Maca As Hormonal
Regulator
The most exciting news about Maca is that it
strengthens and balances 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
(endocrine) 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. Maca has a
positive effect on the thyroid, parathyroid, the
pancreas and the adrenal glands. Each gland in and of
itself becomes balanced and stronger as it reaps the
benefits of excellent glandular nutrition. With the
supplemental aid of Maca, symptoms such as impotence,
infertility, frigidity, PMS, and menopausal hot flashes
can all be corrected in a safe, natural, and affordable
way.
The human hormonal system is extremely vulnerable
and easily offset. Judging from the widespread
popularity of ViagraTM and Hormone
Replacement Therapy (HRT) treatments, it is apparent
that this delicate system of ours is suffering like
never before. Luckily Maca acts as an excellent
counterbalance in the recovery of good hormonal health
for both women and men.
Today, many health practitioners are prescribing
Maca as an alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Using Maca is safe and effective way
to alleviate symptoms of menopause (hot flashes, vaginal
dryness, mood swings and loss of libido) as well as a
good method to help prevent
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. Teenagers have
also benefited from its effects on hormone balancing and
acne. Maca is the natural
answer for hormonal
deficiencies!
