Article: What Are The Benefits Of MACA Root For Women?

Menopause System:
MACA root is often used instead of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in menopausal women. It affects the pituitary gland. While HRT stimulates hormone production and can cause ovaries to atrophy, MACA root simply helps to balance it without damaging a woman’s body.  This herb is a natural hormone balancer that helps to relieve menopausal symptoms, which result from hormonal imbalances.  These symptoms include night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness and depression.  It also helps to alleviate the symptoms of fibromialgia.

Infertility:
Many women use MACA root supplements to help combat infertility as well.  While there are few statistics available on the effectiveness of the treatment, the Australian Magazine “Good Medicine” states that laboratory of rats have found that they had improved fertility after eating MACA.

Menstrual Relief:
MACA is also considered effective in relieving menstrual symptoms.  Since many of these symptoms seem to be directly related to the body’s inability to fully absorb the vitamins and minerals it needs, MACA root’s anti-oxidant properties and hormone-balance qualities are a good way to counteract that.

Expert Insight:
“Whenever possible, I prefer to use MACA therapy rather than Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) because HRT actually ages the body diminishing the hormone producing capability of the glands,” Dr Rebbe Gabriel Cousens, a diplomat of the American Board Of Holistic Medicine.  “MACA have proved to be very effective with menopausal patients in eliminating hot flashes and depression and in increasing energy level.”

Anti-Aging:
Scientists attest that MACA is a means of normalizing steroid hormones like testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen.  Therefore, it has facility to forestall the hormonal changes of aging.

Anti-Stress:
Organic MACA Powder (raw) is an adaptogenic root that enhances your ability to deal with stress and alleviate depression while boosting energy, endurance and performance.
