Maca Benefits at a Glance:
An adaptogenic herb, maca helps your system better cope with physical, mental, and emotional stressors while reducing the harmful impact that stress can have on the mind and body (such as excess fatigue, brain fog, low immunity, and anxiety).
Maca has been used traditionally for thousands of years to increase libido and balance hormones. Its bioactive compounds may support hormone production and regulation, which can help improve discomfort during the hormonal fluctuations associated with PMS, menopause, perimenopause, and when discontinuing birth control.
Adaptogens herbs like maca can also increase ATP production to support long-lasting energy, mental clarity, and physical endurance.
Why It’s Included
Adaptogens are supportive for women’s hormonal balance due to their ability to regulate stress. The compounds in maca root may also help balance estrogen and progesterone levels, which can minimize discomfort caused by hormonal fluctuations at different life stages – especially when taking oral contraceptives.
