The benefits of maca powder are many and varied, but one of the most intriguing is its effects in the bedroom.
Maca is a sacred root vegetable plant which was once worshipped by the ancient Incans.
Fast forward to today and the substance has been dubbed a superfood for its many powerful properties.
Maca is known to reduce stress, increase vitality and improve resistance to disease.
It’s also used for its purported power on hormonal levels and the libido.
Both female and male libidos can benefit from the natural aphrodisiac, according to various studies.
Maca could help with erectile and sexual dysfunction, as the powder is believed to increase levels of nitric oxide, which are important in achieving and maintaining an erection.
But the evidence is not conclusive.
Professor Adriane Fugh-Berman told WebMD: “Maca might have a positive effect on sexual dysfunction.
“Yet there are so many psychological and social aspects when measuring sexual healing that it is hard to be conclusive.”
Fugh-Berman added that maca might only lead to “slightly enhanced sexual desire”.
But physician Hyla Cass believes in the powers of maca when it comes to the bedroom.
