MACA'S FUNCTIONS & VIRTUES
With its many health enhancing properties finally becoming widely publicized, Maca root is a product that can make people feel, look, and perform better. Clinical data continues to verify what the original Peruvians have known for millenia. Maca's place in pre-conquest Peru as a remedy and nutritious super-food precedes written history. The first recorded uses by Spaniards in the 16th century corroborate exactly what indigenous healers of the Andes mountains had developed into their system of medicine.
A TRUE ADAPTOGEN
In the 1930s, Russian scientists studying plant medicine coined the term adaptogen to refer to a plant that promoted non specific benefits to an organism while inducing NO negative side effects. Maca is considered by top researchers to be a true adaptogen. * An adaptogen is a substance which raises the non-specific resistance in an organism. * Adaptogens enable the body to enhance its power of resistance and adapt to external conditions. * While maca's major virtues are well known popularly and are currently being verified by scientific inquiry, it remains clear that many of its possible benefits are only yet hinted at and worthy of greater study. Today, new alkaloid fractions identified in Maca are propelling scientific trials by universities around the world. Maca: The Endocrine Adaptogen! The endocrine system is a collection of glands that produce chemical "messengers" called hormones essential for normal bodily functions. A wide variety of physiological processes are carried out unconsciously by these "messengers". Once released they flow directly into the bloodstream and are transported to organs and tissues throughout the entire body.
Scientists and doctors are now finding maca to be one of the best natural ways to regulate and support endocrine health. This action regulates metabolism, energy levels, growth, sexual development and the sense of well being and attitude. Thankfully, maca does not contain hormones itself. Instead it provides a unique set of nutrients that directly fuel the endocrine system and help the glands to produce vital hormones in precise dosages predetermined by one's own body.
In addition, recent studies of maca also show:
- Its fiber as well as glucosinolate content show promise in helping combat some cancers.
- Bio-available calcium, in conjunction with its alkaloids, make it an effective bond builder, thus reducing osteomalacia and rickets.
- Some of its fatty acids function as fungicides and local antiseptics, which may aid in overall immunity enhancement.
- Tannins bind and precipitate proteins, which improves the nutritional value of maca.
- Saponins and terpenoids may aid as a sedative, expectorant, pain reliever, anti-tumoral, and analgesic.
- Effects general and not localized to a specific organ. o Normalizing action irrespective of the pathological state.
