Guo S, et al. (2016). Preservation of Cognitive Function by Lepidium meyenii (Maca) Is Associated with Improvement of Mitochondrial Activity and Upregulation of Autophagy-Related Proteins in Middle-Aged Mouse Cortex. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27648102/ It remains unclear exactly how maca increases energy levels, but it’s believed to help prevent spikes and crashes in blood sugar and maintain adrenal health, which regulates mood and energy throughout the day. Keeping energy levels up may also help prevent weight gain as well. Research suggests that maca may benefit people who are going through menopause by helping alleviate some symptoms, including hot flashes and interrupted sleep. Summary Johnson-Arbor K, et al. (2018). Unintentional and Sequential Lead Exposure from a Ceramic Mug and Maca ( Lepidium meyenii). Maca root can help balance hormone levels and control the amount of estrogen in the body. 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. Not only did maca help balance hormone levels, but it also relieved symptoms of menopause, such as night sweats and hot flashes, and even increased bone density.Additionally, while maca root is actually considered a cruciferous vegetable like broccoli or Brussels sprouts, ginseng belongs to the Araliaceae family of plants, which is composed primarily of tropical shrubs and trees. Ginseng also tends to be more bitter while maca has an earthy, nutty taste that is often added to recipes and drinks to boost both the nutrient content and the flavor profile.

If you take it as a supplement, research has found it to be safe in amounts of up to 3 g per day when used for no longer than four months. Maca is also able to balance female sex hormones and has even been shown to alleviate symptoms of menopause. It’s 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. 4. Balances Estrogen Levels

However, scientists need to study maca more extensively before it can be recommended for treating any health condition or symptom.That said, a 2018 study examined a case of a woman whose blood lead concentration increased after consuming a maca supplement.
