Maca Root Powder (Black) – Organic – Raw – 4oz

Black Maca Root was shown to support men’s reproductive health in just one day after treatment. During this study, lab rats were given 2 grams of black maca root for 12 days, and health statistics were tested every couple days. The results showed an increase in positive measurements, after just one day of treatment with the results increasing over the entire 12 days.

Black maca generates core energy in the body and mind without the stimulant effects from caffeine. Black maca root is invigorating and uplifting through its’ powerful and distinctive nutritional profile. In the Andes, maca is used as a general tonic for overall well-being. Many Andeans drink maca in the morning because they believe it feeds their life-force. Though it is not a stimulant, it has a natural wake up call effect. In one study, rats were given black maca root to see how quickly they would reach maximum fatigue while swimming. Rats that were given no maca reached fatigue in 10 – 15 minutes while the rats that ate black maca root reached fatigue in 100 – 120 minutes.
