As
an adaptogen, Maca can help balance, strengthen
and support any area of the body under compromise
due to stress.
Maca Live™ is
a powerful adaptogen, meaning it helps to restore
balance or homeostasis to the body. Rather than
addressing a specific symptom, adaptogens are used
to improve the overall adaptability of the whole
system. Maca is also commonly called "Peruvian
Ginseng" -- other adaptogen herbs are ginseng
and astragalus.
The
main effects of adaptogens are an increased availability
of energy during the day, a reduction
of stress feelings, increased endurance, greater
mental alertness, and deep and restful sleep. Also,
adaptogens significantly accelerate the recovery
process after illness.
According to modern science adaptogens are natural
plant products that increase the body's ability
to cope with internal and external stress
factors, and normalize the functions of the organism.
They help maintain the stable internal environment
inside the organism known as homeostasis. An important
characteristic is that they are safe, possessing
few known side-effects.
MACA is considered by top researchers
to be a true adaptogen, working with the bodies
natural rhythms to help rebuild week immune systems,
re-mineralize poorly nourished bodies, and increase
energy and endurance.
Other examples of how maca directly
affects the human body: reducing physical or mental
stress, balancing hormonal irregularities, promoting
the growth of healthy hair, bones, and teeth, and
promoting muscle tone. Most people feel their mood
and energy level improve immediately.
Other adaptogenic benefits include
increased energy, stamina, libido, sexual function,
immune function, mental clarity and a sense of well-being.
Plants known as "adaptogens" are known
to: support and boost the immune
system, be capable of normalizing functions
in the body, be non-toxic and harmless to any organ
of the body, and be safe for ingestion for long
periods as a nutritive supplement.
As an
adaptogen, Maca effectively tones and strengthens
the adrenal glands and thus the entire body, giving
us the ability to effectively combat stress.
