Maca is known as the superfood of the South American Inca and it has been used for over 2000 years to promote physical and mental vitality in humans and animals. It is a good source of healthy carbohydrates, it has low-fat content, and it contains a lot of fiber in addition to the many vitamins and minerals.

Yellow maca, also called Cream Maca, does much for hormone health and overall balance. The proteins in yellow Maca are bioavailable, which means the body is better at absorbing them than proteins that are less so.

Vegans and other non-meat eaters will find yellow Maca powder beneficial for reaching their daily protein requirements.

Besides being a good source of protein, yellow Maca also has very high amounts of vitamins and nutrients, such as amino acids and free fatty acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, and C, iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and calcium. Also, yellow maca is thought to be the most beneficial for improving mood and alleviating stress because of its positive effects on hormonal balance, especially for women.

Maca has been shown to:
increase fertility, improve muscle growth, boost stamina, alleviate some of the symptoms of menopause, raise energy levels, improve prostate health, build bone density, ease symptoms of depression, enhance libido, and stabilize hormone levels.
Also, the compounds within the root give the body what it needs to handle daily stressors better and lower cortisol levels, which can exacerbate the effects of aging.

Use
◉ Consume 5-10g daily. Do not exceed recommended dosage.
◉ Maca in powder form is very easy to incorporate into your diet in several different ways. Mix into drinks, hot beverages such as lattes and hot chocolate, smoothies, hot or cold cereals, granola, overnight oats, bars, chia seed pudding, or even baked products.
BONUS TIP: Cooking it at high temperatures may destroy some of the phytonutrients.

Notes
◉ Should be stored in airtight glass containers -in a cool, dark, and dry place- to preserve the flavor, texture, and properties.
◉ Before adding a new herbal remedy or supplement to your daily routine, you should consult with a medical doctor or holistic health practitioner.
