Health benefits of maca root powder**

Supports healthy immune function – According to a study that appeared in the journal International Journal of Obesity, maca root contains glucosinolates which your body breaks down into indole-3-carbinol that can support a healthy immune system. Additionally, maca root contains high levels of protein, antioxidants and immune-supporting plant sterols.

Supports healthy cognitive function – A study that appeared in the journal Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods indicated that maca root can support optimal brain functions, such as memory, concentration and memory performance. Maca root powder is the perfect caffeine-free coffee alternative to help perk up your mind and enhance your focus. 

Supports healthy cardiovascular function – According to a study from the American Journal of Hypertension, maca root powder contains the compound sulforaphane, which can help maintain healthy blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range. Maca root is also packed with heart-healthy flavonoids and other antioxidants that support healthy blood circulation.

Supports healthy reproductive function – According to a 2010 article from the BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine Journal, maca root is well-known for supporting optimal reproductive health in both men and women. The compound responsible for maca root’s fertility-supporting properties is p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, which cannot be found in any other superfood. 

Supports healthy thyroid function – Due to its high phytonutrient content, maca root can nourish your endocrine system, including your hypothalamus, adrenal glands and most importantly, your pituitary gland. These “master glands” are responsible for the natural production of hormones throughout your body. By nourishing these glands, maca root helps maintain healthy hormone levels that are already within the normal range.   

Supports healthy stamina and endurance levels –  According to a study from the Journal of Functional Foods, maca root is packed with iron and important vitamins, minerals and amino acids that can support your body’s natural strength, endurance and stamina. Today, athletes and bodybuilders regularly consume maca root to support optimal exercise performance.

Supports healthy energy levels – According to a study that appeared in the journal Pharmaceuticals, maca root possesses unique energy-supporting properties like those of caffeine. However, unlike caffeine, maca root supports healthy energy levels without causing an energy crash afterward. Maca root is also naturally abundant in B-vitamins, which play a crucial role in maintaining optimal energy levels. 

Naturally uplifts your mood – Maca root contains high levels of zinc, iodine, essential fatty acids, flavonoids and other plant compounds that can positively influence your mood and feelings. Mix maca root powder for a healthy beverage that can perk you up like coffee without leaving you jittery or depleted afterward.

Maca root powder provides a wide variety of nutrients and antioxidants**

When it comes to nutritional content, few superfoods can even match maca root. Bursting with over 60 micronutrients, this Incan superfood has a greater mineral content than potatoes, carrots and many other root crops.

According to an article from the journal Food & Function, maca root is a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals, such as fiber, protein, copper, iron, calcium, potassium, manganese, selenium, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, iodine, silica and vitamins A, B, C, D, E, B1, B2, B3 and B12. It also contains 18 amino acids and 20 fatty acids, including palmitic acid, linoleic acid and oleic acid. Furthermore, maca root contains plenty of plant sterols, such as sitosterol, brassicasterol, campesterol, ergosterol, and ergostadienol.

According to a 2014 study from the journal Carbohydrate Polymers, the polysaccharides in maca root extract have high antioxidant activity. Maca root also contains other antioxidants, such as  flavonoids, phenols, saponins, glucosinolates,  glycosides and vitamins C and E. The regular consumption of maca root can even support your body’s natural production of natural antioxidants like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione. By supplementing with antioxidant-rich maca root powder, you can help protect your cells from oxidative damage and support a healthy immune system.
