From increasing libido to improving erectile dysfunction, maca root has superfood sex appeal. While black maca has only recently garnered interest from other parts of the world, Peruvians have been using maca for medicinal and culinary purposes for thousands of years. Directly imported from Peru and used by Peruvians, Heilen Biopharm’s black maca root powder is used as a traditional remedy for healthy sexual function, mainly in men. But also used by postmenopausal women to alleviate hot flashes, depression, and anxiety. It increases your energy without generating nervousness, which is ideal for students looking for a natural supplement. Unlike the range of genuinely wonderful berries that have been found in Peru and Chile, Black Maca is not an antioxidant. It is an adaptogen. Therefore, it contains a host of phenolic compounds that show results like those of saw palmetto, ginseng, and L-arginine. It does, however, contain enough vitamin C to have antioxidant benefits but its apoptogenic properties have been the focus of much testing.
As a caffeine-free, plant-based superfood, it's hard not to love Black Maca. This versatile adaptogen herb helps the body adapt and deal with different stressors so you can live a well-balanced life.* And it's safe and easy to add to your everyday routine.
Muscular Endurance and Energy
The Black Maca Product works great by improving endurance, mental balance/focus, and stamina during triathlon training for strength, running, biking, and swimming. Before the daily workout, mix a spoonful of black maca with yogurt. The increased energy level allows for better lifting and cardio. As an adaptogen, black maca root can increase energy levels without affecting the cortisol levels in the body. This can increase stamina and endurance, but if too much is taken, it can have the opposite effect too.
Sperm Production
From 2006 to 2016 there have been several significant independent studies done on how black-colored roots of maca affect both sperm production and sperm motility.
A study from 2006 found that “black maca increased epididymal sperm count after 84 days of treatment” in the male rats studied. It also concluded that compared to other colors of maca, “black maca appeared to have a more beneficial effect on sperm counts and epididymal sperm motility.”
Similar results were found in 2016 with an increase in daily sperm production. This study, using mice, found that sperm motility, as well as sexual dysfunction, was affected positively by adding black maca root to the animals’ diet over the course of 12 weeks. It also found that “Black Maca affects sperm count as early as 1 day after the beginning of treatment.”
Memory
Black maca tested more effective than red or yellow when it came to improving memory. Peruvians claim the children that drink the boiled juice of maca do well in school.
In 2011 two different studies, one from China and one from Peru found that Black Maca helped laboratory mice improve their memory and concentration skills.
Improving Mood, Learning, and Concentration
In 2006 a Peruvian team observed that while all maca colors contributed favorably to reducing depression, black maca also improved the learning and concentration abilities of laboratory mice. And a more recent study from 2016 from an esteemed and larger group of international researchers found that black maca improved mood as well as overall “quality of life.”
WOMEN CAN ALSO CONSUME BLACK MACA POWDER
If you’ve researched it a bit, black maca is sometimes considered to be "men's maca." That’s primarily because, as you’ve seen in the research above, black maca has been shown to be the best for building sperm count. But it’s also just fine for women to take black maca and many women do just that. Maca does not contain any hormones. Instead, it acts as a supplement that stimulates the body to achieve healthy hormone levels. Many of our female customers interested in muscle building and increasing strength and stamina enjoy it regularly. A 2015 study found that maca root may help reduce sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women who were taking an antidepressant.
DOSAGE
1 tablespoon of black maca dissolved in warm milk with a spoonful of honey. When using powder; use 2 tsp per serving. You can experiment with the powder but don’t take more than 6 tsp daily. 1 serving daily is fine as a booster if taken with your other smoothie supplements.
