Maca Root Sexual Wellness Capsules (60)

Description

Maca root (Lepidum meyenil) is reportedly an ancient and revered adaptogen and sexual wellness herb treasured by a plethora of indigenous peoples living in the Andean mountains of South America.  Hand-gathered and eventually cultivated for over 6,000 years, Maca is known as a “superfood” due to its reputation for providing sustained physical energy. This sexual wellness herb is nourishing to the body and hormonal systems, and is effective in both the short and long term. It’s also been shown to be equally effective for both men and women.*

The chemical composition also supports the reputed medicinal benefits of Maca as a food supplement as it is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, sterols, and alkaloids, which are essential to sustained energy and healthy bodies. The nutritional value of the dried Maca Root is high, resembling that found in cereal grains such as maize, rice, and wheat, as well as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage. Maca Root typically has 50-100 times the glucosinaolates as these vegetables, making this a true superfood.

Small-scale clinical trials performed in men have shown that maca extracts can heighten libido (sexual appetite) in both sexes and improve semen quality in men. Maca has not been shown to affect sex hormone levels in humans, but it has been shown to increase mating behavior in male mice and rats. This is a significant discovery!

Speaking of studies, in one of my favorites, published in Andrologica, significant subjective sexual effects were found with Maca Root. As researcher state; after 4 weeks of treatment, “Both Maca and placebo-treated patients experienced a significant increase in IIEE-5 score. However, patients taking Maca experienced a more significant increase than those taking placebo. Only Maca-treated patients experienced a significant improvement in physical and social performance-related SAT-P score compared with the baseline. In conclusion, our data support a small but significant effect of Maca supplementation on subjective perception of general and sexual well-being in adult patients with mild erectile dysfunction.”

The study was carried out as a double-blind clinical trial on 50 Caucasian men affected by mild erectile dysfunction (ED), randomized to treatment with Maca dry extract, about 2000 mg, or placebo. All of our Sextracts Sexual Wellness products use a 4:1 Standardized Maca Extract, which means you get the same as 4000mg of Maca per two capsule serving.

In another amazing study on Maca, the researchers were so confident in their results, that they said this; “The present study reveals for the first time an aphrodisiac effect of L. meyenii, an Andean Mountain herb from Peru.” The researchers found that within a 3 hour period of taking Maca, libido and sexual potency in normal mice was significantly and measurably increased. Moreover, in a study of 1-day mating, the number of sperm-positive females was 2.5 times higher than the control group. Lastly, in tests with rats with some level of erectile dysfunction was also markedly improved. Yes, this study isn’t on humans, but the results were significant enough to provide hope to those in search of sexual wellness herbs that are backed by science instead of marketing and hype.

Researchers are finding that Maca root works as an adaptogen, instigating the production of certain minerals essential to health, and analysis reveals a brain-powering profile of amino acids, minerals, sterols, and fatty acids. Because Maca is a vegetable rather than a medicine, it can safely be eaten in any quantity by men and women of any age group.

Sextracts Sexual Wellness focuses on these benefits of Maca:

• Energy – by balancing the endocrine system
• Sexual Stamina – Vitality, well-being, emotional balance and sexual stamina
• Low Libido – shown to noticeably increase sexual drive
• Erectile Issues – shown to assist in erectile issues in the immediate

Not all sexual wellness herbs have to claim to lengthen the girth of the penis in order to be effective. Sexual wellness is a complex system of attitude, perception, both bodily and emotional health in order to enjoy happy, healthy sex lives. Studies continually find that perception is an amazing determiner of sexual wellness. In men, it’s often related to erectile issues or size. For women, they often worry about pleasing their man. Luckily, there is a long history of herbs that have been discovered and tested throughout time for both men and women. Sextracts Sexual Wellness products are just one piece of a complex puzzle. This is the exact reason we only offer products with scientific backing. We seek out organic, standardized, and non-GMO products, with standardized levels of active components to ensure you are getting the maximum benefit from any of our sexual wellness products.
