all need that one! I would think
that would be due to the increase in circulation, similar to Ginkgo.
Here's a little interesting history that has been well documented: Soon after
the Spanish Conquest in South America, the Spanish found that their animals were
reproducing poorly in the highlands. The local Indians recommended they give them
Maca Maca. So remarkable were the results that Spanish chroniclers gave in-depth
reports. It's fertility enhancing properties were supported clinically as early
as 1961, when researchers found increased fertility in rats.
New FDA Label Regulations. This is a good one folks. The new law says that all
herbs must carry the same ingredient label as food. You know the labels that say
sodium, carbohydrates, etc. This label takes up a great deal of space on the label.
To get around this the natural medicine industry in some cases have reduced the
dose on the bottles, so that they can keep this label off the bottles. If they
place the dose too high then they are required to list the carbohydates, sodium,
fat, which in our opinion is an extreme waste of space on the label. It basically
does not let us say anything about the product because there is no space left.
I have purposely designed the label of Maca Maca to reflect no dosage. It reads:
Consult your health care practitioner. You will most likely see dramatic dose
reductions on other products in the future, this is why it is so important to
be able to get proper dosage information from a company like ours. Remember this:
Dose for Maca Maca - 2-3 caps 2-3 times daily. This was used as a food supplement
by the Indians, so it is very safe, but you have to take enough of it to be effective.
I have taken up to 10 per day and noticed no side effects, just more energy. In
my opinion this is an excellent herbal that many of you should try, especially
if you have low energy, menstrual problems or chronic low grade infections like
candida. 100 caps
- 500 mg. |
