Energy and endurance booster: Maca does not contain caffeine, but it’s high in energy producing B vitamins, so you can skip your coffee. Maca is also a really good vegan source of vitamin B12. Healthy hormones: Maca supports a healthy endocrine system, regulating hormones that are often out of whack due to environmental estrogens. Maca does not contain any hormones, but works within each individual body to provide just the right amount of nutrients to balance your hormone needs. If you are producing too little of a certain hormone, maca has been shown to regulate that up, and if you are getting too much, it will regulate it down. Hormone imbalances can lead to many ailments, including cancer and depression. High amount of calcium, magnesium, and iron: Maca’s calcium and vitamin C help build muscle mass, while its alkaloids, which help the body metabolize, help the body transport all these nutrients just where they are needed.
