Peruvian poppy is one very interesting plant.

Maca root has long been used to increase male strength and enhance sex drive.

In addition, maca makes a person energetic and hardy.

Peruvian Macai

You are unlikely to be able to dig up the maca root yourself. Well, unless you live in Peru and love to climb over four thousand meters.

Poppy belongs to the cruciferous vegetable family, that is, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. are in the same boat with it. The Peruvians have long found out about the usefulness of this product - since ancient times they have been using it both in cooking and in medicine.

The root of the plant is mainly eaten. Its color varies depending on the variety.

Peruvian maca root is usually dried and consumed in powder form, but it can also be found in capsules and liquid form.

The taste of the powder, as they say, is not for everybody. Those who are lucky enough to taste it describe the taste as earthy, a bit like nuts.

Foodies add maca powder to smoothies, oatmeal, and various sweets.

Despite the fact that mankind has learned about the Peruvian poppy for a long time, research on the topic remains scarce and incomplete.

Scientists have to test the plant on animals or rely on research sponsored by maca companies.

Don't feed bread2

Maca is a very nutritious product, literally stuffed with all sorts of nishtyaks that lead nutritionists to ecstasy.

28 grams of powder contains:

91 kcal

20 g carbohydrates

4 g protein

2 g dietary fiber

1 g fat

And also: 133% (hereinafter - from the daily intake) of vitamin C, 23% of iron, 16% of potassium, 15% of vitamin B6, etc.

If you are looking for a great source of carbohydrates that is low in fat, you are in the right place.

Decreased sexual desire is a common problem, especially among those whose birthday candles no longer fit on the cake. Although, in fairness, it is worth noting that sexual problems "get younger" every year.

Therefore, the demand for plants that are able to solve such an intimate problem is growing so.

Peruvian maca has earned its reputation as a "libidiner" not from scratch - its beneficial effect is confirmed by multiple studies.

One of these was carried out about ten years ago. 131 people took part in it. The effect of maki has been confirmed. The recommended course of admission is six weeks. It is after this period that the effect is most pronounced.

Maca also performed well in cases where men had problems conceiving children.

Take a study of about ten young men, for example. They initially had no problems with male health, but agreed to consume this plant for four months. What's the bottom line? Both the number and motility of sperm increased.

What is menopause? A period in a woman's life when menstruation, which has given her so much trouble throughout her life, is waving a pen.

Menopause is accompanied by a serious hormonal change, which brings certain inconveniences and discomfort to a woman's life.

Symptoms of menopause are quite unpleasant: you have vaginal dryness, mood swings, irritability and insomnia.

Taking Peruvian Maca helps to survive this difficult period for a woman with minimal consequences (for the nervous system and those around).

Clinical tests have also shown that maca can reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

And thanks to the flavonoids in the composition, this Peruvian find helps to eliminate or reduce increased anxiety and helps fight depression - which is important for people of both sexes and all ages.

Natural energy drink5

Maka is highly respected by athletes.

It has a beneficial effect on muscle growth, increases strength and endurance, increases energy and helps athletes give their best.

Cyclists have undergone another experiment. Thanks to the use of the Peruvian plant, they were able to improve their performance in the competition.

But with regard to specifically the mass gain and the effect of superpower - everything here is based only on the testimony of the athletes themselves. The effect of maca on muscle gain has not been clinically proven.

Ultraviolet rays are dangerous. In addition to being sunburned, you shorten the distance between you and early wrinkles. Don't forget that carelessness among sunbathers increases the risk of melanoma.

Now the study was carried out on laboratory rats - their skin was covered with the plant extract. And thanks to this, the poor animals were saved from the harmful effects of UV rays.

Still, it is not recommended to neglect specialized means. And if you already decided to rely on Mother Nature, remember that the poppy will need to be smeared on yourself. A powdered morning smoothie won't save you a sunburned bum.

Club of intellectuals7

Peruvian maca has a positive effect on brain function.

The indigenous people of Peru have long ago cut this chip and treated their children with this plant, so that they would bring good marks from school.

Black poppy is said to have the most beneficial effect on memory.

But not the fact that it will help you remember what happened at yesterday's party, when you washed down champagne with a bottle of dubious whiskey.

PS Unconfirmed fact by science: sometimes it's better not to try to remember what your brain has carefully erased from memory.

Just about the prostate8

An enlarged prostate is an unpleasant thing. She brings certain discomfort to a man's life - for example, frequent urge to urinate.

It is believed that red poppy can solve this problem. And to prevent the development of malignant tumors.

How to use it9

Add it to smoothies, cereals, use for baking.

The optimal dose as such has not been established. In terms of multiple scientific studies, about 1.5 - 5 grams of maca was most commonly used.

Since enterprising guys have found out about the secrets of this plant, and the demand for it is growing every day, it is very easy to acquire this treasure. Look for poppy seeds on the shelves in supermarkets, nutritionists or order online. One of the most popular sites for ordering the "right" food is iHerb. But if you are a fan of all kinds of healthy bars and sweets without sugar, be careful - you can leave half your salary there.

Release form: powder, capsules, liquid extract.

Is it safe? 10

The plant is simply bathed in positive reviews. It is believed that maca is an absolutely safe product.

The indigenous people of Peru recommend boiling the maca beforehand.

Who should stop using altogether? Breast cancer, thyroid dysfunction, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, fibroids - in the presence of these diseases, poppy can be dangerous to humans, since its extract contains estrogen. It is also not recommended to use maca for girls who are expecting an addition to the family and for nursing mothers.

So, let's summarize. When is Peruvian Maca used for treatment?

Move on.

The Slavs must stick together, so we will go through Ukrainian online stores and calculate the costs in hryvnia.

Test purchase results12

Should I get a Maca?

If you have no obvious contraindications, you consulted your doctor and he recommended that you pay attention to this remedy - yes.

Is this plant safe?

Yes.

Can anyone give a 100% guarantee that I will not have "side effects"?

Not. Someone can destroy three chocolates with nuts in one sitting and will feel great. The other will begin to have Quincke's edema from just one type of peanut bar. Everything is purely individual.

Is it realistic to purchase a product for less than a thousand rubles?

Really. But it's worth remembering the adage about the stingy man who pays twice. Don't order poppy seeds on questionable sites.
