Superfoods Organic Maca Root Powder - Superfoods

Maca is an adaptogen, meaning that it helps the body to adapt to increased stressors. Maca is well known as an amazing hormone balancer, and strength builder. Because of its oxygenating effect on the blood, Maca has also gained the reputation for being the best natural Viagra or aphrodisiac.

Maca is a wonderful superfood and will benefit you in the following:

• High in vitamins especially vitamins B1, B2, C and E.
• Rich in minerals including calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sulfur and iron, and contains trace minerals, including zinc, iodine, copper, selenium, bismuth, manganese and silica.
• It has about 10% bioavailable calcium and about 12-14% bioavailable protein.
• It contains nearly 20 amino acids and seven essential amino acids.
• It is power-packed with life enhancing enzymes. "A person's lifespan is directly related to the exhaustion of their enzyme potential." - Dr Howell. This basically means more enzymes in your diet equals a longer and healthier life.
• Contains nearly 60 phytochemicals.
• Dried maca powder contains 60% carbohydrates, 9% fiber, and slightly more than 10% protein. It has a higher lipid (fat) content than other root crops (2.2%).
• But most importantly - it is an adaptogen so it "adapts" to your body's metabolism, working with your body for optimum results.¿It has the ability to balance and stabilise the body's systems (cardiovascular system, nervous system, musculature, lymphatic system, etc.). As an adaptogen, Maca can provide more energy if it is needed, but if it is not, it will not overstimulate. Adaptogens also boost immunity and increase the body's overall vitality by 10-15% according to most studies. Rather than addressing a specific symptom, adaptogens are used to improve the overall adaptability of the whole body to diverse and challenging situations and stress. This is an excellent supplement during pregnancy.
