You want a small, reliable cluster that ticks all your friendship boxes. When it comes to supplements, it\u2019s not that different. You don\u2019t want a cacophony of pills and potions,\u00a0lining your countertops, that need to be systematically ingested every day, each one for a different ailment. You want the incredible few that know what your busy life needs and are able to support you in a whole bunch of different aspect.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t yet <a class=\"wpGallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/superfoods-organic-maca-root-powder\">stumbled upon Maca<\/a>, you\u2019re about to make one of those friends you hit it off with straight away because, well, they get you. Maca, the herb from Peru whose roots have been revered for centuries by the Peruvians, is sending palpable ripples through the health food scene for its remarkable hormone, mood and strength enhancing properties. They don\u2019t call it the warrior herb for no good reason.\u00a0And who doesn\u2019t want the kind of friend that gets you off your backside and motivates you to live up to your full potential? Discover why Maca is quickly going to become that new best friend for you.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>What makes Maca so unique:<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>The root powder is actually what\u2019s known as an adaptogen. You\u2019ve heard of those right? This basically means it is ideally suited to \u2018adapting\u2019 to your body\u2019s unique needs. By supporting your whole body functioning it has the ability to stabilise various systems, like your metabolism, your cardiovascular system, nervous system, musculature, lymphatic system, bringing them back into balance. But it if any of those systems don\u2019t require input if you will, maca rot won\u2019t overstimulate any given one. As an adaptogen it also boosts immunity.<\/p>\n<p>On the hormone front, the same principle applies. By supporting your endocrine system, the root can stimulate your body to produce the hormone which is in a state of imbalance.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How women specifically can benefit from taking Maca:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Ups the ant on your libido<\/li>\n<li>Enhances fertility<\/li>\n<li>Assists in regulating ovulation cycles<\/li>\n<li>Improves hair growth and skin tone<\/li>\n<li>Balances hormones during menstruation cycles and transition to menopause<\/li>\n<li>Subdues hot flashes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How men benefit from taking Maca:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>These enhancements have been specifically noted with black maca.<\/li>\n<li>Increase in sperm count<\/li>\n<li>Boosting libido<\/li>\n<li>Athletes requiring extra strength and stamina<\/li>\n<li>Support muscle growth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These benefits have been\u00a0<a class=\"wpGallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/superfoods-black-maca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">specifically noted in the consumption of black maca<\/a>. It is also purported to be excellent at preventing osteoporosis and protecting the bone structure.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Overall experienced benefits:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Heightens your focus<\/li>\n<li>Eases symptoms of depression<\/li>\n<li>Improves memory<\/li>\n<li>Improves hair growth and skin tone<\/li>\n<li>Keeps stress and anxiety at bay<\/li>\n<li>Boosts your energy levels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Where Maca gets its superpowers:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This isn\u2019t your run of the mill superfood supplement that only ticks one box.\u00a0Maca is nutritionally rich:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High in vitamins, especially B1, B2, C &amp; E<\/li>\n<li>Rich in minerals including calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sulphur and iron<\/li>\n<li>Contains trace minerals; including zinc, iodine, copper, selenium, bismuth, manganese and silica<\/li>\n<li>It has about 10% bioavailable calcium and about 12-14% bioavailable protein<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Amped up on amino acids<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Maca contains\u00a0nearly 20 amino acids and seven essential amino acids. This is what gives it it\u2019s hormone regulating edge. Proteins are made up of amino acids and provide key building blocks for much of what happens in the human body. Everything from cell structure, hair, skin and yes hormones. Certain types of hormones like insulin or growth hormones churned out by your pituitary gland are \u2018built\u2019 using amino acids. So, by providing your body directly with good quality amino acids, your body is primed to begin building the hormones it needs.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When Maca will particularly work for you<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We would be remiss if we didn\u2019t caveat this incredible super root with some realistic expectations. Without fully knowing what is causing your hormone imbalance, you can\u2019t expect one product to be your cure-all.\u00a0If for example, you\u2019ve got a growth on your thyroid or have been diagnosed with endometriosis, you should first make sure with your doctor with taking maca could help or complicate things.<\/p>\n<p>According to Alisa Vitti, founder of the acclaimed Woman Code,\u00a0<a class=\"wpGallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.floliving.com\/maca-hormones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">there are 3 instances in which taking Maca<\/a>\u00a0for hormone regulation can be highly beneficial:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ve decided to come off the birth control pill and your hormones are totally out of whack<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019re entering perimenopause and post-menopause<\/li>\n<li>After you\u2019ve had a baby and are no longer breastfeeding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How best to consume your daily dose of Maca<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are 3 primary types of maca root, red, yellow and black.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/superfoods-organic-maca-root-powder\">Yellow maca<\/a>\u00a0is the most common and packs a powerful punch in all the above-mentioned areas, with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/superfoods-black-maca\">black maca<\/a>\u00a0being particularly good for men and highly active types.
