Mary Ruth's Maca Root Liquid Extract, Organic

With the first published description of Maca Root dating back to 1553, Lepidium meyenii has been used by people for centuries. Maca Root is grown between 2800-5000 meters above sea level in the central Peruvian Andes. This herb is a part of the Brassicaceae family, alongside other plants such as Broccoli, Cauliflower, Kale, and Cabbage. Maca is known to have adaptogenic properties and may help relieve stressors in the body, thus helping to maintain homeostasis. It is also known for its traditional benefits, and limited research suggests that it may increase libido, energy and endurance, and mood balance. Though preliminary, Maca has been found to increase males’ sexual behavior in some trials. In one study, Maca was found to increase males’ self-rated sexual desire over time compared to the placebo.
