Viagra

Since Viagra was introduced, a lot of other products have also hit the market. They are all supposed to improve sexual performances. Nevertheless, these products lack scientific evidence of their effects. Maca does have scientific evidence for its working method and effectiveness.

The Peruvians have been using Maca (Lepidium Meyenii) for centuries as an energizer and potency enhancer. To prove the positive effects of Maca, the Peruvian government has invested a lot in scientific research on this plant. These studies were performed under supervision of Dr. Qun Yi Zheng. This research showed that Maca improves the libido in quite a drastic way and that it improves sexual performance. It also showed that it increases the frequency with which people have sex.

Men

Maca regulates the hormonal balance and increases the testosterone level. Furthermore it also works as an aphrodisiac and fights erective dysfunctions and impotency. For men, Maca also improves the energy level, athletic performances and stamina. Maca eases problems of the male menopause. Older people who are using Maca say that they feel younger while taking Maca. The American doctor Garry Gordon relates a healthy sex life to a longer life. That's why he claims that Maca can help fight age

Women

For women, Maca mainly increases lust or 'the appetite for sex'. This results in a higher frequency of sexual activity. Maca fills up the deficiency of important elements in the human body, like hormones, through the adaptogen action. Women get more stamina and vitality through this process. This can affect the sexual passion of women, especially women who are perimenopausal

People often call Maca: Peruvian Ginseng or Natural Viagra. To avoid misunderstandings we have made a list of differences between Maca and Viagra:

Production of Testosterone and Other Hormones

Maca is made out of a combination of alkaloids that stimulate certain parts of the brain (such as the hypophysis and the hypothalamus) to produce different kinds of hormones (testosterone) that improve the sex drive and the libido.

Steroid Hormones

Maca normalizes the steroid hormones such as testosterone, estrogen and progesterone. This means that Maca causes the endocrine system in both the male and the female body to produce hormones (such as testosterone) up to a level needed for the body to function in a healthy and natural way. By doing so, Maca can improve the sex drive in a natural way.

Scientific Research

Scientist Gustavo Gonzales, associated to the Peruvian Cayateno Heredia University, is the first scientist to have studied the effects of Maca on people*. During 3 months, he has administered Maca to 9 volunteers. His conclusions where an increase of 180 to 200% of the libido and a doubled sperm production. After 2 weeks of use, Maca provided a strongly increased "desire for sex", says Gonzales. The same study also pointed out that Maca brings down the blood pressure and that there are no negative side effects for the heart.

Male Sexual Disturbances

From "Manual der Impotenz" by Prof. Dr. Hartmut Porst

Maca increases the sex drive in a natural way by stimulating the production of hormones (such as testosterone) in the body. Maca makes your endocrine system produce enough hormones. With this, your body will not be depending on external applied hormones, but it takes care of the improvement of libido by itself.

Especially when ageing, the schedule above proves that the human body often experiences great difficulty in producing the right amount of hormones itself.

• an average of 30% of the women has a too low or insufficient libido
• an average of 25% of all women experience trouble in having an orgasm
