Top 5 Yellow Maca Root Benefits

Although maca itself contains no actual hormones, most of maca root’s benefits are attributed to its ability to help restore sexual, endocrine (hormonal), and mental health. Here is how maca may be able to benefit both men and women:

1. PMS, Menopause, and Women with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Estrogen is the primary female sex hormone responsible for regulating the reproductive system. An imbalance in this vital hormone can cause a slew of symptoms ranging from bloating to irregular menstrual periods and mood swings. Estrogen levels that are too high or low can also make it difficult for a woman to ovulate and become pregnant.

By helping control the amount of estrogen in the body, maca root can help balance hormone levels. One study published in the International Journal of Biomedical Science gave 34 early post-menopausal women a tablet containing either maca or a placebo twice daily for four months. It also helped relieve symptoms of menopause, such as night sweats and hot flashes, and even increased bone density.

Therefore, maca is now one of the most recommended menopause supplements. Balancing hormone levels is crucial to many aspects of reproductive health and can help reduce symptoms like infertility, weight gain and bloating.

2. Women’s Hormones, Fertility, and Sexual Health

Multiple studies have confirmed that maca benefits female sexual health through several different mechanisms.

Maca root may be able to improve sexual dysfunction and boost sex drive in women. One study examined the effects of maca root on post-menopausal women with sexual dysfunction caused by the use of antidepressants. Subjects took 3,000 mg of maca root daily for 12 weeks. Compared to a placebo, maca root was able to significantly improve sexual function.

A 2008 study had similar findings, reporting that maca was well-tolerated and able to improve libido and sexual function.

Another study in 2008 found that maca root benefits both psychological symptoms and sexual function in post-menopausal women. They took 3.5 g per day of powered maca for six weeks. In fact, maca was able to reduce menopause-associated depression and anxiety after six weeks of treatment.

3. Male’s Testosterone Levels and Fertility

In clinical studies, serum levels of testosterone were not shown to be affected by maca. Black maca however, has been shown to have positive effects on sperm production, more than yellow maca and red maca.

4. Energy, Memory and Mood

Those who regularly use maca powder report that it makes them feel more awake, energized and driven, often relatively quickly after beginning to use it. Plus, maca can help increase energy without giving you the “jitters” or a sense of shakiness like high level of caffeine can.

Clinical trials have shown that maca may positively impact energy levels and stamina.

A 2022 Japanese study found that maca helped improve daily fatigue in 60 adult women who took part in the study. They consumed maca extract containing benzyl glucosinolate (9.6 mg/day) for four weeks.

Maintaining positive energy levels can also help improve mood, and some early studies have even found that maca may reduce symptoms of depression.

5. Antioxidant Booster

Maca root acts as a natural antioxidant, boosting levels of antioxidants like glutathione and superoxide dismutase in the body. Antioxidants help neutralize harmful free radicals, fighting off chronic disease and preventing damage to cells.

One study in 2014 demonstrated that polysaccharides extracted from maca had high antioxidant activity and were effective in fighting free radical damage.

Another study showed that the antioxidant content of maca leaf extract could even protect against neurological damage. Improving your antioxidant status may be beneficial for preventing conditions like heart disease and diabetes by preventing oxidative stress and cell damage.
